    The Walking Dead (may contain spoilers!)

    Loved it. I was hoping the tiger would have a nibble on Negan's face

    The Walking Dead (may contain spoilers!)

    Oops, just noticed this thread after starting one earlier. Really looking forward to the finale tonight. Negan is one of the best bad guys on TV in recent times IMO.

    Hyper's in the morning (dawn effect)

    As others have suggested, it sounds like his Lantus isn't lasting for long enough. I know if I took one Lantus in the morning it would absolutely be gone well before I wake the next day and I would wake up with a high. I would suggest he speaks to his specialist about it and they may reduce the...

    Weight the same but waist bigger?

    Thanks everybody. It's not a concern, as such. Just something I haven't experienced before. Happy to not gain any weight in the last few months at least :)

    Weight the same but waist bigger?

    I had my check up today. Jumped on the scales and was surprised to see my weight was the same as last time but I'm aware that I feel fatter and assumed I'd put on a few lbs. I am fatter, when the nurse measured my waist, 3cm bigger! But no weight gain So, weight the same but waist bigger. Do...

    Struggling!

    Hi Daisy, It sounds like you've had a rough few days. I'm sorry to hear that. I think high levels of stress and anxiety can affect your BG, especially if you feel the urge to comfort eat! I firmly believe it's good to vent or just to chat about your situation and the Internet is a marvellous...

    You should still enjoy your food. Just be super aware of what you're eating, the carbohydrates going in and how fast they act on your blood sugars. How frequently you eat a take away or drink a full sugar fizzy drink is down to you. Don't feel bad when you do have a treat but remember it is a...

    Hi! Keeping your carb intake low will help when it comes to maintaining a good blood glucose level, but! What sort of a life is it when you deny yourself a treat? a takeaway, whatever. If you can avoid too much sugar, especially fizzy drinks, then great. I actually prefer diet coke or coke zero...

    Hello!

    Oh I see! Good luck. Is McNulty the consultant there? I hope it's a good one for you. I have to travel to the LRI for the eye appointments and that's not much fun.

    Hello!

    Ah, no. Sorry. Is that where you work / have your checks? I have mine at a local clinic as the city is a trek for me.

    Blood sugar won't stay up! (T1)

    It sounds like you may have taken too much Novorapid for your meal (was it as carb heavy as you thought?), then perhaps didn't cover the drop off with enough glucose after you went hypo at 2.6. What did it rise too before falling to 3.5 again? Did you give yourself some hypo-recovery time or do...

    Hello!

    Hi everybody. I've been type 1 since the age of 8, exactly the age of 8! I was diagnosed on my 8th birthday in 1984. I turned 40 a couple of months ago and have always kept my diabetes pretty private. I figured now I'm in middle age and have suffered some eye problems a few years ago, I should...
