    Eye Surgery soon, any experiences?

    I had a vitrectomy in 2010 and other eye in 2011. Unfortunately had a bleed in Feb this year but too close to Central vision for laser so onto injections. Really not looking forward to next Friday. From the vitrectomy I have some scar tissue under eye lids which is painful if I rub eyes when I...

    Long term diabetes and foot problems

    Hi I've had t1 for 40+ years. Generally well controlled or best I can. But today had an electronic sensitivity test on my big toes. One was twice as bad as the other. I walked between 2-5 miles most days and more at the weekend. Question.... Are these foot massagers any good? Or the revitive...

    Anyone been automatically put onto statins after type 1for 50 years?

    I was told best lower than 5. Been on avorstatin for 12 months and now 3.5 so worth having. I had been given them over 13 years ago but didn't get on with that one then so came off it and ate cholesterol Yogurt but that had limited effect.

    COVID vaccine and extremely high blood sugars

    I'm experiencing the Sam on Pfizer which I had yesterday. Pretty much within 3 hrs my bgs went up and haven't stabilised. I've done a lot more than usual and just whacked up my basel to 150%!

    Covid vaccine and highers bgs?

    Hi folks I recently changed from fiasp back to apidra as I was finding fiasp **** at reducing higher bgs over 11.5. Since going back I've struggled for a couple of weeks to get my bgs under control and yesterday had the Pfizer jab. Now it seems worse! Is everyone else finding the jab has caused...

    Car insurance

    If you don't tell your insurance company and you have to make a claim (esp for a hypo for example) you won't be covered. It's a legal requirement. As is telling dvla.

    FIASP users on pumps

    Hi I've just started on Fiasp from Apidra in a pump. I'm delighted with how quickly it works and thinking about taking it AFTER a meal! But I am feeling low quite soon after and I appear to need LESS insulin both basal and bolus. Have you found the same thing? I don't want to reduce basal...

    Pump & Libre sensor & swimming

    I've knocked off my libre a couple of times so now use tegaderm which seems to hold it much better. You need to pierce it though in the middle to let the sensor breath else you get duff results. Water doesnt affect sensor through the hole.

    FIASP users on pumps

I'm having lots of issues with extended highs (up to 13/14 post meal for up to 5 hours) and when I add extra boluses they are pretty ineffective for long periods and then of course I am low later in the day. Trying to pre bolus meals but little effect more...
