Hi Turner90. I believe you need a letter from your doc to say youre well controlled. Unfortunately its likely the condition will be an issue. I applied a few years back and it was a factor. Their reasoning quite rightly being if, for example, there was a riot you may not get to your medication...

Hi t1reid. I am also from belfast. If you ask your clinic they may be able to give you some samples of the libre. Also have you registered with the dafne course? I know the royal and city hosp run this every few months!

Hi Snapsy. Thanks for this!! Do you find swimming an easier exercise to manage than others with regards your dawn phenomenon?

Hi Donnellysdogs. Thanks for this. Just needed some guidance around when to inject. I think il begin with a correction dose, do the exercise, tjen breakfast and breakfast insulin. Pain in the a*se!! Lol

So you correct before exercise and then closely monitor? Thsts wat I suspected I will need to do!!!

Hi Guys I suffer the dawn phenomenon and cant quite work out if I can exercise in the morning? How do you guys manage this? Do you have breakfast, inject then exercise? Or do you inject before with trial and error with how much to inject? Sorry for all the questions, any advice is welcome!

Hi guys. Today my A1c came back at 9.2. Its up from 7.1! Ive been struggling with overnight readings and dawn phenomenon but felt I was doing ok. I really try with carb counting and feel so disappointed that my reading was this high. My basal has been changed and im on a much better diet but...

Hi Colsey_ Are your diabetic team any support to you? Im assuming youve done all the basal testing etc? Sounds frightening. Hope you are coping ok x

Hi Tim2000 Thanks so much for this!!!

Mariom not to sound horrible but basing your future on how someones illness affects their sexual function is not healthy. What if you go through menopause and lose your libido? The whole point of marriage is to be there through thick and thin and personally speaking if my partner was asking...

Hi Simon. Thanks so much for this! Its all so much information sometimes!

Hi Tim2000s Thanks so much for this! I was previously on levemir but it was running out after 20 hrs so I was put on toujeo as a trial. I was interested to see if split dose works but still not convinced!

Hi All I am on toujeo which is good but because its 30+ hrs, when I need to make an adjustment it takes days for the adjustment to take effect. My consultant has suggested split dose levemir with injections in the evening and morning. For any of you who are doing this, is levemir a good choice...

Thanks guys. All makes much sense! Ive lost 2 stone over 18 months and have another stone to go but it is sooo much slower. I do a good amount of walking and cut out nearl all junk food, no takeaways etc. Im probably just being impatient lol!

Hi guys Ive been working very hard to lose weight and it is coming off...but very slowly! Does anyone know if being insulin dependent affects the rate of weight loss? In no way am I trying to blame diabetes because honestly thats what my doc does! Im just more interested as someone suggested...

Hi chloesnavy and ellskbells. I know this may not be helpful but....a few years ago I went through all youre going through now. Antibiotic after antibiotic etc. Docs wouldnt listen so I made a private referral. Turns out my urethra was too narrow and this is why I kept feeling the pressure but...
