The same has been happening to me, I'm on an iPhone. Technology aye!! Claire x

She did have complications, she's collapsed a few times and had a detached retina late last year and had to have an eye operation. I'd rather it be that she can eat and drink what she likes (like T1s can) instead of making out we can't eat this and can't eat that but I strongly agree that they...

I agree with @noblehead this book and app is a God send! Another good app is my fitness pal. You can scan barcodes of packaged foods and get the carbs for those too. Not a day goes by where I don't use either of these apps, I can't even remember what I did before them! 1:10 is the ratio I...

It can get infected from what I've heard but I've had mine for two years and it's never happened to me. It has fell off once or twice but only if I've moisturised the area before putting it on! Funding is the hard part. I got mine because my hba1c was really high but it wasn't quite high...

Hi @Lucia1 I was the same as you before I went on my pump. The idea of being attached to a machine for the rest of my life was really off putting. However, going on my pump was the best thing I ever did. My control has tightened and I'm achieving hba1c levels that I haven't had since...

Hi Steph, I've got a couple of piercings and tattoos and none of them have been a problem, you may just have to sign a form before they do it to say that you accept liability. I'd recommend having something to eat before getting it done and make sure you're not heading into a hypo though...

No you're not T1, type one is an autoimmune disease and is different from type two. If you are a type two taking insulin then that's what you are! All the best Claire x

Welcome to the group :) Claire x

I signed it and had the same response. Shame really as when I used one I really benefitted. I can understand why they won't make them available though :( Claire x

Welcome to the forum @Katie1105 and congratulations on your pregnancy! First of all, if the nurse you spoke to was useless then I suggest you find yourself another one. If you ring your diabetes clinic that you usually attend for your care then they will book you in to see a specialist...

It feels naughty but nice haha! Fingers crossed that's the last time it'll happen! xxx

No worries :) Yeah, I don't really want a repeat of yesterday any time soon! It wouldn't be so bad if I knew what caused it but it just happens from time to time! I'm 33 weeks today so starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I worried a lot about how it was affecting the baby too...

Thanks hun, feeling loads better today just worn out and achey, still sat in my pjs! [emoji23] It was a **** day but at least I managed to stay at home. The last time it happened I got admitted. Claire x

All good news then! I've struggled all the way through with my diabetes to be honest. Just don't let it beat you! Apples are a good choice as well as fruit juices such as orange juice and apple juice, I found that the more my pregnancy progressed the more treatment I needed for my hypos because...

I know how you feel, it'll be my 20th anniversary on bonfire night this year and I'll only be 25! I've never enjoyed bonfire night because of this reason and tend to stay away from people and mourn for the loss of that part of myself for the day. It'll all be changing this year because I'll...

Welcome to the forum @CJRoberts :) Claire x

I used to get like this through my teenage years. (When my diabetes was a lot less controlled than what it is now) I used to hurt myself out of frustration. It does get better. The fact that you said it happens when your sugars are out of control is a good sign as you know what's causing you...

I agree @azure it's concerning how little they know about it to be honest! I'm feeling better today and had a hypo free night. Just resting now because of all the aches and pains it's caused by being poorly. Not long now and it should all be over :) Thank you for everybody's help xx

It happens quite often to be honest, I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over so my body will feel normal again! It's the hypos I can't deal with. If I'm still the same tomorrow then I'll go in. Last time it happened I got admitted to the delivery suite and I was shocked at how little they...
