Hi, I didn't get any shedding letter or mail the first time early this year but I was classed as clinically vulnerable so I worked from home. This time - and I'm still 62 with T1, I've had a Letter and an email from Matt Hancock saying I'm in the Extremely Clinically vulnervle group - have they...

Hi Everyone, I'm 62 with T1 and have been injecting since I was 17 with great control so was lucky. However, there's always an however! The last 2yrs I've gradually lost hypo symptoms and food seems to be taking longer to absorb through my stomach so insulin and levels all over the place and...

Hi All, I’ve not read all the previous posts as there’s a lot, but I’m uncertain re getting back to normal work role. I’m 62 with T1 for 46yrs. BG results not too bad and I’m a little overweight - bordering on the edge of obese but Bmi actually 29. I’m a social worker but working from home...

Hi, I didn’t find any answers to my pain and it continues. I’m still on Tresiba and still have suspicions over it - no muscle pain direct from the areas I inject though. It seems long term T1 tend to suffer from joint, nerve or tendon pain? I’m trying to cope on Tramaset at night instead of...

I’m going to Corfu in Sept with Jet2 staying in an apartment with my husband it’s a special anniversary but if there’s a second peak by then I won’t travel. I’ve had T1 for 46yrs - age 62 now with now other conditions apart from Fibromyalgia but I still feel very much at risk and would wear a...

Well I’ve tried to stay in as much as possible since the beginning just going out for a walk, but on two quiet occasions in M&S I’ve worn a mask and will continue to do so. I am a frontline Government worker but working from home due to type 1 for 46yrs and being 62yrs old I’m not taking any...

I still feel there is no clear information for me by the government or on this site ?? I work full time at social services frontline teAm who have to assess vulnerable people in their homes. Boris said people with underlying conditions under 70 should try and avoid social interaction and travel...

Many thanks

Hi all out there! Well it seems this dreaded virus is well on the increase here in the UK and yes like other diabetics I'm very anxious. I have been off work for 5 weeks now recovering from a hand operation while watching TV and the developments happening. Meanwhile my husband who us 68 but...

Hi all, Well I got my Libre yesterday and DSN put sensor on inside if my forearm for me as I suggested, however it ached and hurt if touched for a while after. I was still sore today and two corners of the sticky surround were going red? I was advised by her to remove and try another perhaps...

Hi, Sorry to jump in on your issue but mine is a little similar and I'm looking for an answer too if anyone can help? I've only had my Libre since yesterday and diabetes nurse placed it on inside of my arm. My problem is two corners of the adhesive tape are causing my skin to go a bit red and...

Hi, Thanks for all that info. They thought the original neck and shoulder pain about 10yrs ago may be PMR and I was put on Steroids. As you can imagine this played havoc with blood sugar levels and did nothing for pain. The MRI showed the OA in neck. This has been long term but manageable pain...
