Mine was from Buffy, the charactor Faith played by Eliza Dusku. I've always loved her charactor, she oozes confidence, and when I was getting bullied in school I just always wanted to be like her. As I've got older though it was more of a statement that even though I'm not very religious I have...

Well done gezzathorpe!! I get all my results next week so it will be interesting to see if I've improved since going on a lower carb diet. I'll let you know

can you still eat fruit if you bolus for it earlier, I've found that If I gave the insulin (sorry Type 1) about 15 mins before the fruit I don't get as big of a rise in my bs? Although having said that I can go hypo at the 2 hour mark for it, again I think a little ratio adjustment might be...

well done guys, sounds like your both doing well, keep pushing and you'll get better in time. It took me ages to build up to 5K but I took my time walking then running then walking haha. I'm the opposite Andy I find running on a treadmill harder than outside, I only managed a mile this morning...

Thanks, Yes It was mainly to start a blog for people to read and for non diabetics to see what we go through and the thoughts that accompany us on a daily basis. Non diabetics wouldn't probably routinely come onto this site so i thought maybe a blog would help and spread a bit of awareness and...

haha I love this :D

Hi everyone, I've been fed up for a while about the lack of awareness of diabetes and how it affects our lives so I decided to start up my own website. It's kind of like a blog as well about how I feel and what it really is like to have diabetes. It's still in development, I've a long way to...

I think we all have to stick together in getting through day to day life. I can go a few days and have perfect sugars and be happy and just plodding on with things and then bamb.... a day of **** sugars, headaches, stressing yourself out over it all and you feel like your fighting a never ending...

You can do it!!! :clap: :clap:

I feel exactly the same way. I've been diagnosed for 17 years and I've always kept up the illusion with my family and friends that yes, I'm fine, I've got it all under control. Nothing is a worry, but really deep down and only my fiance and mum know is that I am absolutely fed up! Fed up of...

LOL :lol:

Re: I'm loving Your going to laugh... I've not been to the gym for 2 days and no afternoon hypo, so your absolutely spot on. It must be the morning exercise causing the late afternoon hypo! Thanks so much for pointing it out :D

Hi, I've had this ongoing for about a year now. I took norethisterone 12 months ago to stop a period before a holiday and since then I've had no periods. I was investigated by an endocrinologist who deemed me fit and normal. He mentioned that my recent weight loss and combined stress may be a...

Re: I'm loving Blimey Mr Happy - what an experience, as mentioned just shows how complicated diabetes and exercise can get. As long as your ok now though. I had a similar experience years ago in A+E where I'd had a fit in the night due to a bad hypo, got admitted but they pumped me full of...

It is a strange one although if I think about it sometimes before bed I feel hypo and check but I'm usually fine. It could be a subconscious fear of being hypo that makes us feel hypo so that we check our sugars.... Then again you've been busy so your probably just tired. Keep an eye on it...

Great numbers!! Have you been high though? Sometimes when I'm high for a while I start feeling hypo at random times but I'm not. Maybe tiredness has made you feel like your hypo?

Thanks Thundercat, me too. Will have another chat with her later I think. It's true what they say, you fix one part of your life and everything goes great but another part of your life inevitable has a problem lol I am glad I gave this a go though, it's helping me cope with everything else at...

Re: I'm loving Actually good point, I forgot about that, I always have an afternoon snack but I bolus for it. I might try it later and see what happens. Although BS right now is 13.7 so god know's what I did to deserve that one. Stress maybe, been a loooooong morning in work lol

Do you use your arms for the cannula's? I struggle sometimes for a new place to pop mine in, I tend to alternate between thighs and the whole of my stomach, even my love handles :D

Re: I'm loving I need to re-read it I think, since the first time I've learned loads but like you said SamJB I think my basals are changing again as I've slowly started to creep up over night! Such a pain. I'll tell you what's interesting though. No matter what I do in the afternoon's I will...
