Yeah, its very odd, as I thought there would be one closer to Cambridge. I think your right, starting one off may be the best way to go. I think as diabetics (especially myself), it's hard to find people who understand and that you can meet close by.

Thank you, I agree, more stress this year than any previous.

Novorapid, but I inject everywhere... Because I have lumps, everywhere! I deffo need to see the nurse but unfortunately my hospital still aren't open for visits.

Vic, what a wonderful post. I am trying low carb, I also do finger pricks aswell as I know there can sometimes be quite a difference. Thank you for all the advice you have sent me, it is wonderful to have so much advice at the tip of my fingers. Thank you.

Thank you so much Ellie, I am so greatful you have shared your story. Maybe I needed this shock to tighten my control, but I am glad to hear stories like yours that calm my worries.

Thank you Mark, that's really settling my worries. Last few days my highest reading has been 10, which I know isn't great, but I am getting it down slowly. I have heard about the low carb diet, and I am have started cutting out carbs.

Thank you, they said they had seen it, and I have an appointment in February, 3 months after my last screening.

Hello all, I am hoping to find a few groups in Cambridgeshire for meeting/chatting. I don't have anyone I know or talk to that is a type 1 diabetic (other tan this forum). I recently I realised it may be good to go along to a group meet (even if a walk outside within covid-19 guidelines). I know...

I am on insulin, I have the freestyle libre, but under a lot of stress so it has been more difficult to manage. I have seen another thread saying this can be reversed. I am going to be more careful, I am already adjusting insulin, but I have lumps all over my body. I have to inject an hour...

Wow that's brilliant news thank you so much for sharing! I had the same letter come and I was worried it wouldn't be reversable!

I am in the same boat I am 26 it's scary!

Hello everyone, I am 26 and I have been told I have pre proliferative retinopathy. I wondered if anyone could shed light on whether this is reversible? I have been diabetic for 20 years, and I have been finding controling bloods harder, but now I guess this shock has really kicked me up the...

Hello, I did the same when I was younger, I also noticed I lost a lot of weight then I did it for that purpose. I had an amazing doctor who took me back on the right track. In all honesty, the teenage years are the hardest but also the years you start to really understand implications (I took it...

I used to be so embarrassed taking insulin in restaurants, so I would take it in toilets or wait (stupidly) until I got home and was sky high. Then I realised, there is no shame, I don't make a big fuss doing it, I do it through my clothes so no one is going to see anything major! I now do it at...

Have you done the Daphne course? It's really useful to help understand carb ratios and working to your own body and insulin resistance. Also I have accidentally swapped my slow acting with fast, but I have pens which retain how much insulin I have given so I don't forget or if I accidentally...

They are really busy, hence why my post wasn't a blaming post it was just some general questions. It is a very scary time for all, most importantantly doctors and nurses and other frontline key workers. I am going to ask if I can have bloods and eye test, but from what I have heard in another...

I have asked if they are doing bloods but the call centre don't know. I know some places are for very poorly people, but I haven't been given any information and when asked the call centre haven't been able to tell me. Hopefully with your news this means it can happen, but I will wait to hear at...

I have a few questions written down, so I won't take up too much time on the phone. But it is more the bloods and eye screening. So hopefully there may be a solution.

Hello that's great, I have managed to get through to a call centre and they are telling me appointments are through phone but couldn't tell me about blood tests so I will wait until my phone appointment.

I will give them another call. Just very weird time and not much communication, thank goodness for the different websites and forums!
