It's no wonder I have problems early on. I didn't try hard enough and my diabetes team well.... Lol

Not accurate advice from my consultant then. Thanks that's useful to know.

U have to be checked every 3 months or 6 months by the surveillance team I believe so they can keep a closer observation on your eyes. I heard u can make the retinopathy worse if u improve your control too quickly. no risk for me there!

I was told you can only use ur phone or the reader not both.

Hi, I received a letter about 2 months ago saying signs of Maculopathy. Must be only slight changes. I now have 6 month reviews on it. No difference in eyesight. My eyesight is very good actually. Type 1 of 9 years. HBA1C 8.4%. It's a kick start for me to sort my self out. Now being investigated...

I remember the day I went to see a Doctor at the walk in centre. All classical symptoms of diabetes I had been feeling tired for weeks, eye sight getting very poor and couldn't stop going to the toilet and drinking constantly. I wasn't diagnosed at this point and knew nothing about diabetes at...

Your blood sugars are similar to mine. Any carbs I eat even the smallest portion size and my blood sugars sky rocket. I've been trying hard to reduce my carbs recently but just remain hungry still. Love my carbs but they hate me. Hope I don't loose weight trying to be more healthy. I'm already...

I wouldn't worry at 5.2

I would always get hypos after mowing the lawn. Anything below 5 and I would feel rubbish. Thankfully my lawn is much smaller now so I don't go hypo, trouble is I have no hypo awareness now, have a libre 2 which I'm very reliante on now.

I was prescribed gabapentin for my feet and legs. Not sure what the problem is yet. Been referred for conduction test to look at my nerves. Just waiting for the medication to kick in and help with the pain. Just seems a coincidence I have had this problem since I got Covid.

When I had covid my insulin resistance was horrendous. It remained a problem for a few weeks after having covid. Rather have the vaccine over and over again with all the side effects than catch covid again.

After my 1st jab all I suffered from was a dead arm for 2 days. My diabetes was fine. I had my 2nd jab less than a week ago and my blood sugars are really high. Taking bigger correction doses which aren't doing a thing. Increased my Lantus and that's making little difference. My control is...

I work in healthcare and I'm always educating other nurses and healthcare staff about diabetes. Healthcare staff only have general basic knowledge of most illnesses/diseases. That's what specialists are for and they don't always not a lot. It's not always about their knowledge but how they practice.

I hear the alarm on my phone during the day when my sugars go to high but when asleep in the night they plummet and I don't wake up. Phone does nothing. Think they should of focused on improving the libre 1 before bringing out the libre 2.

Watched it not really very interesting or helpful

My blood sugars only come below 10 prior to eating my next meal. Novarapid is too slow. Had my 2nd jab the other day and my Lantus isn't making any difference or the Novarapid. Been taking huge correction doses recently with no effect.

Seen the GP today about my painful legs and numb feet. The doctor had a good look at my legs. Thinks it could be neuropathy. Prescribed Gabapentin and referral gone in for Nerve conduction testing.

Doctors don't think it's long covid. They don't know enough to diagnose long covid. Been referred for tests on my legs and feet, they are thinking it's neuropathy. Was prescribed gabapentin .

No I don't get anxiety. My control is poor and when they tell me my hba1c they don't seem too bothered. HBA1C 68. I was nervous with my retinopathy appointment as my eyes have deteriorated.

Seeing the doctor Wednesday. Probably just end up with pain relief then get sent on my way.
