I've really struggled to lose weight since I was diagnosed with type 1, two years ago. The diabetic nurses are thinking about changing my long lasting insulin and they also want to talk about getting a pump?

Thanks I have done a little bit of digging today. I've been quoted £15-17 per month, which I feel is pretty fair for what suits my needs. I do have one dependent. So I'll research some more over the next few days

Hello. I'm looking to get some life insurance for peace of mind. I would love some advice on who is the best company to cover a type 1 diabetic.

I was advised to do HIIT training. High intensity interval training. Look up tabata circuits and see if that helps. I'm currently doing it along with a balanced diet. It seems to be working for me. Hope this helps

I've been using Metaformin for around 4-5 months along with insulin. So far I've had no issues. It sounds like I'm just lucky.

Good morning Jen92. To be honest my blood glucose levels have slightly improved over the past few weeks. I'm not sure if this is down to Metaformin or my new diet fitness regime? Yes I use levimir at the same ratio and also Novorapid 2.1 ratio at meal times. Hope this help[emoji5] Sent from my...

I was started on metaformin a few months ago and it was a complete shock as I also received a letter out of the blue. I have started taking 500mg morning and at night. I still take my insulin at the same ratio as agreed on my Dafne course Sent from my SM-G930F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app
