As someone else suggested some planning as to where you store insulin - taking double medications using frio bags etc Are all great ideas. Travelling alone takes a lot of planning for anybody- we diabetics just have other factors. You can try and think of scenarios and how you would deal with...

I did this test about a year or so ago and thought it was rubbish then. With diabetes my heart age is 38 (I'm 35) without it I'm 30 because I have good bmi cholesterol and blood pressure. I work pretty hard at exercise which this calc doesn't ask about it. Don't listen to it - it's **** and far...

Interesting- I have bought a sensor from boots before and wanted another for some long run training. I don't need to use libre all the time I don't mind finger tests that much. I was told they can't sell they can only order them for people with prescriptions. There is a shortage and they need to...

I got very excited by the smart insulin possibility wished this was on the horizon.

Finally got somewhere with the sample result- No phone calls so asked nurse while I was there for something else. She said that all the bugs grown (hurl) were normal and nothing required anti biotics. The urine sample would've been requested for potential infections not kidneys. I am going a bit...

I'm not doing too bad today thank you - hope you're good too. My bg isn't too bad but not absolutely perfect. My review was a week or so ago and the nurse was happy and happy with all bloods. I have been diagnosed type 1 about 2 years and been trying to get hba1c down,I've never had any signs...

Some days I find diabetes frustrating and other days I do feel it's unbearably hard. I agree it's hard to know if you aren't diabetic what it's like to try and run with blood sugar through the roof...like going through quick sand or that it feels like you are actually going to die when having a...

Work is also a big stress for me, I find that it has a real impact on how I can manage my blood sugar. Not only because I'm not in the right frame of mind bit physically I know it makes it higher. Stress has a physical impact on everyone bit they often can't see it until they have a stroke or...

They have called me and said the sample was contaminated so do it again- she mentioned not able to do anti biotic or tell bacteria so I'm thinking infection? I am absolutely terrible for reading into things. Anyways.. more waiting lol

I rang this morning and they didn't know on reception so said maybe Monday? Hope you are ok take care :)

Thanks for helping- I am sorry about my language as well - it wasn't an extremely bad one - but I won't use it again promise ;)

No word today - I'm sorry going really off point now but I'm also starting to feel a bit ******. Very sweaty got a bit of stomach cramps plus my usual exercise is very hard to do. I did do a bit of Dr Google and seems to say poss uti? As crazy as it sounds I did a bit excited that it was...

I dropped off the re wee yesterday morning it's to go to local hospital - so now it's just the waiting game. Hate that lol

My mum had a frozen shoulder that took a good few months to fix - it was due to a freak trip - she isn't diabetic.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, you are really brave dealing with all that and still sharing it with others like me. Some days I feel sorry for myself that diabetes is cruel and unfair, sometimes I just think it's not my fault and try my best but now I'm sort of thinking I haven't tried...

Sometimes there is no reasoning with diabetes! I have the exact same routine Monday Tuesday - exercise work lunch etc but sometimes you would think I was going competely mad doing no activities and shovelling cake! Then boom comes back to normal again. It's very draining so give yourself a...

Thank you for your help everyone it's much appreciated x

I was (probably incorrectly) diagnosed type 2 for about 3 years - my control was fab for about 2 years then sugars went up and up until diagnosed type 1 June 2016 - so 2 years now. This year I have really tried to get better hba1c and the review went well said everything was good. It just feels...

I'll think about that actually - thank you x

Thank you for replying, these things are just so frightening. I will get the extra test done and go from there. All my blood tests were great (I'm sure she said kidney and liver good in that group too). So many issues at once has just got me frazzled - I'm currently evaluating my job it's very...
