Thank you for your reply Considering I was diagnosed 8 years ago you’d think I’d be on top of it by now but due to a lot of stress and personal issues I’ve neglected it all. So I’m trying to learn it all now . I don’t carb count , for breakfast lunch and dinner I pretty much eat the same thing...

I’m not talking about being fed up and down trying to manage your diabetes I mean does it actually physically affect your mood if that makes sense I’m asking because for a long time I’ve struggled getting my levels down alive no one to blame as I wasn’t looking after myself - my morning levels...

The whole diabetes thing is very confusing and keeps changing . I spoke to my gp who is one of the top gps in my surgery so youd think he may know. Well he just told me he didnt and to check the nhs website. Then he told me we are probably going on a lockdown anyway ‍♀️ I personally from latest...

Hiya I'm struggling with depression and anxiety. I wanted to try st johns wort and wonder if any else had tried this and it helped or made their type 1 worse. Is there any other natural remedies that may help if this is not suitable

Any good salad recipes anyone can share for a type 1 (lada) diabetic . I'm trying to steer clear of the canteen food at work. There is salad but it's your basic lettuce and tomato !

Hi all As like many I love my morning cup(s) of tea. I've started to use my fitness pal to try and help keep track on my diet and control sugars. I am new to it and trying to hang of it. Well I had three cups of tea this morning and when I put it in the app it said ideas 30grams of carbs ??? Is...

I have been suffering alot lately with low mood and anxiety . I've been looking at what supplements I could take as I really don't want to end up on anti depressants. I have been looking at things like st John's wort etc. But it looks like it's not good to take with insulin and metformin. Any...

Yes I'd like to know also. I got some from holland and Barrett but alot of people say this is not the best. I've tried it only for a couple of days so not noticed any difference yet . I would like it to help with anxiety

Some people just don't want to eat first thing . Breakfast is my fave meal of the day. Does his school Have a breakfast club or anything. Could he not get something there or take something from home to eat just before class . That way there is a bit of more time of he feel like eating first...

I'm trying to start , I'm not very good at it . I feel quite over whelmed by it all. I'm struggling with planning meals if I was on my own it would be easier. But with a family it's more difficult.

Yes I test before. I do take insulin novorapid with each meal and lantus at night. I will start testing after food and see what spikes it. I've not been eating great meals in the evening as my partner has been working lates so just been doing quick easy ready meals. I've also been getting bad...

I don't usually check them after .

I recently had my HbA1c levels done and they are 60 . They were fine under 48 but gone up. My everyday levels when I test have been good the best ever since diagnosis in 2016 even my fasting morning has been under 8 it's usually 10 or more . How come my HbA1C is up.

Thank you. Yes that does sound how he was explaining it. My consultant is not the most approachable so I didn't feel comfortable asking him to explain more which I know i should. I'm.going to see about changing to see someone else. Appreciate your help

Saw my consultant today and he told me I may need to ad a correction dose of insulin if my levels are high before I have my meal. So I usually tale about 4-5 units wi th my meals. He said for example if my levels were 17 before (Which sadly they were one day last weel) then my target is to get...
