Unfortunately I'm looked after by Kings College London and they stated they're too overrun to be dealing with admin at the current moment. I'm not too worried honestly, until I get any further information I'm happy to continue. It's just frustrating to be left in limbo, like the OP said really...

I don't think it is quite simple, we've received a text message asking us to confirm with GP, spoken to GP and they state they do not know themselves if we should stay inside for 12 weeks. Certain medical conditions causing higher hbaics but still no letter. This seems a similar situation for...

Yeah mine's very high, as a diabulimic,still haven't had any further contact [emoji51]

It's infuriating isn't it! I've had exactly the same as you, no letter but two texts and supermarket slots. I'm so confused. Spoke to the GP surgery and they had no idea either, said they "just don't know". I'm still going on a daily 20 minute walk until I'm told otherwise

Heya, So it seems to completely depend pain wise, affects everyone differently. I was on a morphine drip and ICU with it for 4 months, but have now not had an attack for over 8 years. However, lots of people I know are able to continue well with only some pain and can take paracetamol. Hope...

I'm currently self isolating and am at higher risk of infection due to diabulimia. It's really beneficial to have the availability of this for myself and others. I'm also slightly confused as to why people are freaking out about the government having our data. Unfortunately, this is the era we...

Sorry, not a worker at Sainsbury's or the NHS. I have an account with them also. Thanks so much for the reassurance but not worried about it being illegitimate, just wanted to know if others were having the same situation and how the government were deciding on the most vulnerable category...

Hi all, please don't worry I've signed onto Sainsbury's separately and it's been confirmed I'm a vulnerable customer, it's all legitimate and the delivery is coming Thursday. All the press releases have confirmed that the data is being sent to supermarkets via the government, so if you're...

Hi @sleepster, if it's any help I didn't register. They just said the below (picture) in regards to how they've identified us.

Heya, Thanks for responding, Hope you're well. It's all legitimate, it's from Sainsbury's address and I clicked it through to their website etc. with very limited delivery options, but I did manage to get a slot. I'm type 1 for 26 years and diabulimic, receiving specialist treatment at Kings...

Hi all, Apologies for bothering you all but I'm a tad confused re covid-19. Like most others I haven't received a text or letter regarding the most vulnerable category and 12 week isolation. However, 3 days ago I received an email from Sainsbury's, stating the below: 'Over the past couple of...

Type 1 for 21 years. These are hilarious. i'll add mine. 1) Hypoing whist skyping my friend (she was in Turkey). Got completely naked and ran round the laptop singing. She had to phone my mum and get my brother and Grandad to come and sort me out. 2) Sticking my hands down my knickers in front...

Thanks all :)

Thanks noblehead I know I will. its just worrying that people can be allowed to say this. What if a child with type 1 saw what they were saying an believed it! It's so dangerous :(

Sorry but I've managed to get in a disagreement with some person on twitter with them trying to tell me how to cure type 1. Any support from those of you with it would be amazing. I'm getting quite upset an frustrated tbh, I know I should just leave it but its so ridiculous. I obviously don't...

Yeah my basals are fine, it's more to do with psychological aspects of my life and how it affects bs ect. I'm looking forward to the metformin reducing my amount of insulin and we'll see what happens hypo wise. I also need to reduce the amount of stress/anxiety I get that definitely lead to more...

Yeah we've discussed it but I don't want a pump, I'd like a cgm but like I said he doesn't really seem to care about it as my hba1c is fine an cholesterol etc. I'm very new to carb counting an have found it helpful. I also think I am a bit ott with my monitoring an should probably relax with...

Sorry didn't see the first responce! Urm I've always had bad hypos it really shocks me when people don't, I've never run high but insulin wise I'm 1:10 and 19 units of lantus. Yes I started low carb about 2 months ago, ha e found it does help with swings but there are still lows. I think a large...

Hey, thanks for the response. Yeah basically my doctor is ridiculous an always in a rush but I did want it so I can't complain. Oh right, my type 1 friends have said that they have decreased their humalog an lantus due to it. But you haven't had this?. I suppose I'll just test more and lower if...

Just a quick overview. Type 1 for 20 years fairly good control, however always suffered bad hypos (when my partner rings the ambulance now he doesn't need to ask they just come straight out). Anyway I asked my dpecialist for metformin to increase my progesterone, ovulation and allow me to...
