Its not been too bad alot to get my head around but that's about it to be honest and fed up trawling online supermarkets checking carbohydrates haha but hoping it get's easier as time goes on x@kaylz91 . Welcome to the forum Kayleigh. 3 weeks in, I'm hoping it's not been to bad so far.
So much to learn and this is probably the best place to learn.
Any thing you need to know just ask and you'll get all the answers you need.
I had a simple one for the first 2 weeks but I was given an Accu Chek Aviva Expert from my nurse last week that I enter my carbs into etc I'm really liking that one at the momentHello kay I would class my self as a new diabetic but iv had t1d for over a year now I've been though some bads and good my top tips are 1 always check bloods, I had a honeymoon peirod (this is where Ur body starts to make a presentage of insulin again for a short time) and I got to comfiy so even if u think u feel fine always make sure 2 it's OK to be a bit higher than low just in case, your not in a hyper on less Ur over 12 3 my final tip is because u get Ur meters for free shop around find one u like. I had a glycomen it was nice for a bit but after testing about 5 meters I love the contour next one it has Bluetooth so u can keep track of Ur readings on Ur phone and add little notes for Ur meds and food so u can go back and work out "why" if u need to but I'm a Newby so this is just what's been working for me so far
I have been severe t2 for the last 12 years, and it can be a struggle. But it is a life worth living.Hi there everyone I just want to introduce myself my names Kayleigh and I was diagnosed Type 1 just over 3 weeks ago if anyone fancies a chat go ahead

I've been sticking with things like chicken and eggs mostly as can eat as much of that as I like had 3 scrambled eggs on a sandwich the other day for lunch at least I was full haha and yeah my fiance's work mate bought me a bag of those morrisons ones I think they are called jelly atrics or something haven't needed them so far but it's so tempting to open the bagwell I'm a type 1 my diabetic nurse told me that you can eat the same food buy in small potions, and always carry some jelly baby sweats incase you have a hypo.

I'm not watching it either been too busy xmas shopping online OH wanted to watch it to see Soutar as we know him but he's done a dissapearing act on me hahaI'm not long in the house, been out walking and just catching up with the snooker at present.
I like Andy Fordham, nice guy. Get yourself down for the World Matchplay at Blackpool next year, it's great as a lot of the players (past and present) mix with the fans, that's where I got the opportunity to talk with Bristow and a few others.
