I think I'll sit on the fence with this and say maybe she just picked a random statistic to prove a point and isn't actually suggesting that the government stop paying the money... :think: Facebook is like the tabloids - take it with a pinch of salt or as you put it - don't read it :wink:

Yes I've heard that too :x Sent from my GT-I9100 using DCUK Forum mobile app

I was just thinking about this this morning! My highest I think has been between 24 and 28 and my lowest was 1.1 which was when I had just walked home from a night out at 1am so I was still standing but when I stood still I was shaking. That was in the early days and now if it dips below 4 I...

This is so silly! I have this meter too, have done for several years then my GP surgery decided they would only prescribe one (or 2) types of testing strips and told me I needed to make an appt to get a new meter as they wouldn't issue my strips any more. When I had my appt the nurse proudly...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling like this but all I can say is that motivation for anything can only come from you. I suspect your weight loss is due to lack of insulin not because of a miracle. If you want a little bit of motivation - take one BG test and see what you register :think:

I have had T1 for the last 14 years too - I was diagnosed at 18 when I went to register at the University GP. I think I've been winging it for the last 14 years - I've never been really bad at controlling it but I've never been really good either. I am trying to change the latter now - mainly...

Hi Em Thank you so much for your response, it is actually very helpful. I do think that part of my increased insulin 'issue' is because I've been SOO lazy lately. I really need to do some exercise :roll: Over the years I do feel I've been left to deal with it on my own and my...

"When my sugars are low 'do you need more insulin' " Ha ha, yes my colleagues always seem confused about this. "What do I do if you're passed out?" Er, call an ambulance, like you would with anyone...?! I confess, I am quite a sensitive person and like to keep myself to myself so sometimes if...

Hi, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes over 14 years ago (I am now 32). After my last HbA1c in August came in at 8.4% (I really hadn't been looking after myself) and retinopathy present in my last 2 eye tests, I decided I needed to stop ignoring it and sort it all out - particularly as I...
