Hi As a Type 1 (3.5 yrs) I am prone to DKA when ill, it’s pretty awful I can understand your reluctance to repeat the episode. Just a suggestion for you. How about full fat yogurt and a few berries for breakfast as you are allergic to eggs. A salad for lunch or soup that’s low carb there are a...

Hi I don’t drink coffee but can tolerate a small amount of honey to sweeten recipes/drinks and have just discovered agave which seems to have little effect on me and tastes lovely. Sorry not to have specifically answered your question but hope it’s useful info!

Thanks Will let you know Otherwise will be trying the Omnipod

Hi I was diagnosed 3.5 years ago, the help was a disaster and I ended up changing GP and eventually the local hospital reported them for lack of care. Long story short I ended up hospitalised with DKA, it could have been avoided. Different areas sound like they follow different procedures so I...

That’s interesting, I started on 4mm but had so much trouble with going hyper or hypo they quickly tried 6mm and there was a big improvement (3yrs ago) but the last few months I am bruising terribly and getting red lumps. I have recently got microdot silicon coated needles as my nurse thinks it...

Thank you, I am having huge problems with red lumps after injecting. Sometimes insulin works, sometimes it seems not to. Omnipod is probably worth a try, but I like to be aware of any potential problems! Thanks for sharing.

Do you mind me asking why you didn’t get on with the Omnipod I am trying to find out as much as possible as my DN suggesting a pump.Thanks

My reviews have continued over the phone and a zoom. Much better than sitting in a waiting room. Also recently had my eye check and HbA1c In East Herts

Maybe ask your doctor about dropping the one metformin tablet a day? Sounds like you are controlling your diabetes by exercise and diet? My diabetic nurse told me metformin inhibits the release of glucose from the liver (I was having a lot of hypos a few years back) just googled it and seems to...

Hi Even before developing type 1 diabetes 3.5 years ago I have always reacted very badly to plasters or any kind of adhesive, almost like it’s burnt my skin. I have had a few operations and every time had a cannula that had to be moved due to swelling around the cannula and a nasty rash under...

Try the ‘scone’ recipe I posted or the ‘muffins’ are really quick and easy. Closest thing I eat to scone or cake.

The dark chocolate hot cross bun is from this site, the other 2 are my own adapted recipes to suit me.

I also made the dark choc chip low carb hot cross bun from this site Came out great and delicious Have a look in the recipes I cannot eat anything with wheat flour but a small bag of coconut flour goes a long way and is a great substitute which means you can bake more

I have a fan oven and usually takes 25 minutes in a Bundt tin, longer in a loaf tin at 160 degrees

Hello This recipe I adapted from something similar and have made for the last 3 years. Even my non diabetic friends like it, obviously not cake though but they like it and it’s low carb. I refer to this as my ‘scone’ recipe oven 160 degrees 200g ground almonds 3 tablespoons coconut flour 1 tsp...

Hi I agree you need GAD antibody testing, email the GP. It’s in writing they can’t ignore it. I had a similar situation with my previous GP, ended up in hospital with DKA, changed to a different GP where you can email in and have no problem getting an appointment whenever ill and needing...
