Congrats @MrDieselx I'm so pleased to hear you're doing so well :) I'm starting a low carb program today, fingers crossed!

Hi, I have recently taken control of my diabetes, but at the same time I am trying to get fit & loose weight! I will be going to the gym tomorrow & this will be the first time I have been whilst have stable sugar levels. I'm really anxious as I'm worried that I'll go in with good levels & go...

Hi @Miriamenily I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time at the moment. You'll get plenty of advice, help & support here I promise you :) Just like you I have gone years of not having any control & not really taking care of myself. You've done the hardest part by taking a look...

Hi @Vedika I've been having the exact same issue recently. I've been able to get an average of about 7ish before bed but then when I wake up I'm between 16 & 18, I was even as high as 23 today. I've decided to split my Levemir today, (half in the morning & half in the evening) to see if it was...

Haha yeah that one is my favourite @Robinredbreast :-)

This made me chuckle so thought I'd share it with you all :) x

Hi @VP83 there seems to be a few of these sneaky little bumps in the road that will throw things out every now & again! But you're obviously doing really well to see it getting better each month :-) The book sounds good, I might get a copy x

Thanks x

I can't help but share the following with you all.. .. .. .. My my reading right now is 5.4 .. .. .. :D I have been carb counting everything today & it has made a HUGE difference!! Thank you all so much for your help, advice & encouragement. I have a long way to go, but I am feeling so positive...

Hi @ljmc I'm sorry to hear about your experience! That must have been terrifying & so frustrating too!! I had a DKA when I was about 19 & it was the most horrific experience of my life. I was in a coma & it was so bad my parents were called to my bedside to say goodbye as the doctors didn't...

I'm always surprised at how many people ask if I still have diabetes! Also I hate when someone says 'you can't eat that' :mad: Always sends me off into a rant about the fact I can eat anything they can eat, only difference is I give my own insulin manually. :)

100% agree with you there @Celsus a huge congrats to @Amy.W you've done so well :) Wow @RuthW that is a very strong approach. As tempted as I am at times to be like that I'm not one for confrontation lol. But I have made an appointment with a new diabetes nurse at my local GP. I'm looking...

Hi all, does anyone have any tattoos on their injection site? I want my next piece on my thigh but apprehensive as I don't want injections to effect it & vice versa :-) x

Well it's lovely to meet you @Jaylee :-)

Thanks @azure I can see a difference already. I'm averaging around 10-15 at the moment, this time last week it was a roller coaster with average of about 18 :( Just taking it step by step & it's proving successful so far, thanks to everyone here :)

Good morning @slayer I hope is going well for you! I am also on the rocky road of trying to improve my levels so I can start a family. I tried to convince myself that I didn't want a baby as I thought it would never happen for me. But the truth is I do & I have never wanted anything more. So as...

Here you go, here is one of mine & this is my fav one :)
