It was the diabetic nurse that told me, I start going high when my foot touches the floor in a morning, I don’t correct because I walk for an hour which brings my levels down, I only take my tresiba when I wake up. I go on the Dafne course next week, not sure if the nurses adjust our insulin...

1 unit for 10g of carbs yes

When I read this I’m unsure what to think, I understand I was in dka in 2022, I’ve always managed my diabetes ( was diagnosed as type 2 in 2018) quite well until I slipped off the low carb and was put on jardiance, then came the dka, my own fault for low carbing at same time. Was they quick to...

I eat yogurt everyday, it’s my main source of food these day thank you for the reply ❤️ I bought it over the counter instead of going to the doctor, but wanted to check here before I use it. I used it years ago before diagnosis so just wanted to check x

I was diagnosed as type 2 in 2018, I latched onto it and got my life in order, lost weight and became obsessed with having good management. Then in April 2022 I was taken to hospital with good blood sugars but massively unwell. DKA had got me, turns out I’m type 1.5 and I’m still producing a...

After my antibiotics that I finished today I now have a mild thrush, I just want to know if it’s safe to use Canesten cream as a type 1. Thanks

The nurse has contacted me and had a good chat, Dafne course booked for December so I’m so glad to be going on that so I can get as much information as possible ❤️

Thank you so much

Hi guys, as of writing this my bloods are 21.4 and my ketones are 0.4. I’ve got a chest infection and I’m not on steroids just amoxicillin, I’m starting to panic and get scared because I don’t know what to do or how much insulin to take when I’m poorly. I want to cry so bad right now. Any...

August 2022 think I’m going to ask on my next appointment, no harm in asking I suppose

Has anyone been wrongly diagnosed? Just wondering if I can request another blood test, I’m not in denial by any means but I do remember querying my c peptide because it was more in range of type 2 than 1. Can’t remember what it was will have a search.

I will give that a go thank you, I’m willing to try anything at this point. Sometimes I think are they too quick to point to type 1 because of dka, mine was purely because of the tablet. I’m inclined to ask to be re tested but have a feeling they would say no. I’m due to go on the Dafne course...

Thank you for the reply, I’ve gained 2 stone since diagnosis, it’s so heartbreaking, I lost a lot of weight before I was diagnosed because I went low carb and started exercising, I started at 17 stone in 2018 and got down to 11st 3 I think, a lot of hard work I put in to do that. I took the...

Meant to say I’m on 5.5 tresiba in a morning and take nova rapid with meals 2 units for each meal. 10g of carbs for 1 unit..I also still take metformin

Can anyone please tell me if they actually lost weight on insulin. I feel like I’m on a losing battle, I eat zero carbs a day once I’ve exercised, eat around 60 carbs a day, I don’t want to get to the point of reducing and reducing insulin I’m just not happy with myself and feel so depressed...

Can anyone please tell me if they lost weight on insulin? By the time I’ve exercised I’ve had zero calories, average around 60-70g carbs a day, eat 3 times a day although not much. I’m like a lunatic on a mission and haven’t so much as lot a pound. I’m getting desperate now to the point I’m...

Thank you, definitely need to try and stay calm, it really is easier said than done, the panic takes a hold so bad I wish it wouldn’t.

No I haven’t, not being seeing people who actually want to help lately, I saw a couple Of nice nurses and they were helpful, learning new things each time. then when I’ve been back past couple of times I get someone who would rather I just get out of the room. Booked on a DAFNE course in October...

Hi guys, having the worse day today and feel like I could cry, had the worst hypo ever yesterday then because I over reacted my bloods went all the way to 30 in night.. I’m so upset, tired and groggy today. Honestly I don’t feel like I can live like this. There’s people in the world who have so...

My libre is not alerting me during the night or day, so that’s why I asked for the dexcom to see if it works a bit better. as for asking for the updated technology, or the newer versions, that is the only reason for enquiring, not because I feel I’m entitled I just thought everyone could have...
