I'm not particularly trying to put on weight, well possibly on my ribs (i put more weight on my legs) but I've had so so much to eat, and I definitley should have put on near a stone the amount I've had! (I've been binging on chocolate D:) Well I was wondering, why have I stayed the same...

Hey Erin, I'm 18, have had diabetes since I was about your age :) It's hard when you're young, as I'm sure you know.. I guess it's hard when you're older too, but I just try to remember everything people say about the importance of keeping in control. By the way, I like your dogs! I have...

Hi there, I've been diabetic for 8 years since I was 10 and I understand it creates a lot of strain on your body. It's not possible for a diabetic to have perfect control 24/7, but will every diabetics life span be reduced? Or do a lot life a long life like a normal person would? Sorry if...

When I said I was worrying when its over 10 i meant incase I dropped too low :P sorry, misunderstanding!

You're at work, college, school etc testing your sugar levels and then they tell you to "put your phone away!" In front of everyone haha happened to me again last week! What do you find embarrassing about diabetic related things? Complete the title.. :)

Hey all, Only recently started going in the gym, and I always have trouble knowing what to eat before I go in? Some days I'm 4 ish pre gym, so I eat a yorkie bar, but then i have to do extra work to burn it off which is frustrating! If I don't eat anything (if im above 10) then I worry about...

Wooo :D thats great well done!

I said 2, I find it so hard to get the HBA1C in the right zone

I was thinking about asking someone about retaking, but I don't remember much of the subject now so it wouldn't be worth it :/

Hey all, Just wanted to post this topic, kind of as a warning to people taking exams with a little story! Last year I was taking my AS level exams.. I hadn't been getting on well with one of my subjects (sociology!) But because of my determination to pass I tried my hardest, and toward the end...

Thanks Bob :) I think I will send an email.. It's easy to do and very casual, so thank you!

Thank you, thats really usefull! water always seems so unattractive when you're hungry, but I will definitley give it a go :)

I guess it's still early days, I've had diabetes for 8 years or so, and I've only recently started getting this food craving.. that I have taken note of anyway!

Thundercat, I have very varied results at the moment, when you are high is that when you're more likely to crave food, or is it the other way around? I would love to be able to control this!

Maybe not binge eating as such, but craving food so much its becoming hard to resist.. does anyone get this? I've heard many places diabetics do tend to binge eat, why is this? And how can I avoid it, because I don't want to start putting on weight Thank you

Ahh yeah, that is a point, I hadn't even considered that, thanks

I always seem to have chapped lips no matter what. I put lip balm on day and night and i have the same problem whatever time of year. So I was wondering, is diabetes related to chapped lips at all? If so, what can i do about it, and does anyone else on here get it? Thanks x

Thank you for the answers :) I was thinking about writing a letter, but I wasn't sure what to write in it.. Im really bad at telling people I'm diabetic, even writing a letter sounds daunting

Hi there, I understand what you mean, it can really get you down having diabetes but for the best way to live, and to make diabetes better in the long run, its important to have will power.. i heard diabetics are more likely to binge eat, i do it sometimes too and its so hard to stop yourself...
