Hello there, I have recently started a new job and now sit next to a girl, 23, who is a type 2 - diet controlled - diabetic.. Her mother, grandmother, etc all have type 2 and on the relevant meds she however isn't on any drugs and simply diet controlled. Every time I have tested her numbers...

Aww fab - shall retract my message and check out yours! :) Thanks

Hey there beeties peeps, I was wondering, what happens to your body/bloody sugars when you are stressed? Say for example your boss arrives at works, takes all his/her pressures out on you leaving you with a bad taste in your mouth as well as a looong list of things on your to do list - what...

Hello everyone, Just need a bit of advice if possible to see whether this is a 'beeties related issue or something else that Im unlucky enough to have... This might be a REALLY stupid question. I have type one.. my numbers are decent - just waiting back for my latest HAb1c results but...

Thanks to everyone and congrats to those who have seen the light! It isn't the easiest thing to deal with as Im sure you know and all those in your life who support you know that its tough especially through those awesome 'give-me-food-or-I-will-eat-the-closest-thing-to-me' moments. But there...

Hello there, This is more of a message of hope really. Having had Type 1 diabetes for about 3 and a half years and getting diagnosed at a ripe age of 25, I thought I would get things licked easily. Wrong. Maintaining a positive attitude only gets you so far. Recently, I was really struggling...

Hey there, I'm a little relieved to see this post I have to say. For the past 2 and a half years Ive had abnormal results in smears, have had 2 colposcopy's, all which are bringing back abnornal results. I'm having to attend the hospital every 6 months for this and well.. I did ask the DR's and...

Thanks Fergus, guess its a case of going back to basics with the diet and starting again to get the numbers down effectively.. Have a good Friday 8)

Hello, I really would love some advice on ketones if possible.. Recently I have been having bad pains in the abdomen and my right hand side kidney area.. My bloods have been running a little high, waking up on 16's and sitting around the 13-17 mark during the day (thats not every day can I...

I had the same thoughts as you being a fairly new (ish) beeties sufferer.. Thought that no one would want me with the potential complications.. But you know what, there are those REAL people out there who will love you so much that no matter what happens they will be around to help you out and...

Thanks very much for both those recommendations.. will check them out. Hopefully this will be the route of perfect numbers from here on in! Hoorah! :D

Hey there, Having been getting slowly frustrated with my type 1 issues like the peaks and troughs in my blood sugars for the past year, I've been doing some research on this forum - which has proved really helpful! So am now going to give the low carb diet a go and see how that fairs with...

Thanks for your response! (Really love this forum - so handy for all those questions you feel silly asking your Dr or nurse) So its back to basics and counting carbs, knew it had to be easy. Good luck for the wedding; I'm sure you will look wonderful on the day :)

Hi there, I've been diagnosed with Type 1 (hoorah!) and although I am coping well with needles and such forth the one thing that I am struggling with is weight loss. I am not over weight but just want to shape up - my nurse said that losing weight was harder when on insulin.. Are there any tips...
