Thank u guys so much!!! X

Aw thank u so much everyone for ur advice and support! Just a bad few days after being ground down but you are so right that things could b much worse!

Hi Guys So sorry for being a whinge but today I think I have finally reached burnout. I am so sick of diabetes. Every single part of it is exhausting and I dont feel like I can be bothered anymore. Have not stopped crying all day as all I can think of is, this is my life. Forever. Ive had this...

I have a younger brother who is not affected. So far im the only one in my family tree!

I hate this weather. Cant relax enough to sleep because im not convinced enough a hypo wont happen unpredictably. Bring back the cold lol

Ive just started jogging and you are so right! Ive been testing bloods regularly but its such a pain!

Oh thats very interesting!!! I suppose it could be intimidating dealing with people who live with it and will potentially disagree with you!

Hey guys. Thank you for your responses. Had to cancel the appt as I caught the dreaded stomach bug [emoji21] very unwell!

Hi Jaylee I feel silly asking! Im 33 and shouldnt feel nervous but for some reason I do!

Hi Guys Do any of you still get a bit apprehensive for your reviews at hosp? I dont know why I do! I feel if my sugars arent perfect that il be judged as a bad diabetic. I try so hard but as you guys know its sometimes an untameable beast!

Wow. Your GP needs educating! Im sure you feel very frustrated. Talk to your Consultant and see if he/she could write to your GP about your diagnosis and treatment. Shocking.

Thank you everyone! Appreciate ur sentiments xxx

Hi Everyone So today is my 6 year diaversary woohoo!! Unfortunately with this flippin heat I am having to set alarms and getting very poor sleep as my sugars are dropping....just reminds me of how rubbish this disease is [emoji21] Today I had planned wee treats for myself but Im exhausted and...

Thanks type1lozzie! Getting mine this week :-)

Hi Racso Im sorry you are having such a tough time. You have a lot going on. Instead of trying to deal with everything at once, break things down into chunks. First thing I would say is to call your diabetic team and arrange an appt soon. Get control again because believe it or not when your...

I certainly feel it every day! Obviously varying degrees and much worse when sugars are a little off but yes definitely you arent alone with the tiredness

Hi chloesnavy. I went through a bad spell of uti's a few years ago and ended up on nitrofurantoin. Its a very effective antibiotic but it is very strong! It will def make you feel tired and it made me feel nauseated so dont fret if that happens.

When I shared an office with my manager (who was a nurse thankfully) and I was in hypo but didnt realise. He offered me a cuppa and custard creams and I told him to stick the custard creams up his (insert profanity here). He realised wat was wrong thankfully. I couldnt understand why I was so...

Hope youre feeling better rebecca!

I would love to but not financially feasible!
