I have been told I "look underweight" though according to the chart I am not.

I'm not frustrated, I'm frightened. I will not get it right all the time. I will screw up. It is impossible for anyone no matter how experienced to get it right 100 per cent of the time. So you go through this knowing it will get you in the end, it is literally the feeling from the dream where...

I started waking up at 4am when I was having lots of trouble with lantus and never stopped doing it. Now I just zap the libre and go back to sleep, about one night in five I need to do something. It's OK if you don't have an early start, if I have an early start it is often 5.30 or 6.00 and you...

I would love to know how. You correct something and you watch it climb and you assume on trust that it will eventually stop climbing. But sometimes it doesn't, because there are one billion things to take into account and you missed one of them. So you have to watch, and by the time you realise...

No it doesn't. Libre made me more paranoid because it made it clear what a terrible job I had been doing and continue to do even now. The absolute worst part of it is screwing up, taking a correction, then spending the next forty five minutes checking and checking and checking. You have to watch...

Did they just say 767 without saying what they were talking about? If you didn't know why didn't you ask?

This is from a UK perspective. My parents wanted me to go to a private place in London and I had one phone call with them on the subject and spoke to someone who had used their services. I never used their services myself so this is all things I have heard from others, not personal experience...

Argh. No. There is such a thing as "objective truth." Your body does not care how you feel about the situation and that is the same for everyone.

I had all those factors, especially running, that all went away in a second. I am not made of money I share a flat but it seemed like a good idea to do whatever I could to fix the problem as much as possible. I would never tell anyone not to make too many changes, that is just an excuse for not...

I'm not quite sure what you're saying, you seem to be putting it in "trying to be nice" language which is possibly not helping. Really it isn't about what changes people "want to make," the changes I personally want to make are none at all thanks, but we don't really have that choice do we...

Is that a complicated way of saying that people shouldn't change what they're eating? Isn't that really risk advice that could affect someone's health? Are you completely sure?

I was told (diagnosed last september) that I might get headaches when high, I didn't, but apparently it is normal. Lorna it is probably not my place to try and give anyone advice as I am barely any better at this than you are but I wish someone had said this to me nine months ago. Lots of...

I can't do anything "properly," I can barely do anything at all, the answer to "what did you do today" is always "diabetes stuff," anything else happens as an after thought.

Define struggling. It isn't nice?

Since I last posted on this thread I've had the "can I have a word" thing... Reading between the lines it looks like they are losing confidence in me.i can hardly blame them but it's exactly what I thought would happen and it is happening, and it is just utterly depressing.
