Hi Dave, Funny you say that, I got one on the free trial from the Abbotts site, I seem to be getting hypos in the afternoon and was curious to see if I should give it ago for that reason, but worried my diabetic team will tell me off and it not being necessary. I'm actually going to email them...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say hello. My name is Sarah and I was diagnosed officially last Friday as type 1 (LADA as I'm 36) I had an inkling as I've been feeling off for 6 months now, although my hba1c was only in the diabetic range I didn't meet the criteria for type 2, so I was sent for a...

Am currently waiting on an exemption card but advised to tick the box anyway, if need be I will pay and claim back. The diabetic team are much more on the ball than my gp surgery.

It's called Semglee I think? And the fast acting begins with a T. I have a funny feeling my pharmacy won't be able to accommodate my prescription tomorrow and I won't get my meds till Friday.. be surprised if its tomorrow. Just taken my bedtime reading, 10.9, I had a packet a crisps and some...

Hi Gemma, I received my positive GAD test results today, they were 1460 (or 14.6 not sure) I googled the reference range and it states below 5 is normal, anything above is typically Type 1. I've been put on Insulin due to this, I would of thought with 951 you would be too. I understand alot of...

Good evening, Thought I'd give you an update, my Positive GAD antibody test came back as 1460 or 14.6? As the Internet states under 5.0 is normal. I don't appear to have a c-peptide result, I remember seeing it on the blood form, maybe that hasn't come back yet? Anyway, diabetic nurse was so...

I've had my c-pep results, hence the decision to start the insulin, I just don't know what they are as I was told over the phone, I'll find out the figures tomorrow, I did email asking to see the results in writing, don't think they're working today. Today is going to drag, as I haven't yet...

I haven't had another hba1c test since Feb, I spoke to my Dr over the phone and had to wait 3 weeks before seeing the DN who said stop eating sugar and get your energy from carbs, that was it. It was the following week I had the consultant appointment where she suggested insulin there and then...

Not much difference, I take a pic each time to show the consultant. Friday I stayed at 14.1 for ages due to the news I was given, could feel I was off. I had some cake at 5pm today and tested 11.3, then 2 hrs later at 7pm tested again and it's now at 10.3. I had a small bit of chocolate cake and...

Hi there, Thank you for your replies, I haven't seen my blood results yet, I'm going to ask on Tuesday as the consultant mentioned the word positive and strong antibodies, they did test c-peptide, Zinc and something else. I was kinda stunned when I was told mainly because I really didn't see it...

Hi there, I was on b12 injections for 11 years before Covid stopped them and having to treat with tablets. Anything over 180 is exactly where you're supposed to be, so nothing to worry about there, hope that helps

Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed with type 2 in Feb this year and only started taking gliclazide this week. My hba1c was only 50, so pretty low compared to alot of you. Anyway, I had my diabetic nurse appointment on the 30th March, she said cut out sugar, get your sugar from carbs, basically it's...

12.3 for me. Always 12. Something in the mornings
