I do alot of cycling aswell. I have found lately I don't take slow acting on a morning and I don't take insulin with my breakfast. I eat say 3 slices of toast or some cereal before heading out and keep checking bloods every hour. I eat carbs and take on energy shots. I also eat a jelly baby...

Stay home id say. I would if I didn't have to work and I'm only 35 Anyone over 70 is recommended to stay home but then with your conditions I'd just stay home. Have you got any friends or family available to drop deliveries off for you? Try and search the local hub for covid19 where you can...

No different by the looks of it. Just more susceptible to further complications but mainly if you don't have bloods under control I may be wrong but Iv been a little worried about it and that's what Iv found to be the most common thing said. There hasn't been too much data put out about...

Sure this list is the list of people who should be contacted as they are a serious risk. There is another list with everyone else on it

My hobbies are going to every Sunderland game and also cycling. In the summer I tend to be out every night and every weekend

You'd be surprised how much work I do for elderly people. They generally want baths ripped out and showers put in.. Kids would have been at school so bookings would have been made but thankfully Iv not got jobs for either till May I agree on the fact its not social so that's why I'd work. Il...

It's not at all.. I was looking up on this today. No runny nose or diarrhea generally so it's pointless buying so much

This has been my main worry. I am a self employed bathroom fitter. Iv seen reports of vulnerable like us hiding away for 12 weeks but that just isn't going to happen. Iv said if the government gave grants out of maybe £5k then I would be able to hide no problem at all for 12 weeks but less than...

Iv read up about it been 12 weeks recommended but Iv literally no chance of doing that. I just couldn't afford to. I'm type 1 and am a little worried at times but then not. I work for myself as a bathroom fitter. At the moment it's just about asking the customer if they are OK for me to work...

Iv just changed my first one today after starting 2 weeks ago on the libre. The nurse talked me through putting it on making sure I knew what to do. In 2 weeks I have really begun to learn what my bloods do and how things effect it like work, drinking, cycling, football and just chilling out...

6.8 for me. Very steady through the night which is good to see. Becoming a trend it staying as it should, it all depends on what time I eat at night

I tend to always eat something like toast or crumpets before going out on the bike. I don't have any insulin with this meal and I always take jelly babies, cereal bars and gels with me. I tend to stop every 15 miles or hour for 5 minutes and have a little snack I haven't had issues whilst out...

My hba1c was 75 in November when I went onto the Dafne course and has come down to 59 since then. Happy it has gone down as it shows I'm doing things better thankfully

It could be this. I'm still on metformin but hadn't taken it for a while and have just recently got back to taking it as I should. Went through a patch where I just forgot about it and didn't order it Thanks for the other replies. I agree it can be easy to put everything down to diabetes...

Iv lately really started to get itchy skin all over. It sometimes feels worsw than other times but when its bad I just can't stop itching. I just wondered if anyone with type 1 had experienced anything like this and it was normal? I don't want to have to go to the docs when I don't have to. Iv...

Very normal. Back in October when I had the flu I was lucky if my bloods were lower than 20 for about a week

Personally never had issues with taking metformin and drinking. I'm not a drinker who drinks all the time. It might be once a month or once a week. I drink at the footy, home games I usually have 2-4 drinks. Away games I can be out for 18 hours drinking constantly so about 15-20 drinks. Is...

Changes every day really. Always when I get up and before bed. Always before meals I also check when I feel I don't feel too well. Days like yesterday I was drinking all day so checked a little more Going to ask for the Libre when I next have an appointment to make it easier

I'm similar. I don't eat breakfast when I'm working as I can't think of anything worse than eating when tired. When I'm off I wake up naturally and tend to have toast or cereal for breakfast I only started taking insulin last month but have found taking 7 units of basal on a night and then 6...

Morning dose going by what you say. If you are high on an afternoon the insulin is obviously tailing off so you would more than likely need a bit more Iv just reduced mine to stop hypos during the day at work
