@Jaylee you're a stronger person than me to be declining all the doughnuts and beer. I may be able to resist food temptations most of the time (or just limit it to one mouthful) [emoji5] but the beer would win me over I think!!

@samantha13 I sent you a message [emoji3] xx

Hi Everyone [emoji3] Just wanted to write an open post for anyone who may need diabetic ear to share their problems. Anyway.. I'm Daisy, I'm 25, I'm an account manager for a food company (the temptations are absurd, I'm talking free cakes 24/7) and I've had type 1 diabetes for 18 years. 6...

Hello [emoji3] I haven't read the whole thread but I've been using a freestyle for about three months now (best thing I've ever done. My HBA1c has really improved and I now feel like I am in control of my Diabetes for the first time in 18 years ) I had a few of these errors a few weeks ago, and...

Thank you all for your help and interesting information [emoji3][emoji3] My feet are healthy so I'll look forward to a careful pedicure if DSN says it's ok [emoji3] I use Clinique everything day to day. I also try every beauty product going.. my partner thinks I'm crazy when I've got some of...

Merry Christmas and Happy new year everyone [emoji173]️ A friend bought me some lovely beauty products for Christmas and she asked me if they would affect my blood sugars. I've never really thought about it to be honest, so wanted to get some opinions. Are there any products to avoid? I'm...

@wolfie11969 I live in wombourne! And @peterjones6000 my partners parents live in hednesford and I work in Cannock! Small world [emoji3]

@NorthernPrincess great tip with the testing of drinks, I am often convinced I haven't got a sugar free version but normally have to get everyone to have a taste!

Hi @milli I've been on novorapid for about 15 years, and recently I have noticed that I'm having a very similar problem. Large spikes after meals that don't seem to come down. I asked my consultant whether I was becoming resistant or something, but their advice was to get a fresh batch and...

Hi! I'm Daisy [emoji3] West Midlands

I'm just off to bed. Will give you a message tomorrow. Go to bed thinking that tomorrow is a new day, every day will be different but we have to stay positive and take each day as it comes. It's taken me years to actually accept my diabetes, we could have much worse health conditions, you're not...

Hi @emilykarenzzaa04 I have had type 1 for 18 years, and only a few months ago I decided to take control of my diabetes. I understand how you feel, and I was feeling the frustration of the same talks over and over again at the hospital but I recently found an amazing consultant and it has...

Hi @katiesarah_ I'm 25 and had type 1 diabetes for 18 years, i still don't know anyone with diabetes!! I wish something like this was around when I was in my teens. I'm sure you will find lots of friends on here, and you can message me anytime for support [emoji4] x

@himtoo the exciting lives of diabetics!!

Thanks all. @himtoo @mahola @noblehead Phewwww I feel like I have permission now. Obviously within moderation, but I shall try a few variations and see how it affects me. Not into sweet drinks anyway, 17 years of sugar free pop and unsweetened tea and coffee means I can't stand the taste of...

@brighty14 So Inspirational to read. Well done! And good luck!

Hi everyone, What is everyone's view on alcohol and diabetes? Is it a complete no go? Are some drinks a lot worse than others? I rarely drink, and when I do I stick to a spirit with a diet mixer but I love a glass of wine :(

WOW @ScottyD ! What an inspirational story, thank you for sharing with me. You really have made me feel stronger, what you have done feels like conquered the impossible so I'm sure I can stand my ground and work my way through my slight dilemma. Much respect to you :)

Hello @Maddileigh I have just got myself a free style libre. It costs money, but it's been worth it for me. I'm not pregnant but trying to reduce my hba1c. It means you can track your blood glucose levels 24 hours a day! Not sure if you can use whilst pregnant? Your doctor sounds ridiculously...

@gemma-lee Hi Gemma, I am really sorry to hear you are feeling so low. I have been through this, I still go through this. I have been diabetic since I was very young and I'm 25 now and only just accepting it and getting my health on track. I feel like I've changed as a person now, but I much...
