Hi guys, Does anyone have a spibelt? I'm thinking of getting one but don't know whether to get one or not, if anyone does have one would you recommend one, how much can you fit in them and what do you put in yours? Thanks,

Re: Looking for interest in a team Type1 That's brill Andrew, looking forward to it :)

Re: Looking for interest in a team Type1 Definitely with the Cardio - me and my fella just completed Insanity by Shaun T - 90 days pure cardio it was brill and the results are great as long as you stick too it, the cardio has really helped me run for longer though which is good. We should...

Could you do a bit of reading on each one and see which takes your fancy more? I wasn't given a choice at the time and I was put onto a Medtronic Paradigm which I love. I don't really know much about the others? I tend to hide mine in my bra or clip it onto my pants. I had a few problems finding...

Re: Looking for interest in a team Type1 Available for all abilities or are you going to set a standard i.e runs a mile in 9 mins / regularly competes in 5-10k / trains 2-3 times per week?

Re: Looking for interest in a team Type1 unless we made a training plan altogether, go and do it and then report back?

I would sit down and talk to him about your concerns so that he know's your worried. Generally speaking you would have your fast acting novarapid when your eating food and your background 24hour insulin can be either at night in the morning or both. You should speak to the specialist nurse...

Re: Looking for interest in a team Type1 I'd be up for it! Don't know how the training would work though with everyone living in different places? :D

I'll have to try and do the celery sticks I think. I have a hard boiled egg with lunch if I'm having a salad. I get gluten free crackers as I've coeliac disease too and there's hardly anything in them so I sometimes have one or two of them if I'm hungry. :? x

Thanks for your advice guys and girls - I know, sorry it's a dodgy topic I just needed some sort of reassurance that it is kind of a normal thing. I really appreciate it though. Maybe after the wedding I'll be less stressed ey :D

I've been tested to the limits so i've given up. I'm hoping that if I forget about for a while it will just restart again soon. I keep getting ovulation pains so something is happening!

Yikes, that's ridiculous isn't it! I don't understand why they make it so difficult for us. Surely we're safer than someone who has heart attacks/epilepsy because we get warning signs? I rang the DVLA myself yesterday and they said a decision will be made once their panel review the...

Oh ladies, I'm so glad to find this post, like you all my periods are ridiculously irregular and for the past 8 months I've not had one (no I'm not pregnant). I've been scanned for Polycystic ovaries which came back normal. All my blood tests/hormone profiles are normal too. I guess it's just...

well said :D In relation to the other comments: I understand the anger in relation to being newly diagnosed. We've all been there, I'm still a bit angry and I've had it for nearly 17 years but I want to live and I want my family to enjoy there lives knowing I'm in it. The decision is always...

:shock: hi, right, I didn't really know where to post this question so I thought I'd try in here. I was reading last night and I realised that myself and my partner aren't exactly as active as we used to be in the bedroom. We've been together 7 years and are getting married in 6 months so I...

Hi Kerry-Michelle, Your plan sounds absolutely brilliant - looks like you've nailed it!! I've a similar style to you, I try to run a few times a week and go to the gym to do weights maybe a few times a week depending if I can get away from work :shock: I eat potatoes as well, mainly jacket...

Hypo's vary from person to person, I tend to get quite shaky, dizzy and then i know to check my blood sugars. Ask your specialist nurse/doctor to put you on a DAFNE/ carbohydrate counting course once your feeling up to it. It basically teaches you how to figure out how much carbohydrates are in...

I do believe it is quite common as a newly diagnosed diabetic to put a little weight on in the beginning. This is due to the fact that before diagnosis, your body was essentially 'starved' as it wouldn't have been able to uptake the glucose into the body's cells. When you start injecting after...

I've never had a problem myself with renewing my license until now. I filled in the renewal form in December and they wrote back to me to say they were contacting my GP to get more information. Something they have never done before. My GP have sent a form back to them but I'm still waiting to...

I sometimes have Jam on toast and then the carbs prevent me from having a further hypo later on. If not I stick to the lucozade and maybe some crackers
