I had covid beginning of December.

Does anyone has symptoms of Long Covid? Since I caught covid I've had throbbing achy legs. Knee joint pain. Numb feet which sometimes really hurt when walking. I thought it was Diabetes related perhaps Neuropathy. Just dawned on me I've had these symptoms since catching Covid and symptoms seem...

As long as you can live life and have good control on your diabetes it doesn't matter your requirements of insulin. 1 unit of insulin basal/bolus can make me hypo or hyper.

The swabs they have been supplying recently have been useless, all dried up. Best to use soap and water and your own nails.

Not just high basal but high bolus. I have very small amounts of both.

Glad I'm getting the phizer tomorrow, 2nd jab.

18.4. I had an Indian takeaway night before.

I had a chest infection then soon after got type 1 diabetes.

See the GP Wednesday. I will report back.

Hopefully go to the pub then haircut. Then eventually see my family. Not seen them for over 2 years!

I've had one phone appointment with the consultant in 2 years. Wasn't very helpful. Get my hba1c checked once a year. If I'm lucky feet and blood pressure checked once a year. HBA1C is rising year on year. Have Maculopathy and possibly neuropathy. Age 36 Type 1 of 9 years.

So would I! Lol Suprised I managed to get a real appointment it's like gold dust in this covid era.

I'm considering getting one but will do my homework to see if they are any good. I've been having problems with my legs and feet for a few months now. Just seems to be getting worse. Have an active job on my feet all day and I'm struggling at work especially. Will see GP next week to see what...

I've never panicked about hypos as I've always had excellent awareness and I can deal with them soon on. Since I've had the libre I have more knowledge of what my blood sugars are doing around the clock. This should be a good thing but it just makes me more miserable as I constantly see double...

Every day is a rollacoster with my blood sugars. No matter how hard I try. Blood sugars crash at 4pm and about 6am most days. Post meal they rise upto 20mmols and take a good 6 hours to reduce to 10mmols. In between all that it's around it's around 13-15mmols.

I have suffered depression and anxiety for best part of 20 years and have been in a visious cycle when I feel really down I neglect myself then my blood sugars run supper high then I feel much worse. Reach out for help if you need to. Even a 5 minute chat with someone can make a difference

Miss my old GP surgery and pharmacy. I was treated much better. Have always having to go to the pharmacy to collect more supplies as they won't give me an adequate amount of supplies. The GP owns the pharmacy that's the problem! Lol

No spare they wouldn't give me one. The day I got my libre the GP removed my script for my accuk check mobile. Feels like I'm asking for too much sometimes.

Yes on Novarapid and lantus. Best day today it's been between 6-10 mmols which is remarkable for me! I've been basal testing and think I may have the right amount of Lantus. I've split the Lantus which helps slightly. Increased my ratio for Novarapid. Still got some work to do to make sure I'm...
