I definitely hope so! Thanks for the reply (:

For any horse riders out there, do you know how diabetes can affect horse riders insurance costs? I am currently setting up a share in a horse, and the riders insurance was advised, so can anyone fill me in? Thanks x

Check it out with your hospital, but I had a similar thing and they called it the dawn phenomenon. It is all to do with when you eat and stuff like that.

Hi! Trust me, you're not alone. I thought I was the only one until I found this discussion, so thank you! It is really hard. I have been a diabetic for just over two years, and my blood sugars have recently been a little chaotic, but are starting to come back under control, however, I am eating...

I am thinking of going on a pump, but I am not sure. I have had some problems with keeping my blood sugars in range at the moment, and have been advised to start on a pump by the children's clinic I attend. They say It will improve my control, and I get stomach pains from my injections...

I'm on insulin pens, so maybe pump is good? I just don't really like the idea of having a tube and needle stuck in my side! I sounds a bit uncomfortable, but I guess you get used to it. I did ask at the hospital today, and they say I should do continuous blood monitoring for a few days. I guess...

Hi, I have almost had t1 for 2 years now, and it still don't have perfect control. I am currently having heaps of problems overnight, and my blood sugars are on a roller coaster that ranges between 2.4 mmols and 21.5 mmols! I used to have almost perfect control, and barely ever went above an...

Hi, I wondered if this had I happened to anyone? I have no idea what to do? Go to bed (22:00) blood sugar = 5.5 Night testing (1:00) blood sugar = 7.6 In the morning blood sugar = 21.5 This is happening every night, how can I help?

Hi, I'm about the same age as you are! I guess we go through the same sort of thing. When you are at school, do you tell your classmates about your diabetes/do they know about it? I haven't told people, so if they see me blood test, they get really surprised. Do you think I should have told...

I have thought about your theory and I don't think they link or anything, but I will look up everything that people have said, because I am a little fed up of this depressing feeling! (As you can expect!) ;) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Wow, that practically exactly what happens to me! I am proud of being healthy, but you know there are still temptations... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thank you so much x As I said, one of my friends is great, the other just messes everything up. :( I know what you feel about not understanding and stuff, because even though my mum is the best and really supportive, but I leave the house at 7:15 every morning and get back around 5:00 I also...

Oh, and meditation sounds really good!!!! I used to almost every day, but I dropped it when I started getting a homework overload, but I have more time now so I need to start up with that again x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks, and about the friends. One of my friends is really nice and very understanding, but doesn't really get the fact that I find it irritating when she does eat really good but un healthy foods, but she doesn't really eat as much stuff as my other friend. She is not exactly a friend, she just...

About once a month I have a bit of a mental breakdown about my diabetes. I just have a day when I am running really high or something like that, and I just collapse because I am a really ambitious person and I have got to admit that I get very frustrated when my blood sugar is above 9! I also...

Isn't there anything anyone can do for you? What does the hospital say?! They always seem to be able to do something to help you and your family? You can't give up yet, you never know what could happen. I'm sure your family and everyone that you know are so proud that you have made it so far...

I try to remember to bring in some 90% chocolate but I keep forgetting! :/ Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks xxxxx (your posts are always so helpful!) :) ;) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I am REALLY TRYING not to eat too much chocolate and I have been carb counting for about 4 months. I was diagnosed April 29th. I had an hba1c of 31, but I have had bad levels recently because I think that my ratios have either dramatically changed or I have come out of the 'honeymoon phase'! I...

I suppose it kinda makes sense that some people might not agree with low carb but I've been wanting to for a while because after reading other posts I REALLY don't want to have out of control diabetes! (It could stop me from horse riding ;)) but it's soooooooooooooooo hard not to get tempted by...
