Hopefully they will start very early as it is basic maths- but do have to have a balanced starting point first. Good luck. I was 4 when diagnosed and doing great at 46 - don't know any other way of life

This is my belief.. it is just a vital for someone with type 2 diabetes to do a blood sugar as a type 1. With type 2 there are many causes and people can start with one and things can change and they can have a second cause also. without blood tests we do not know of changes. Body weight...

it is recognised that insulin can make some people put on weight especially certain types of human insulin. It is a recognised side effect- so the more insulin you take the more weight you will store. I have just changed back onto pig insulin and without making any other changes have started...

There is no reason for him to miss out on anything. If you calculate the carbs in the cake you can work out how much to increase the insulin by to cover it. makes a child very good at maths as we used to tell our parents to give a 32th of the cake etc. It is a question of balance and having...

I buy it in asda. I like it

I have been diabetic since I was 3 and so have never seen it as a problem and it has never stopped me doing anything. If anyone saw it in a different way then I would not want them as a friend or a partner. Education of people is important as there are so many myths and false information. Also...

an Hba1c loos t an overall picture so if you have high sugars balanced with low good sugars then your hbaic would indeed be normal. When I was diagnosed it only showed at 11 am in the morning and the doctors told my mother she was mad. try following a low carb diet as recommended above and test...

I was told and read 2.5 was the diagnostic for a hypo as opposed to a low blood sugar. My cousin just died from a hypo so 3.5 is too low in my book.

the vibe is great and is waterproof also and has the cgm facility if ever needed.

I would speak to them about the battery life- you shouldn't change it for the sake of it as this is a cost to the health service and people's taxes. They also use the amount of time you change it as part of the diagnostic and have instructed me with mine to only change when battery low shows...

ask your dsn for the loan of a cgm for a few days- sounds ike just what you need or ask for a pump because it is so erratic.

How are you doing now?

maybe try asking if he will take full responsibility for your health and could you have his medical number etc so that if you health deteriorates you know who to sue?

I am also type 1 and take metformin. it is used for insulin resistance which often is the cause of type 2 diabetes. However people who are type one can also suffer from this , the difference is we have resistance to the insulin we are injecting. I am now on a pump and it reduces my insulin...

when we have chickenpox it leaves markers/virus in our system. When we are run down - which can be connected with stress it can reactivate as shingles. My mother had chicken pox when pregnant with my sister and so the markers were left in my sister even though she did not have it herself...

sorry to hear but good luck for the future

I have the vibe and love it- it is water proof so better control as dont need to disconnect

you could take a syringe to draw it out of the pen but if it smashed you would be stuck. it is not the end of the world for it to be the wrong temp for a short while so a frio pen makes it ok and just use it when home. If bs start to go up before it is finished then throw it away. I have never...

Hi Beki, I don't know if I missed it but how old is your daughter? I was 3 when I was diagnosed and probably one of the best things I did was attend a diabetic childrens holiday camp. As an adult I have twice worked on them - they teach kids everything they need to know to feel more in control...

it is logical that periods would affect you bg levels due to the concentration of insulin in the blood and laso the hormone levels which effect insulin resistance and also put your glucose up or down etc. am type one but am struggling to control my sugar levels and working with the hospital to...
