Oh thank god. I could walk/run 3 miles I think but not run it! I hit a mile 2 weeks ago - mega celebration! (when I finally got my breath back!) Slow and steady :) Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Stop it! You're showing me up! I struggled to do 2.8km yesterday. Had to walk by the end :( Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

7695 yesterday, 2.8k of a run in that Dave who are you up to see this week? Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Yeah it's my main arguing point! I've said we want to try as soon as we're married..... That's a stretch but they don't know that lol because my hba1c is within the recommended range for pregnancy they still might not go for it, but I have a lot of hypos so maybe they will. Impossible to 2nd...

Where there's a will there's a way. Kicking up a fuss has helped this far haha I do meet some of the ABCD recommendations so I'm hoping I can prove my point and if the funding is there I'll get. If not..... Well at least I have MDI and I CAN control it. Just about! Blogging at...

NICE criteria say: Hba1c of over 8 - mine was 6.9 say check but I was unwell in the lead up so doc thinks that pushed it up Or No hypo awareness BUT ABCD recommend if: Trying for baby - I'm not but I will be eventually. Getting married next year so I would like to be settled on pump by...

He said he wasn't going to refer me so I cried. 2 months later the letter arrived in the post so he clearly caved in when I left. Love using that girl card ;) That's awesome!! It was such a big thing for her, she's so brave to get over it like that. Very mature! Blogging at...

When I was 17 they used me in a children's choir for under 12s, with no makeup I have a baby face so I blended in but my voice was strong enough to lead the kids. It'll be great when I'm in my 50s I'm sure! Pump assessment is on the 18th. Trying not to get my hopes up because I don't think I...

That's what I would do too. Show them the broken vial and explain your t1. I highly doubt they'll refuse you one vial to get through the day Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

This is exceptional circumstance. If your work will not allow you then that's illegal. You have a serious medical condition and require a new vial of insulin pronto. Fluid will help to some extent. But it really depends on how high you are Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I agree. Kids are DEFINITELY priority. More to do with their froth and constantly changing insulin needs than anything else. Doesn't stop me stamping my foot and saying I want one too though ;) I use the same amounts of insulin as a child..... I act like a child..... Maybe I should say they...

6334 yesterday. Stripping wallpaper didn't give me many :( Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I hope I won't need to see the top end of the meter too! Interesting to know :) Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Pump assessment on the 18th. This us pretty high on my list of reasons why I want one! Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I use the freestyle optium - thanks Smidge Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

Yep stretch before and after. Just pushed hard today so my body is rebelling I think! Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

I'd have no patience for it! Nor the stomach to handle some of the yuckier bits haha Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

My brother is a junior doctor. He DEFINITELY cares about the patients he sees. If he didn't then he'd never stick it out with his degree to this point! The issue with gps is they get these tiny slits to see you in. Diabetes and other long term conditions require such personalised care and they...

True! My legs are cramping this evening. I'm not walk ANYWHERE tomorrow Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com

You're telling me! Really pushed my run this morning. Strongly suspect that has something to do with it Blogging at drivendiabetic.wordpress.com
