I don't have a regular up to date prescription as some meds have not been used for a while but I still use occasionally and other newer drugs have still not been added. I don't drive and am fed up taking a suitcase out instead of a handbag when I just wanna nip to the shops for example or god...

I had 3 kids at home and was waiting for spinal surgery that I should have had 2 years previously according to my surgeon! The next day was spent waiting all day at the hospital for the diabetic team to confirm and show me how to test/inject.

I have other health issues as well and my list of medication is huge so was thinking of something a little more........

I had had some symptoms for about 3 years and didn't know that others actually WERE symptoms! I was only diagnosed because a surgical nurse smelt "pear drops" just before walking me into the theatre! At the time I had a BMI of 24 and was always ragingly thirsty with repetitive thrush and 44...

I don't want a diagnosis! I want help in getting help!!!!!!!!! It shouldn't make any difference what my numbers are to the basic question which was HOW DID OTHER PEOPLE GET THEIR TYPE AT DIAGNOSIS?????

Yeah see normally I'm with people and have my kit with me but I nearly had a bad hypo the other week ans was on my own so it kinda scared me. Thank you

I have been on insulin since the day after I got diagnosed! I have had to change the types of insulin a few months later and my Levemir (long-lasting) has gradually increased since using it over 2 years ago.

Well maybe you could help me find out what my type was instead of just being rude

That's helpful up to a point, thanks. I obviously know I need some kind of bracelet/tag but I am still waiting after 3 years to receive the "welcome pack" I was promised when I joined!

I just need to change my diabetes status but I can't???

Firstly- what is a "honeymoon period"? I am a fully insulin dependent using Novorapid and Levemir pens I keep fairly strict numbers but I do slip up sometimes. I started on Humulin-3 with Metformin but had to stop the Metformin pretty quickly because of stomach issues and me and my nurse talked...

Officially I am diabetic but have no Type. That is one of my biggest bug bears! My avatar was made back in the first few days of diagnosis and have no idea what any of it means! I was pretty clear what my issue is- I am nearly 3 years in after diagnosis I started on Humulin-3 and Metformin the...

WOW! how can any nurse call herself a professional when she takes away an essential part of any diabetic's health regime! I am so much luckier with the nurses at my G.P. they managed to get me 3 types of strips as I have 3 machines ( my first, the upgraded one from the same company and a free...

I have a similar problem-we cannot get type-tested in my health authority so because I'm overweight and over-40 its assumed I'm Type 2 but never been confirmed so I just say insulin dependent too x

I am looking into medical alert bracelets/keyrings, etc. I would love to hear from people who have used the versions that either have a chip or QR style code. I need something that would give a doctor/paramedic the correct and most updated medical information if I am ever not able to myself. I...

Below is the original post I put up. All I wanted to know was how did other people succeed in getting their type confirmed? I'm sorry if I didn't use "Twitter" rules but sometimes things need explaining a little bit- I didn't realise that my whole life story was a requirement of asking a...
