Thanks Sam I would love to take you up on that, no-one other than a Type 1 can possibly understand why I am stressing. I ended up feeling like a hypochondriac yesterday. The Doc was just saying your HBAIC is fine so dont worry about the daily highs but of course I am worried and ashamed to admit...

Thanks Andybeet It was the 'specialist' I spoke to. My problem is the constant highs never low. Have posted before about how off the scale exercising was making me despite trying variations of injecting before/after eating before/after. I suppose I am just fed up. Haven't been this down for a...

Hi everyone Had my annual review today and I am so fed up. HBAIC in range as far as they are concerned at 7.8 I'm not over the moon but I have certainly been high enough over the last 90 days to warrant a rise. I asked the Doctor if there was anything else I could so to support my control ...

Hi there I just noticed your post, and myself posted something very similar in ask a question a few days ago. I'm going very high after exercise despite, trying eating/not eating, injecting etc. I was offered some great advice if you have a look. What exercise were you doing if you don't mind...

Hi everyone. I'm not sure how we define moderate but I wasn't pushing myself in a daft way, I might not be the fittest person around , but I can cope well with 20 mins on the treadmill or a dvd, I do get a bit red and puffed out lol but I enjoy that. I have never had this reaction before and...

Hi Janabelle Not a rant , that was very informative thankyou. I have been type one for 11yrs and the only time I get readings under 10 is when I am cutting carbs way back. I'm trying to be consistent with this, but have been working so much this year that its just been easier to grab a sandwich...

Thankyou, that made for interesting reading. Tried the same routine this am but had 4 units before exercise , no food, and was 18.9 after So..will try my normal injection of 12 units tomorrow am before exercise, again no food, and see what happens Karen x

Thanks Lizzie I didn't have anything at all before exercising. I thought that 7.4 would be perfect to just crack on with :roll: The exercise was Jillian Michaels (Biggest Loser) 20 mins fast cadio/weights mix. Knackering lol..can you say that on here?? Afterwards had 7 units humalog and 3...

Afternoon everyone Not new the the forum or to Type 1..but new to this sort of problem. Have exercised in the past, but this am waking levels were 7.4 best result in a long time. Did a workout dvd with my son (didn't inject humalog just my morning levemir) and came to work. Checked my levels...

Hi I'm happy to discuss any aspect of being a Type 1, especially how frustrating lack of contol is!! Karen

thanks mammacaz..after spending an hour or so research there are definitely plenty of horror stories out there going to try my hardest to lose a stone and get back fit, can only help matters, between this and angina i feel geriatric! :oops:

Thanks for that Fergus, I hope I did the right thing in refusing them, at least until I know that I can't make a difference myself

Thanks for your reply! My diet in the last three months has been pretty good , although not low carb as I fell off that wagon a bit back. I don't have anything fried, I don't have breakfast, basically I have a panina for lunch plus a pkt of crisps and then my dinner which is usually stir fry or...

Morning Guys and Girls Got a shock when I went to pick up my prescription on friday, a post it note on my strips saying cholesterol was up and I needed to take simvastatin for life! Needless to say I was a bit shocked, not leastly because I was being told by the till operator and not a...

Well to put a different spin on it I had completely the opposite happen Was booked in for 8.45am and really struggled walking to the bus station afterwards. Couldn't see my phone screen so couldn't phone for a taxi. Went home for an hour before going back to the office to wait it out. Didn't...

Hi. Thrush has been the bane of my life since dx 10 yrs ago. Lesser now that I have better levels but I still take Didlucan at least once every other month. It's usually a battle with the doc to get it prescibed, but it does work far better than and other treatment. Tesco do there own version...

Hi Mason I am very recently diagnosed with PCOS and I am Type 1. Had problems for years , and glad to finally have a name for it. I can't really offer any advice as I am learning myself, I did post on here last week and there does seem to be a few of us in the same boat. Hopefully they will be...

Do you mean do a search on here Sue? Will do..ta

Thankyou for that link Ken , the site is brilliant.

Finally a diagnosis, after the various hospital trips! After the doc telling me I had Candida last week, which was downplayed in a big way (thanks to all who replied) the ultrasound technician let slip the pcos yesterday. I don't really know anything about this yet, but they did say it can be...
