About 10 in old money.

Sorry to be negative but I am utterly fed up. I'm fed up of finger pricks, blood tests and cannula changes. I'm fed up of carb counting, guilt around eating and facing the inevitable consequences of over indulging. Im fed up of answering 'whats that?' when people see my pump or my meter...

Hi. When you are newly diagnosed I believe you go through a "honeymoon" phase where your pancreas will sporadically still create insulin. On top of normal doses this adds up to hypos. I had exactly the same thing and it fizzled out after around 6 months. You just have to be super careful at...

Good shout....I've just found this website that gives me some reassurance... http://www.buzzle.com/articles/legs-ache-after-drinking-alcohol.html

When I drink, the following day I really struggle with aching legs. I used to put this down to standing etc. when on a night out, however last night I was sitting down in a restaurant all night, drank 4 or 5 pints and this morning my legs are really sore. Is this something that happens to other...

Hi just having the same issue. Did you get any further with this?

Hi! I wouldn't worry about healing etc I have recently had a lot of work done just make sure you have plenty of bepanthem, cling film and micro pourus tape to keep it covered for the first few days. My only other comment is make sure what you get is right for you. I have a few tattoos some I...

Thanks, perhaps its a bad batch or maybe the background insulin needing to be increased as you say. Ive managed to get it down to 8 after 5 hours and an extra 12 units. Now for some lunch to ruin it all again lol

I dont think so cause it has been going on for about a month now...and I dont feel rough....

I am t1 have been for just over 3 years. In this time I have managed my diabetes really well. Recently I have noticed that my bs have been really quite high. I had put that down to Christmas/ NY eating/drinking and just tried to continually adjust dosages accordingly. However now I am back to...

Great stories! Whilst looking for wedding venues, my fiancée' and I went to stay in a hotel in France with my Mum and Sister. The hotel was very posh and had a swimming pool, jacuzzi etc. So the four of us decided we would use the facilities. Whilst sitting in the jacuzzi I started feeling like...

Lol. Whilst I am slightly deranged whilst drunk, I'm not a dancer and I tend to just stand/sit around chatting. So I don't think its that, and its a different kind of aching if that makes sense, it doesn't feel like I have done to much. My sugars are normally fine the next day I always have...

I've noticed the last few times I have been out drinking my legs really ache the next day. I'm 24 and was diagnosed 3 years ago, I have had no complications so far and am pretty worried that this could be a sign of nerve damage...? Is this the case or are achy legs normal for diabetics after...

Hi, I used to have the same problem as you, I am 6ft 3 and 24 and upto about 12 months ago I weighed about 11 1/2 stone and felt really skinny. I started doing some weight training with a friend and increasing my food intake (especially protein). Yes protein doesnt always help with gaining...

Wow thanks for that reply...I am fairly familiar with carbohydrate counting but I still suffer from high/low readings...however it is getting better. I think what you said is probably right, I will have to dry and find a diet/excersice program that suits me as I will not stick to it if it...
