    Anxiety problems with higher HBA1C?

    Wow, you too? :banghead: The thing is, nothing heals proper when you're running so high figures and it hurts, burns and itches.

    Anxiety problems with higher HBA1C?

    Hi @Simmo76 , I hope you're feeling better very soon! I feel for you, i've been there. For years i was treated for T2 diabetes and my a1c was 11 when i was finally told i'm T1. Before i had the levels under control, i was anxious to the maximum, fell out with everyone, had some problems at work...

    Let me be a lesson to all of you (aged 20)

    Hi @hodor1234 , Well done for stopping smoking!I can confirm any kind of pain is getting temporarily worse during the detox process. It will get (much) better, at the moment your cells want the nicotine and the other countless toxins so badly. They wanna trick you into giving up giving up...

    Hi Lily, Your dad has a very caring daughter indeed! Having lost 7 stone and still running in so high figures plus a lot of exercise daily..that sounds like T1 indeed. The same happened to me, i was so ill already when i finally got a hospital referral after a few years! Good luck.

    New diagnosis

    Hi Arfie, You already got very good advise from the other posters. I would like to suggest swimming? I have been to Doha last year and found it just magical to swim in the Persian Gulf! Not too many tourists at all, i found only expats are going swimming? I didn't mind swimming with a kaftan and...

    NHS and Free style Libre

    I have posted on another thread that my consultant replied to my email telling me i have been funded. I was promised already early last year but my CCG (Islington) wouldn't give green light. Nearby boroughs like Hackney or Westminster had the funding in place since last year. I was pestering the...

    Freestyle Libre cost/funding?

    OMG, i can't believe it, looks like i have been funded! My consultant just replied to my email from this morning: It’s all in hand - we did not know how long it would take to process the applications . You have been funded. A letter will come out to you in due course. Yes, hopefully the...

    Libre GP Prescription Issue

    My consultant said i should send her my Libre data via Diasend , in a few weeks she will then write to the GP. I really don't understand all this hassle, my strips would be more expensive.

    Infection after ingrown toenail surgery

    I had to go to the GP again because i seem not to tolerate the Flucloxacillin, had to throw up yesterday a few times and felt worse by the hour. Heavy limbs, the chills, slight temperature and incredible weak. I had to take my old staffie Cecilia again to the vet for a change of bandage, she...
