Hey guys! I have had various symptoms for a while and have been diagnosed with a bunch of stuff from chronic fatigue, severe depression to fibromyalgia. My diabetes control over the last 15 years has been pretty awful but I've changed how I think about it recently and I am really taking the...

I didn't actually realize this was this common, but it makes me feel a bit better that I too get a morning spike haha (around 8am-1pm). I've been trying to gently bolus it down and always end up with a hypo around 2-3pm. Feels like a constant science experiment!

Omg this could be me... except I moved from Wales to England, not the other way around! I've had diabetes for 15 years and constantly feel burned out, I'm only just starting to get it under control. As the others said, take one day at a time, we all have good and bad days, don't try to change...

Oh my god that is terrifying!! I'm so sorry that happened to you! This is certainly a warning!! I am finally getting on top of my blood glucose, I'm so scared about this whole thing

Ah sorry I think I worded it incorrectly! I am not blind or partially sighted, I have just required glasses due to my vision, and every time I go I need a new prescription. I am certainly trying to look after myself more now because this scare has just been the worse :( I'm pretty sure I had...

Thanks! I'll ask at the hospital :) I did look into the Harbourough one, but as I don't drive I think it would be hard to get to unfortunately :(

Oooh I haven't been doing 4 hours! I'll do that and see how it is. And I'm learning so much on these forums haha

Hi, yes I have, I don't remember them saying anything was wrong though which is weird. Then again I do have short-term memory problems, but I would hope I would remember something like that :( And I went yesterday, they did a test where they used a probe with a light on it to look into my...

Okay so as you probably know from many of my previous posts, I'm not too good with knowing how to control my bloods. However, the last week I've been trying my best and I've had good sugars to an extent. However, I ALWAYS spike around 10-11am and it's baffled me. Here is a sample: I take 30...

They said they will if my pressure is still high tomorrow, I'm so worried ;_;

Hey everyone! I am looking for fellow type 1 (or other) diabetics in the Leicestershire area, or if anyone knows of any support groups? I don't know anyone else in the area who has diabetes and it makes it very hard. I feel incredibly isolated at the moment and would love to just rant with...

I was a bit worried as I know I have endo appointments but I couldn't seem to figure out when my next diabetes specific one was! I contacted my GP today though and they advised me that I can talk about diabetes and stuff at my LTC clinic appointment on the 24th! I felt a bit silly as that kinda...

Yeah haha it's actually why I'm back on the forums! I've tried and failed to control my diabetes for so long and I've had a few wake up calls. I think my denial largely comes from a huge lack of support when I was first diagnosed in 2002, as well as being a teenager and just never coming to...

So I've always had bad vision since I was about 8. I was diagnosed at the age of 16 and my vision has gradually gotten worse. I also have large eyes because of grave's disease and they make me feel so gross and ugly... I regret to say my diabetes control has been horrible due to denial, lack of...

Thank you so much, I'll try that!

Thanks for the info guys! I am still very much trying to work things out after years of neglect and denial mainly due to bad mental health... It's been 15 years since I was diagnosed so I am basically going through a 'born again' phase, trying to learn new things to help me control my diabetes...

Those ears!!! What a cutie!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful day :)

I always thought it smelled a little like vinegar!
