Hi All On sunday my fiance had to inject me with glucagon. I was unconscious and bless him he correctly checked my sugars and rectified the situation. Its been pretty scary but for any of you who have experienced this, did you still feel rough a few days later? I feel utterly shattered still...

Hi Ebony2102 im on toujeo. Been on it a year now!

Thanks so much christine18! Also lovely to hear from someone whos had it that long and still healthy :-)

Hi faujidoc1! How is your daughter feeling? Coping ok? Hope she recovers well! You have posed an interesting theory but maybe this is me being stupid (apologies) but what are actionable carbs? X

Thanks Geoff! Definitely will as thyroid runs in my family so will push a wee bit harder just in case!

Hey ANDuncan. I dont think you can get any benefits for just being type 1. Its all to do with the complications and thats not something you want to have! Can I ask if you are receiving support from your diabetic team? If you are so uncontrolled that its affecting your day to day life then you...

Lol thats ok! Some days feel like a few years have been added lol x

Hi donnellysdogs. Its not something I do but a friend of mine sets his alarm for 5am so he can take novoravid for his dp. Seems such a pain! Do your sugars rise a lot if you dont do your 4am?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Rosedreams! Your words mean a great deal! Ive had all the blood tests and all ok. Ive been exercising, eating well and with good control aside from the hot weather bringing some hypos. I have done the Bertie course, my own research, taken supplements etc but...

Hi EllsKBells Definitely reached burn out but only because I am so frustrated with the tiredness!! My levels are fine and theres nothing underlying so its really difficult hearing others say it can't possibly be diabetes when Ive been told it is and honestly now I just feel worse!

Well now i feel rather disheartened. Thanks for your honesty though guys xx

Hi Everyone, A little confused by differing opinions on tiredness for type 1s. I am very tired a lot. I have no underlying conditions and no deficiencies and sleep and eat fine. My sugars are largely under control aside from the odd blip or really hot weather like we have just had. My DSN has...

Good luck Rezvan97!! I always got super nervous over exams too so i can empathise. If u feel overwhelmed before, just go to the bathrooms and take a few deep breaths. Remember, nowadays you can go to uni at any age so dont put so much pressure on yourself. Im sure you will do great! Let us know...

Not coeliac but very intolerant and lactose intolerant too.... fun!

Thanks so much tim2000s!!! Both articles very helpful [emoji4] loved the Einstein quote and very true! X

Thanks so much Juicyj! Ive recently started running. Im not great at it yet but at least im off the sofa [emoji4] and hoping to start a HR course to change careers so onwards and upwards!x

Thanks Scott c! As time has gone on I find myself more resentful and keep pushing myself to do things that Im probably just not ready to do yet so need to quit doing that! Recently all i can think of is..... this is my life forever.. (f### sake!)

And I think thats my problem juicyj! I cannot stop focusing on numbers and whats goin to happen in my future if i dont fix it now!

Hey himtoo! Yes it makes perfect sense! I guess I havent necessarily been paying attention to how i feel as such (other than this is ****!) Ive just been focussed on a1c and blood sugar levels etc!

Hi guys. I posted earlier in the week about having a bad time with diabetes. Essentially throwing my toys out of the pram (ooops!!). I had a good long chat with my counsellor and he has suggested i may not have actually accepted the diagnosis and im stressing myself out trying to do things that...
