My blood sugar has always risen after drinking coffee, but the caffeine helps me feel so much better in general. After a 10 month break from coffee I have recently started to have at least one cup a day and found a lot of my aches and pains have since almost disappeared. Sent from the...

Well done James. You must be so proud. Dodo Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

T1 now for 47 years and had my son 38 years ago. Even then I found the doctors monitored my diabetes constantly during my pregnancy and I felt very well cared for. The only real problem I found with being a diabetic mom is that you tend to have a larger baby which is why my pregnancy ended...

Thanks to both Robert72 and Robinredbreast for your support. Hope to be in and out within the week as Robert72 did. Just want to get on with the rest of my life. X Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I use the Accuchek mobile, free from the Accuchek site along with free batteries and diaries. No messing with testing strips as the whole thing is on a cassette Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I've been T1 now for 47 years and over this time I've been told I don't look like a diabetic, including nurses at a Diabetic Clinic I used to attend. Recently saw a cardiologist who told me I don't look like a 59 year old diabetic (not sure what he was expecting!). Can someone tell me what a...

Can't believe CJLD999's in-laws. My husband doesn't like needles but have told him he may need to do it for me one day. We're going to start practising on oranges before I let him near me! There is a great deal of ignorance regarding T1 and I think I've heard most of it over the 47 years I've...

Going in soon for triple/quadruple heart bypass. Have been T1 for 47 years and always hate giving others control of my diabetes (even the professionals). Maybe I shouldn't take so much notice of the media but have had a couple of bad experiences over the years in the care of the medical...

I agree with older. I was 12 when diagnosed and decided I wasn't going to let it affect me. Partied all night, drank as I wanted to, but I think I was lucky. Still here 47 years on, doing ok, have a 38 year old son, and diabetic care has certainly improved over the years. Sent from the...

Thanks for that Robert. Good to hear from someone who has gone through it. I think the part that really worries me is being diabetic. Over the years I've learnt that that nearly always causes complications or extra worry (especially for the doctors/nurses). Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Have been watching this forum now for a few weeks and thought it a good idea to join. I've been a T1 now for 47 years and at the moment am waiting to go in hospial for triple/quadruple heart bypass op. It's always worrying having to hand control of my diabetes to others even if they are...

Would love a case to just carry my pen, some spare needles and an insulin cartridge. The case my novopen came in is rigid and I always manage to open it upside down so the contents fall out. Would love a simple leather case to pop into my handbag.
