Hi Its nice to read actual realistic stories here about the reality of type 1. Being diagnosed in1982 I am a relative newcomer.They never mentioned diabetes ruins ,rots your teeth due to excess sugar in blood .Even the dentist denied it recently...so I,m going to have a beer while I still can...

Interesting thread as a type 1 since 1982 and I have drank beer alcohol my entire life.I have suffered no alcohol issues I have come to the conclusion Beer and ale is a Health drink and is good for you. and should be promoted as such....

Hi YES I have had a roughly 4 week delay between handing in my usual repeat insulin Scrip and they have just phoned me to say I will be receiving insulin this week...I am not receiving what I ordered .Its the same pork insulin but they couldn't obtain the 3ml pen cartridges so I am back on the...

Going back onto the syringe 8mm ,had a gutsfull of the pen , supply issues with my PORK INSULIN ,I take 56 units am it only does 42 then I have to dial the extra 14 units.. also leaking cartridges and they run out quickly.,so for me it's back to 10 ml vials and plastic syringes.There has been...

Hello s1994 a reply of some sort would be appreciated if your still around.The poster above DannyH has nailed it for me,very accurate description of the situation,Socialy,physcologicaly,emotionally,physically it's a very hard to put into words .Try your best that's all you can do...

I realise now everyone's outlook and possibly multiple other health conditions contributes to a complex mix..When I mentioned 1 a day jab improvement I wasn't referring to going back in time, to the bad ,hard old days glass syringes etc. I ment advancement you take 1 jab in morning pen system...

Thanks so much for your honest reply TONY,its best we agree to disagree as multiple daily jabs is just no advance.I too had needles like bolts and urine tests ,but its not about any pain on injection...Its the constant thinking I must jab,must jab never goes away I mean people need a break from...

I take 2 pig/ pork (thank you mr pig you are a holy CREATURE and should be honoured)insulin jabs daily .The clinic said to me we have a huge breakthrough 5,even 6 jabs a day is a huge advance REALY.I did try the synthetic ,analogue,or Human insulin for a while it nearly killed me.They blamed me...

Reading the interesting items above No Rhyme or reason is an accurate description of the illness ,there is no explanation for Blood Sugar levels at times.I , you cant explain it top consultants certainly cant.I know I've been on pork insulin for 39 years,not a long time compared to some of the...

I was fishing down the pier and suddenly I was bent over it felt like SHARDS OF GLASS being rammed into the soles of my feet.It was cold and feet wet .Rubbed VICKS on feet later helped a lot.I found TIGER BALM good also ,not real tigers far as I know .In the long term as most solutions it's...

Thanks for the link and other info.1965 that's some time back urine tests?,needles like nails ,steel. heavy syringes.The only person who I liked and respected was Sister D she has now passed on.The rest I dont like they dont like me I guess,complete shower of s*** putting it mildly.I am actually...

Guess you have had it a long time .That drop in service was similar to other hospitals I was at.Its all changed now I missed my yearly Diab clinic appointment first time ever and they sent me a letter discharging me from the clinic that was 3,4 years back.They said your GP will monitor you...
