    Resistance

    Nope nothing! It’s so annoying isn’t it, I’ve had bouts of it before due to hormones etc but the last month has been horrendous!

    Resistance

    I have a little bit but didn’t want to do anything drastic and more wanted to understand why it’s happening :(

    Resistance

    Hi all - recently my resistance has sky rocketed. I’ve gone from injecting maybe a 1 unit to 10g ratio to probably 4 times that. In the morning I have always been more resistant than later in the day but sometimes I’m having to inject 15-18 units for a bowl of porridge which usually I’d do 7 or...

    Weight loss/appetite

    Hi all - has anyone ever been prescribed something to help with weight loss/appetite suppression ? I’ve heard certain insulin’s help or taking metformin alongside insulin but lately I’m really struggling with constantly being hungry (I’m on long term antibiotics at the moment which I think is...

    Pins and needles

    Hi all - if you have peripheral neuropathy does it come and go or is it permanent? How do you know you have it? Ive been getting pins and needles on and off randomly in my feet and now worried I have developed neuropathy? I’ve had t1 for 6 years relatively well controlled but I’m also on long...

    Hypos

    Hi everyone. Out of curiosity, what causes some hypos to feel worse than others? How comes sometimes I’m at a 2.6 and feel fine but yet other times I’m at 3.9 and feel horrific. Thanks!

    Eye floaters

    Hi guys, for the past week I’ve noticed some floaters in both eyes. It’s not affecting my vision but should I be worried? My hba1c is 6.4 but recent sugars have been fluctuating. Can I book an unscheduled diabetic eye screening or will the opticians be able to check it out for me? Thanks!

    BS raising for no reason?

    Hey - does anyone know what might cause random times of insulin resistance or BS rising by itself for no apparent reason?? Super annoying!! [emoji30]. Thank you!

    Can you still get DKA with normal BS but high ketones?

    I’ve been poorly today so haven’t eaten or drank enough but didn’t know if high ketones still meant I was at risk of DKA?

    Libre Errors

    Hi everyone - has anyone ever had inaccurate libre readings? For the past hour I’ve been getting an error message saying try again in 10 mins but then it has worked a few times but said HI? I don’t believe my sugars are that high but I don’t have my other machine with me to check - I’ve been in...

    Sugars rising in evening

    Hey everyone! So my sugars have been rising for seemingly no reason late afternoon and in the evening? They’ll go up before dinner and then again before bed? Can’t work out the reason why, doesn’t seem to correlate with meal/food types etc. Can anybody suggest the reason this might be happening...

    How do rapidly rising blood sugars make you feel?

    I get a weird breathless, rapid heart rate, adrenaline rush type feeling? And always tends to be when I’ve eaten fatty foods and my levels don’t start to rise for hours afterwards!

    Cut foot

    Hi there - I pulled a bit of skin from the heel of my foot which has left a really sore cut/crack. It has bled a few times but hoping it’s healing up. Should I be worried about it? Is there anything I can do to heal it quicker?

    Insulin & metformin

    Hi all - is anybody on metformin and insulin?? I’ve been t1 for 5 years now. I’m 11 stone and have gradually gained a stone over the last couple of years and struggling to lose. Dr has prescribed metformin to use alongside my insulin - has anyone used this before together and does it aid weight...
