    Applying to work off shore with type 1

    I was diagnosed 3 weeks before my first offshore trip unfortunately, so I've not been :( I'm office based until September, although officially I'm medically cleared to go offshore now. I'm an engineer and so haven't required job specific training. I'd advise looking at Amec or Wood Group PSN...

    Applying to work off shore with type 1

    Woohoo that's me! So basically your medical requires you to have 3 months of "good control", as approved by your consultant. That is as far as the hospital goes with regard to controlling your job. As far as offshore restrictions, the OIM and the medic have to agree to have you on the asset...

    Recovery after getting tonsils out!

    HUGE benefit now they're out. I'm never ill now! I had them removed last July. Since I wasn't eating it drinking much my BG was very low most of the time. It was a struggle to being it up at times. I was high (about 14) when I left the hospital but that was it. Body recovered quickly...

    can you still work as a nurse with insulin pump

    Yes. I know a paediatric nurse who just got one and she says it's changed her life. Shift work is so much easier now because when she's on her feet she can tbr the basal to prevent hypos Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

    Honeymooning ?

    I'm on similar meal ratios and 2u levemir once a day. At last hospital check (January) the doctor suggested I was honeymooning at all and that I COULD be just really sensitive. But we're not sure. I've been diagnosed just over a year. There is the cpeptide test have others have mentioned...
