    My heart goes out too you. And at times life throws curve balls and a bit of comfort eating short term if it helps for a moment I'd say don't stress about it too much. Try jump on to your health when you have the energy. Look after yourself an take it one day at a time. X

    Type 1: Sore finger tips - not taking insulin

    It is total abuse really isn't it if you take away the emotions and feelings and leave just the action. Starving my body of what it needs to function. I feel a bit sick about it. I'm very confused. Also I'm not working at present so eating low carb isn't always an option. And that insulin...

    Type 1: Sore finger tips - not taking insulin

    Thank you for the support. I have been doing it on sides of fingers etc but it still hurts. Until nz gets cgm funding I suspect I'll be a low bs tester ... I think I could commit to 3 a day for the most part. Funnily enough whenever my dn does it it doesn't hurt. Someone suggested a child...

    Oh we don't get the one you can have in your arm for 14 days and swipe something over it for bs reading if that's what you mean. It's not funded here yet. Is that what you meant. I have the freestyle ketone one
