I'm not on statins no! I think as you say it's probably burn out and realise it happens throughout diabetes but for some reason this has hit me quite a bit!

Thanks for the message and my wife is a huge support even if she says otherwise! I just wanted to detox my body a bit and see what benefits cutting a lot of caffeine out has on me :) I suppose I have to give it time and see what happens

I originally hated the idea of going on the pump however over recent years I looked at the benefits and my future with my wife etc! I haven't spoke to anyone regarding ulcers as I presumed I was just at a low point and body is telling me this! Just want to get back on track with diabetes etc and...

I was just wanting to refresh and detox my body.. Part of me was wondering if that's why I feel run down but I think with other stuff going on it just all clumps together!

Hi all I seem to be getting down about my diabetes as I have had it for around 25 years and got put on the insulin pump at the start of January last year. I seem to have got into a habit of not doing bedtime bg tests, not changing pump cannula on a 3 day basis sometimes goes to 5 days, and also...

I was concerned I would be changing my cannula tomorrow morning and then when insulin runs out I would be changing the infusion set tomorrow evening. So would I be able to change cannula tomorrow, then put new insulin in the pump in the evening but then do an infusion set change on Monday?

Hi all, I am a new pump user and have the Accucheck insight pump system using Novorapid pumpcart. I am a little unsure of this weekend as have had it fitted on Wednesday 11th January and has come to the weekend when I have no contact with nurses! The points are as below: 1) They said at the...

I had a CGMS fitted and the issue with mine was dawn phenomenon, I was going low around 4am but by 6am it went high, and by time I wake up, it was still high. They decided pump therapy would be best as they can control insulin overnight to prevent this from happening! Hopefully this will work!

I agree with this, I am usually between 8.4-9.6 for hba1c and about to go onto the insulin pump on Wednesday, I also agree to keep a hba1c to that low level must be on verge of hypos :/ I hope pump is suitable for me to help bring hba1c down to a better level! Would be great to chat with you...

Hey! I have been diabetic type one since I was 4 and a half, now 27, would be good to speak with you and discuss things! Hopefully speak soon, send me a pm if you would like to! X

I find that if I have drinks one evening then the following morning my blood glucose levels are really high but then plummit a couple of hours later so it usually is 22 when I wake up but then as low as 2.6 two hours later so just be careful and monitor lots

Bless you! Well hopefully you will keep strong and keep up with diabetes control! Hope you enjoy making future plans too!

I have had the monitor attached to me a few years ago that showed every night I went below 1 around 2am! No wonder when I was a little younger my mum always heard me struggle around 2am or 3am! I am more bothered about future health issues now and If me and my wife in a few years time decide to...

Thanks so much! Been very stressful but glad to be married! Both those things you suggested the book and website I will definitely look into thanks for that!

Yeh azure said similar! Just getting into the habit of listening to alarms! Quite lazy on alarm setting but hopefully if I have a message pop up on my phone it will remind me more than having just a sound!

Yeh I really want to get into the habit of testing before meals as it is so important for me like many others to get back on track! Setting an alarm is a good idea and may look into doing that until I get into a routine! Thanks

Hey all, I have had diabetes for 26 years and been coping well with it, however for the past few years I haven't been testing very much (once a day most of the time) my hba1c is around 9 and have also got to have eye laser surgery! Scary times, I recently (on Saturday) got married and want the...

Hi there! Just dropping a few people a note of encouragement for having diabetes! I know it can be hard at times but once systems are in place that work it takes the strain off alot! I am 26 and had diabetes since I was 4 and a half years old! Crazy how times flown by! Hopefully hear from you...
