I seen a dietician after diagnoses and again at my request when I was getting my self together this year. My personal experience was that I knew more than the dietician! I can't understand advising more carbs but she did. I smiled and nodded politely but it was a waste of time. For me personally...

Hello fellow insomniacs! I work 3 days a week and the night before each shift I'm lucky if I get 3 hours! The joys of hating my job! On break now and already looking forward to bedtime. Off tomo so know I'll sleep tonight [emoji58]

Hi @emilykarenzzaa04 I can empathise with you...I was diagnosed 6 years ago and shortly after diagnosed with depression. This caused me to abuse myself through binge eating and neglecting my health in general. I spent 2 years with a cbt counsellor (I've other issues as well) and have to say once...

Thanks again @GrantGam1337

Hi @Elsby I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's great that you have found this forum though you will have plenty of company on here! I'm not following LCHF so can't offer you any help there. Would you consider a care package from the NHS? I know you need to be assessed etc but one call per...

I'm so sorry for tormenting you all with these questions. I am trying to read think like a pancreas and do my own research I just find it hard to transfer that info to my day to day life if that makes sense [emoji85] So my aim is to reduce my a1c to aid my husband and I with the adoption...

I have Facebook but I find it makes me feel really down and I wouldn't feel comfortable discussing my diabetes on it. This forum I LOVE!! I feel I can ask you guys anything and no one makes me feel stupid. Twitter and instagram I've never ventured onto..

Thanks @robert72 was worried I'd have to calibrate with it or something!

Is the starter kit meant to come with test strips for the reader?? Mine didn't. Will this make a difference if I use my own meter instead??

Food wise I don't miss much as I carb count and have a good grasp on my ratios. Life wise I miss my freedom. From the minute I wake to last thing at night diabetes is on my mind. It's had a massive affect on my self confidence as I was poorly controlled for the first 5 years of diagnosis and...

Thanks so much @AAP2 That information is invaluable. It's really isn't easy and is taking over my life. I've a history of depression/anxiety and since this has begun I've developed bad chest pains and hypertension (I'm 33). My counsellor who I see for infertility issues is helping me with coping...

Ah your amazing! Thanks so much @GrantGam1337 that's the best help :D

So my freestyle libre arrived this morning and am keen to get everything in place before I set it up. I have an android phone and have heard of people using an app for it. When I search for it in play store a few different apps come up can anyone advise which one I should go with? Also is it...

Thanks @Freema Great link thanks @asparagusp [emoji106]

Does anyone know if it's safe to take this supplement with metformin? I'm type 1 on levimer and novorapid but take 500mg metformin in morning for insulin resistance. Thanks.

Thank you @Juicyj xx

It doesn't effect my sugars but I do find it difficult to blood out once I finger prick! Always have cold feet and I can't sleep with socks on either but my hot water bottle is great :)

No the bullying has been going on a good few months before we knew about the buyout but your right it definitely has put an edge on things with all staff. I'm not sure how I feel about the pump. My clinic have suggested it before because I also work night duty at times. It's taken me 6 years...
