@Scott-C @azure @TheBigNewt @noblehead Thanks for your suspicions about the high fat content food alongside the rice. I'll keep a check of this and see whether there's a difference between the two -- I'm sure you're right. I'll let you know how I get on and whether I still have rice in my life...

@Ledzeptt Thanks so much for filling out the questionnaire, great help! In my case, I think the stigma or "otherness" attached to needles when used outside of a hospital setting is partly to play. Whereas popping pills, while still medical, is commonplace, as you pointed out. My friends are...

Hello all, Rice. This is a tricky food stuff for me. To a smaller extent, pasta. These two stuffs are the Achilles heel to my tight blood sugar control. Their onset appears to be slow and they seem to emit a greatly delayed spike. Consequently, I experience a high peak in the evening that is...

Hi all, My name is Alexander, and I was diagnosed at the age of 21 with type 1 diabetes in February 2015 after suffering with acute DKA. Upon receiving my diagnosis in A&E, I remarked to the doctor attending to me, "so I'm not totally fu**ed, then?", to which he replied, smiling warmly, "no...
