Cheers ok I'll throw that to go, thanx Damianpclow

Did DAFNE 7or8yrs ago, much better managed since then. 35yrs diabetic, so it's bound to happen. Thing is Juicyj I've found the tingly thing had started a good year ago every now and then, said it to go and consultants, on Rampiril to slow it down...I changed from Rampiril to Valsartan which...

****, had forgotten about neuropathy, yep it is

Long term type 1 diabetic here, this last year the hands are getting tingly/fuzzy/dead feeling. What is this condition called! Anyone with experience of it, tell me can it be managed?

briony1, do hunt out a dafne course, bear in mind in Ireland the courses go on for a week (Dafne-saved-my-sanity). Hormone levels have significant effects on how easily insulin works. Do you have a carbs list booklet? Do you eat similar food/amounts of these foods? Can you get similar length of...

Yep, lots of headspace needed for calculating and pre planning every bite to eat, every run for the bus!

Yep I do that too.

Dafne, saved-my-sanity. Absolutely. Introduced me to the idea that all our different bodies will set their own guidelines and patterns! A relief. In reality, you gotta have a weighing scales by your side when there's new food on the menu...seems easier to just eat fruit, vegetables and breakfast...

A dietician had told me she recommends people eat a large matchbox worth of proteins per day, unless they're doing sports training.

Are you taking a background/basal insulin? Do you happen to know at what hours it's working at it's strongest? I wonder is the fast acting insulin crashing into the action of the background insulin?
