Sounds like hell It sounds like you have a lot of issues around your diabetes and how much it controls your life. Iv only been diagnosed a year as type 1 so I know short term what it's like and how much it has changed me as a person and how I worry about certain things like exercise/work/nights...

Got mine today. Drove up, window down, sleeve up, Injection done and then drove off to work. Really easy this way. I hope they do it next year aswell

Just had it confirmed on the phone when I spoke to the doc regarding my bloods for other things that my hba1c has reduced I started the libre in March and Iv managed to reduce it from 70 to 53

Mine this morning was 3.8 Woke and checked it but just laid in bed for about an hour before getting up for work. In this time I checked it 3 times and it went up to 4.1 I like it when my levemire actually sits good at a point where it hardly moves. Sometimes wish I could do half a shot just so...

I wear a mask now but still forget at times. I have worked all through lockdown and to this point as a bathroom fitter. I go into trade shops all the time and am face to face with staff who know me etc. At first when it was mandatory to wear them I just never did, I was used to not wearing them...

Iv got mine booked for Thursday morning around 8am Best having it than not really, especially with what's happened this year it might be a small bonus, I'm not sure

I was tested for covid about 3 weeks ago when a team mate told us all he had it. Thankfully we were all clear I'd wondered if covid might have been a reason as alot of people seem to struggle with breathing after theyve had it This might be worthwhile asking when I next speak to the doc Had a...

For about 7 months now I have been feeling unwell. It is literally getting worse all the time but it's like it will never end. I started getting really chesty when out on the bike and struggling with breath at times. I then started to bring up blood in my spit but nothing much. Over March and...

I always have desserts Sunday for my birthday I had lemon merangue(sp) pie and every night this week Iv had chocolate cake which my partner bought for my birthday The beauty of T1 is just injecting for it I do tend to eat healthily and work out but treats now and then are good

Iv done this for my insulin. I now keep 1 day acting pen in the kitchen which I use for food in there and also put in my bait box for work. I also keep a pen next to my van keys and bank cards so that when I go out I take it with me. The amount of times I forget to take it out with me is crazy...

I tend to find I have a few different types of symptoms when having hypos When my bloods go down slowly I find I get irritable and I can get angry before my bloods get to a point where I start feeling like I'm shaking. I tend to hate these hypos as they aren't always known as they are slowly...

Yeah I expect a long wait. Tbh Iv waited 6 months just for them to finally refer me today and also get me in for bloods etc to see if there is any infections there causing the issues I have I would say most hospital departments are going to be the same, just a huge backlog of people

Thankfully it came back negative but still feeling a little bad Iv actually had a sinus infection since March but as the ENT department haven't been working much over the last few months Iv just never been sent to them. I'm going to push tomorrow to see them as I think the way I feel is down to...

When cycling my bloods tend to stay stable for the first hour then they just drop. I have a sugary drink to sip constantly, jelly babies which I have every half hour or so and I stop off every couple of hours and have a little bit of a carb bar. When I play football I'm the opposite, I go up...

Iv just been tested today as a friend who played at footy last week has tested positive. Iv had symptoms the last couple of days so I'd say Iv got it but knowing me it will come back negative which is good but doesn't explain why I feel like I do My bloods have been OK. Maybe going down slower...

I'm just open about it. I just tell people if something might be a challenge because of it. I take my injections in front of people and just get on with things as normal. If anyone was to moan about me injecting in front of them I'd just tell them straight where to go. My parents are a little...

All exercise is different with your bloods I cycle 3 times a week usually and my bloods just drop quickly so I have to make sure I eat before hand and I have a sugary drink whilst I'm out If I play footy like I did last night my bloods shot up to 21.1 but 2 hours later just dived to about 7. I...

It's awful it really is I was similar to you but I was luckily been seen and treat for type 2 until my bloods just sky rocketed I went from 10s up to 15+ daytime and 23+ minimum on a night. They jusy wouldn't come down at all and I felt so bad all the time. I literally just wanted bed and...

Sounds like you were just told nothing at all I was lucky I had the nurse go through things with me and show me what to do but 3 days later I was doing the Dafne course so I learnt what to do properly that week Make sure you speak to someone if you aren't sure about things as this is your life...
