Woohoo! That is the purpose of this thread, motivation for us all to be that little bit more active :) Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I use pens, my cousin uses syringes. It is entirely personal preference. As you are wary of the needles I would probably advise using the pens as they seem less "clinical". I have no problem seeing the site when using them. Mine aren't clunky at all. Doing your own testing is a great step...

Vivofit 6385 Pedometer 5884 However they both say I've walked 4.4km. The experiment continues! Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

The more practice you get the easier things seem. Can you test your own blood glucose or does you mother do that for you at the moment too? Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

All very very new then! I was diagnosed a year ago. Thankfully I adapted very well. Knowledge is power with this condition. Take your time and read lots. Learn how carbohydrate will affect your body and you will slowly work out how you should dose your insulin. I don't have a fear of...

Take 1 day at a time. It is a huge shock when you're diagnosed, but you'll find you adapt. When were you diagnosed? Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Hi Chloe Welcome! Plenty of us T1 here. What are you worried about? Is there anything in particular you are worried about, or is it just the stress of the diagnosis? Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Yes planning on wearing both all day tomorrow to see if there's a big difference. I know neither will be accurate really, but I'm intrigued :) Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

5798 so far today. My new vivofit arrived today so I'm interested to see how the step count in it and my normal pedometer match up Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Oh how this topic has changed ;) Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Only 3380 today. Not. Good. Enough!! Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I use 5 a day minimum. Sometimes as much as 10. Usually 5 though. Get 300 at a time and just request more when I'm done Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

If he's in control then he probably doesn't need to. It is a good habit to get into to check basal occasionally though Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Personal choice really. On a general day no I don't. But if I've been particularly active then I will. Or if I've been high before bed and taken a correction I'll check at some point over night to make sure I'm not going hypo. It seems that most parents of children with diabetes check...

I don't mind it ending, just wish it had waited until after pump assessment ;) I'm going to basal test overnight on Friday I think. JHogg will LOVE the disturbed sleep ;) should give me a better idea on where I'm rising. From experience I used to rise until 3am then drop until the morning. If...

1 or 2u bolus is still the norm for me! Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Yep I think honeymoons on the way out! Bolus ratios haven't changed, it jut seems to be the basal :( Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I'm up and at it again. Ducking Fiabetes! I've doubled basal this last week but it's had little effect on BG. Go to bed around 8, by 2.30 I'm up at 15/16 so take a correction. I'm still 15/16 when I wake at 6.30.. Takes me until late afternoon to bring it down again with corrections Every...

Glad to have someone else along to play! Sadly I don't know the answer though :( Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Found the C25K voice annoying haha I have a close friend who's a personal trainer so I'm following a plan she set (I'm two weeks behind in it though shhh!) Unfortunately the only solution to the foot is to visit the podiatrist and bankrupt myself with insoles for a fallen arch. Only hurts...
