Just recently had mine done. It was about a year and half between my first and second due to covid. I had a slight change in my eyes so would rather get seen yearly for that reason so let's see what happens

Tried it a few times with my partner. She's often curious when I tell her my reading is say 16 after a meal. The highest she has tested is around 9 but checked not long after and it was right back down. I think this was after we had had an Indian and we always have a feast from the Indian

That's what the 2 ladies doing the Dafne course said to me I was been treated for type 2 but bloods just went up to 15+ mornings and 20+ evenings and nights. I was put on insulin about 2 weeks before doing a dafne course and they said over the first few days to bring levels down 5 or so then...

73.9kg when I did mine Xmas day. Will be interesting to see what they are this week after all the pringles and picky bits Iv eaten through Xmas and new year

Wasnt feeling too good so went to the docs. They did bloods and I was referred. I was treat for type 2 for a year and half before then going onto insulin for type 1 as my bloods just sky rocketed without anything changing. Averaging 15+ daily with 20+ through the night. Soon back to normal with...

Jelly babies are one of the best things to have. I have a cupboard full of sweet and a shelf in the fridge is full of the small cans of pop you can get. Appletiser/sprite/Fanta/dr pepper. I was always told either 4 jelly babies or a small can. Either will raise bloods around 1mmol. I woke last...

Uuuh they are nasty. Suppose with the pump you can't just spread around so end up like that Thankfully mine is just a raised area under the skin but noticed bleeding more from injections so when reading found this was part of it

Just noticed tonight an area at the top of my leg which is raised like ba bump under my skin. It has been an area Iv consistently been injecting into so I'm sure it will be lipohypertrophy. Iv always been meaning to move areas for injecting but with always doing it I just forget to move around...

I agree on that. Worked so hard this year almost 7 days a week for weeks through the summer. Just been a mad 8 weeks or so Let's hope things ease up and it's not going to be a regular thing. Something which is to do with diabetes

So I was diagnosed diabetic about 2 and half years ago. I spent a year unsure if it was type 1 or 2. October last year I was confirmed type 1 which changed my life for the good with been able to control my bloods for the first time in a year and half. Anyway this year has been one from hell in...

You test before meals to see how it is before hand then a couple of hours after to see if your bloods react well to that food I test about 8+ times a day but have the freestyle libre. I test middle of the night, when I get up, middle of morning, before dinner, middle of afternoon, before tea...

As said it is usually the speed If I go on the turbo trainer for an hour or so I burn that much sweat that my bloods rapidly drop if I don't eat enough throughout. The other day I did alpe du zwift so I was really working hard. All through my ride I checked bloods and they were fine. I got off...

Definitely not. How can they ever check your feet or eyes over the phone Iv got my annual appointment for eyes and feet in just over a week. I love how they always fob you off. They have done it with me all throughout this year with a problem I have with my sinuses until I demanded action

Chilli, chips and rice for me

What a ridiculous thing to think. So because I play football 2/3 times a week and cycle alot I should be paying more medical insurance just to get help from the NHS. I play football and cycle so I feel good mentally, so I feel fit and I can help keep my Hba1c levels down. Would you rather I...

There is always a way out. A way to improve things even if it isn't overnight Talking to someone is the first step and mentioning it on here is a great thing. You need to find a way of getting on a good path to where you'd like to be. Small steps and setting goals is a good way You're not the...

You'll definitely need to know what type you are asap. I was been treated for type 2 but the doctor told me he believed I was type 1 but it was a waiting game. About 12 months later I just couldn't keep my bloods down below 15 so knew it had to be type 1. I went on insulin and within 2 months...

I generally get a towel and stretch each foot out and then I just cover my legs in cold water from my knees down. This usually works

I always forget to move. I tend to find it a little sore on the stomach so Iv just used the top of my leg for ages now. Iv never had any issues with dose so never felt the need to change If I'm sat in a bar or restaurant I'd just jab it in my stomach

Crumpets are a nightmare for me for some reason I was 6.2 the other night and had 2 crumpets before bed with butter and jam on. I would have this day or night and I take 4 units for it. I woke up about 2 hours later and I had dropped to 2.4 and shaking like crazy. Very strange how I had this...
