I was bullied at school by pupils and had unjustifiable beatings from a large teacher when I was at school. Think this was my cause. About a year of this and I became type 1. I was 13 at the time. 50 years ago. Eventually my parents went to see headmaster, the teacher then stopped giving me...

they might even appriciate the fact that you were honest with them when you tell them about the holiday. Good luck and best wishes hope you get the job.

Don't feel too hard on yourself we all make mistakes. I have done that one.

when i was on 2 injections of Levimer it used to happen to me also. I found that the solution was to inject my before breakfast(bolus) dose about 22 minutes before the food. This allowed my bolus to take up some of the short fall. I was carefull in doing this as I only increased the time by a...

like others have said usually 9 sometimes 10. On MDI for 50yrs

I am not a pumper yet (soon maybe) If the insulin is out of the fridge for a day or so it will adjust to room temp. But probably the insulin in the pump will be warmer due to it being next to your body heat and motor in pump

I also have been not good the few years. So I went on a DAFNE course which was very good and helped me get better control. If your control is better you feel better. But think you are being too rigid with your levels. A year ago due to Hba of 48 my Gp suggested I raise my levels, which i did...

A man I used to work with noticed that when his type 1 wife had good blood sugars so did I. Also when she was bad so was I. He was strongly convinced it was more than just co-incident. just looking at most of the above MOST seem quite good and so is mine. Wonder if he was right in his...

just a thought but I have found that when withdrawing the pen, withdraw slowly out of the skin. By doing this it allows the skin that is tight on the needle to seal around the point of the needle as the last bit is coming out

i am not on a pump but MDI. However a few months ago I was put on 200 strengh Humalog pens. No matter how much I try i cannot get rid of bubbles. I can get most out but not all and by the end of the day more have appeared. I wonder if it is caused by slight changes in temperature throughout...

I have a libre but stopped using it due to inacuracies. I would pay but would expect it to be bettter. It is usually 2.5 %out to my bolus expert meter. They did replace me one but was difficult to get. First 7 day's is better with last 4 day's not good at all. Though if i get a pump I will give...

A lot to take in. I have been told some good news but will have to wait and see at the moment.

yes thanks for that, but at the moment this one is a lot to take in. I do not have a pump at the moment but is now quite likely

yes I have recently bought the pumping Insulin book. Though on MDI at the moment. Good book and a lot to digest.

yes how wrong of him. I have been type 1 for 50 yrs and my wife has never said bad things to me. I have in the past done strange things even rejecting help when I was hypo. I think we change our hypo reactions as the years pass. Now i am no trouble to anyone, just take my orange juice or gluco...

yes I agree with Catapillar. I find if my sugar is high I do not have much energy, this is because it is insulin that allows the sugar to transport into the muscles fo give us energy. I find it better to take a few tablets of glucose just before staring and top up with glucose during the...

i don't know about anyone else but I alway's carry a meter with me when out of the house. I find it re-assurance. Just to have it with me in case I suspect I may be going low. If driving I always test my blood and stop regularly to do so. I am trying to avoid going low even after 50 yrs. but it...

Yes I sometimes go off. I can be very very good levels for about 3 weeks and then it goes up or down. This needs adjustment to basal usually, but because I am on very long acting it takes 3 day's to see the result of a dose change. Then often have to do it again, sometimes again. I have been not...

yes sorry i alway's do this
