Hi, Thankyou so much for your post! I read your link with diagnosis and 4 month follow up and I shall continue to check up on you. You are a very strong person!!! Thankyou again for allowing me to do that. What a journey! I totally understand that wake up call in the middle of the night when...

It was very late when I typed on my phone so sorry I meant the other condition, not type one diabetes, but I see now that it wasn’t clear at all, so sorry about that. [emoji4]

Thankyou[emoji4] I’ve never been a smoker ... so your post gives me some hope that things can improve by giving up smoking perhaps better diabetes control would improve it too[emoji120] although that is the hardest part. We’ll know the final diagnosis soon and I’ll keep you posted. The problem...

Thankyou [emoji4]much appreciated

That’s such a shame, yes message me with all the details and I’ll sort it out when I come back to Newcastle at the end of the month. Thankyou very much. I allo asked when living in UK if I or others could talk to the younger diabetics in evening sessions about the Riss and the complications as...

Hi all, I’m a type one for just over 30 years. Diagnosis age 18. I wondered how many, if any of you had been diagnosed with this and if, hopefully, you have been cured or if you have been able to alleviate the symptoms using medication or diet or both. I haven’t been diagnosed but I just...

Wow! Well you will have to let me know how to purchase it ... I will be going home to Newcastle at the end of the month so perhaps I could find it in a bookshop or actually in the hospital itself? That’s quite a journey you’ve had and a very honorable thing to have done.. I wish you well with...

Well now you have attached twice [emoji23]

Hi Rab, I would highly recommend Nokia body wi fi scales. You can buy it on Amazon. It does weight, body fat, muscle, water, bone density, BMI. You can easily programme it for all members of your family so that when each step on they are able to track their progress using a cell phone app...

Oh my God!!! And they let these people out to run a business??? ... is there no training involved when you open up an activity dealing with food? The authorities concerned with granting licenses give them to people with this amount of ignorance??? This is dangerous ... a person who has no...

By the way we were at my son’s swimming competition last Saturday and in front of us was a family talking to their son, also competitive and roughly the same age as my son ... their son is Coeliac so obviously on hearing they were talking about the gluten free food for him my ears pricked up and...

By the way what book were you reading? I’m intrigued

Thank you [emoji4] I wish you and your family all the best ☘️☘️☘️

I know exactly how you feel! Sometimes I’m the perfect diabetic and blood sugars are terrible whereas other times without even trying they are perfect... what annoys me most is when people who know nothing whatsoever about diabetes then say you have to have done something and all you have done...

Hi I’m totally shocked that as a T1 you do not have a diabetic consultant and team at a hospital. You definitely need to get referred .. a general practitioner knows nothing about diabetes .. they probably spent a couple of hours on it in med school... and things are changing all the time in the...

Hi, I’m on a pump and your story is my life too.. two days are never the same... there is no logic I can see behind it. Today I woke up hypo then hit 18 even though I had insulin with a 25g carb breakfast!!! By lunchtime ( I never snack mid morning - even though I’m always told I must) I was...

Hi all, I was diagnosed type 1 when I was 18, I was fortunate to be able to have one child who unfortunately was diagnosed Coeliac when he was 6. I had been diagnosed as Coeliac when he was 2. He has been getting checked for diabetes antibodies in the Trialnet study since his first birthday...

Sorry I’ve just read your reply to someone else above as I said I’m partially sighted [emoji6]

Hi I was diagnosed type one in my first year at uni, I graduated and did an M.A. without any disability grant to buy all this technological stuff.. and to be honest although I’m quite happy that you have received something to make studying easier it seems more like equipment for a dyslexic...

Yes it counts! I love the Northumberland coast, in fact even though I live in Italy I come home every year and spend my summer holidays on the beaches and visiting the castles, especially Alnwick which my son loves.. Northumberland is a really beautiful place, so I am not in the least surprised...
