Yes I thought so too thanks

I was diagnosed type 1 in December 2015 signed off work by doctor for 2 weeks then I requested to return to work to help see how to manage my diabetes at work (Construction Work) the week before breaking up for christmas. My employer has not been supportive at all infact they have been quite...

Thank you for the advice

Hi i'm at my wits end, was diagnosed T1 December 2015 and started off really well controlling my bs very well and eating very healthy. It was abit of a struggle at work but eventually found how to cope and what i needed to do. Its been 5 months and my boss has had me in the office and is saying...

Hi Rachel, have you spoke to your DSN? It sounds like your in turmoil with all of it and having your panic and anxiety disorder cant be helping. Its different for everyone and what works for one might not work for another. I'm a newbie having only been diagnosed at the start of december last...

Hi thanks, It only stings every so often which I can put up with tbh. My DN said that if it was a problem then I could switch but would have to inject twice (can't remember which one) so I'll stick with the Lantus lol☺

I have a manual job which keeps me very active throughout the day and I walk my dog on weekends when I'm home (I work away Mon - Fri) I have always been a fussy eater so changing my diet was pretty...

I seem to be fine although its early days my Bs is pretty good between 4 and 9. I have had a few hypos at work but thats because I didn't snack at the right time. I think I've sussed it now though I carry some Dextrose tablets with me at all times and snack on mixed nuts and berries between...

Yeah me too, I'm using Lantus 10mmol and Novorapid for meals when I'm not working or exercising. How bout you what are you using?

Hi ash, Thank you. If I'm being honest then i can say before diagnosis i was oblivious and naive to diabetes as are most people without the disease, I think i've found the right place here though as it feels (I feel) much better in myself already knowing that there are people whom i can connect...
