He can relate to 'hidden' conditions though, he himself has epilepsy and I've lost count of what I've done for him after he's had a fit, I've also helped him a lot when he's ended up with self inflicted injuries (drunk and fell and hurt his hand) I tied his shoes, helped him put his t-shirt on...

Sorry but from personal experience I'd suggest you maybe both get your eyes looked at, I was extremely unlucky to be diagnosed with diabetic macular oedema a few weeks after I was diagnosed type 1 and I required urgent eyelea treatment to stop it progressing (eye injections) o was booked in for...

Me as I was doing my own xx

I've never left it 24 hours to bed in before activating either its just apply and activate for me too but what I replied to was the person stating applying it a day early would give you a day less when it wouldn't xx

it only starts the 14 day countdown after activating it not when you apply it so you wouldn't be wasting a day at all

I've been looking after his cat after he needed a tail amputation and he hasn't bothered to look after him by staying in at all, he knew about it an hour after the event, I suffer really badly with hypo hangovers and they can last 2 days and I know I'm not alone there so you are one of the lucky...

Just be there for me and take the strain off having to look after his cat (which I've done for 5 weeks now) when I wasn't feeling the greatest myself

yes he has been at appointments and was with me at my review last month, he's also been to my regular eye appointments etc, unfortunately there isn't a DAFNE course where I am xx

I'm having a tough time at the minute and I saw a post about how helpful people's partners were for them Last week I woke up hypo and my partner was at work, I felt **** physically and emotionally the rest of the day made worse by him coming home, having his tea and then going out to the pub...

6.0 last night 4.4 at 6:05, 4.6 at 6:55 Looks like I should've had that Rich Tea biccie before bed :rolleyes: xx

I wouldn't link them, could just be as simple as you've been lying awkwardly on it, I woke with things like that long before I became type 1, I'd give it a few days then go and see about it if its no better unless your unable to put any weight on it in which case you could pop to your local a&e...

I prick with a different meter when bolusing xx

have to say my app has been much closer since I updated it on Wednesday, furthest it's been out to a finger prick since updating is 0.8mmol usually only 0.1-0.2mmol since the update and that's on a sensor over a week old xx

As mentioned above if you have a phone with NFC capabilities you could just use a phone, if iPhone it only works with iPhone 7 and above and think the android requirements are Lollipop OS and higher, yes you will need sensors and some don't need anything, personally when I got mine I was in and...

It's not just your age that's being cut off from testing strips, my mother in law had hers stopped on prescription last year as she isn't on hypo causing medication either xx

Have you been to the opticians? I had similar symptoms and I don't want to worry you but I was diagnosed with Diabetic Macular Oedema, when looking at bright things with LED (say a digital clock with brighter numbers) do the numbers look dulled at all? that's what I had as well as a few of the...
