Picked up a few bars of the new no added sugar chocolate bars from Tesco on friday. They are sweetened with Erythritol & Steviol Glycosides and dietary fibre (Resistant Dextrin, Inulin, Oligofructose) and they are not bad at all! Im a big dark chocolate fan so this was ideal for me, it tastes...

that test you did with the skittles has just blown my mind! Its like your diabetes has reversed itself. Time to go mental! Go on a binge!....(probably don't but in my head it sounds like a great idea)

Thats a very fair point that i hear a lot. All of my tattoos are unique to me in some way or another. There are ALOT of people out there at the mo who are getting tattooed purely because its current fashionable. I can't imagine this endning well...

Haha my only tip is to test! Before during and after. Can be pretty sensitive to insulin after a heavy workout so be careful. Exercise for me generally raises my levels slightly so rarely have problems with hypos. Aslong as I've got some food in me before the gym I'm all good! Haha im glad you...

Thought i would start a thread for members to post pics of their ink because we all know that people with tattoos like to show off what they've got! and for all of you that don't id like to think that this thread will inspire you! ill start with a few of mine, i have 2 3/4 sleeves, a full front...

Is anyone else on here a fan of quark? For people who have no idea what I'm talking about and think I'm making bird noises, quark is a fat free, low carb, high protein creamy soft cheese/yogurt. In a whole 250g pot there is only around 9gs carbs and you can use it in so many different ways. I...

some crazy stories in here nice to hear that i wasn't alone! i was diagnosed on the friday unfortunately and the diabetic team had gone home by the time i got into hospital which meant staying in hospital until the monday when they returned! They were also feeding me "normal" food over that...

i remember the doctor doing a urine test for ketones after she had seen my BG reading was 33 but it came back as 0? i presume this was because i had only been running high for a few weeks so caught it early?

You've just reminded me Phoenix about the week before my diagnosis. I had all of the symptoms of type 1. I was losing weight, was horrifically thirsty all of the time and was needing the toilet about 20 times a day and constantly through the night. I went to my local walk in centre and was seen...

Thought this would be an interesting topic to start up. Just wondering what everyones blood sugar readings were when they were first diagnosed? For myself i first received a reading of 13 at Sainsburys funnily enough. I went for a wellness check up whilst fasted and was told i should book an...

i feel if mine goes slightly high as much as i do if it was to start dropping too low. can't say I've ever experienced the blurred vision but i can tell instantly by my mouth drying out/becoming thirsty and i find it hard to concentrate. if i find myself staring into space its usually a good...

you don't even understand how nice it is to hear someone else who has to go through this! you will get there mate don't worry it just takes time and practise of learning what to inject and when. are you following any sort of diet plan or do you just eat as and when? this is whats gonna have a...

how in check is your diet mate? there is no reason why we shouldn't grow as diabetics so it could be down to you just not eating enough? i had the same problem as you with getting the carbs in but i learnt how to adjust with different digestion rates depending on what i was eating. I'm currently...

It hasn't really, i just wanted to get you in here. Im ashley, diagnosed type 1 two years ago on FRIDAY THE 13TH of july, a month and a bit before my 21st birthday. I was never sceptical...and I'm still not, but i feel like it makes my journey sound more interesting. Over the last two years...
