Yeah it came as second nature, the ice cold showers were difficult at first but it instills more disipline I feel like its helped control diabetes better as a whole, wether or not it benefits my blood sugars is anyones guess but it is good for the blood, start off warm and then cold for 2...

Hello, it's great to hear from you :). I am sorry about what happened and going through that..

I went from 56 to 49 in 3 month! So pleased! Cut carbs right down and lowered my portions so I don't spike as much as I used too!

My mum is the same, and I wish it was a skill I inherited. Absolutely nothing wrong with it we are meant to be social, some people snub their nose at it but thats their prerogative, it definitely counts as being friendly in my opinion, it raises most peoples spirits I feel, although i'm not...

That is one thing I forgot about, it also makes you feel good knowing that the other person feels good! Thanks Tayelola

I wholeheartedly agree with this, I say to people all the time who say their illness defines them, I say no, everything else defines you. You're illness is just an inconvenience of life. You own it.

If they look at me like im a wierdo I have to take that as they are completely oblivious to what a friendly smile or hello is, some people have never had that, at any point in their life, so it takes them back a bit, well that is my wierd thought on it.

How is everyone reading this, are you all ok? Are you? Really ok? It's ok not to be ok. You are amazing, the person reading this, you. Tell yourself that everytime you look in the mirror, everytime something goes wrong, everytime you question life, remember you are amazing, somebody special to...

Same here, for me it drops quickly if I have taken Novo Rapid 3 hours since, but after that when there is only basal in my system its more of a steady drop.

If it is genetical then it would have still been passed down from more than 100 years ago because people died from type 1 diabetes in their 20s 30s 40s etc so will have probably had children by the time they died and same for their children, and if it is a mutation of the DNA then carriers will...

Nowhere have I recommended eating more carbs, perhaps you should reread what I said, my first peice of advice has been about removing carbohydrates first by lowering portions of carbs almost completely from her diet, that would then ease into a LCHF diet if that is something she wishes to...

I reckon you are on to something, it would make the perfect basal alternative method, and then you would only need your fast acting insulin injection when and before eating food or for corrections I know this tablet would greatly help me if It was for basal, I know its not much, but the twice a...

Hello all I am Daniel from England, I have been a type 1 diabetic from age 15. I had a hard time upon diagnosis, my blood glucose reading was 28mmol/l and I had weighed 5.5 stone from 9 stone, my extremeties (nose, toes) had started to turn black because of lack of blood supply I think, and the...

It is one strange disease but I have to say, I am so glad that there is this forum, it is really amazing being able to speak to you guys about our condition, you guys are great, and together we will all beat this condition, there may never be a cure but we will get there

Depending on what carbs you are eating they may be too quick releasing and sending your sugar skyrocketing, eat slow release carbohydrates or less of them as it is those that raise your blood sugar the quickest *check nutritional information* and ask to be put on Novo rapid or similar insulin...

One of the main issues I think, at least in my opinion, is with autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, who knows when it actually starts? There is no screening process and the onset is very sudden, and I dont know about you guys but my memory is utterly *****, so when they came to me and asked...

@Indy51 That seems far more plausible, thanks for sharing that

My family has a lot of type 1 diabetics, and the running joke is, the doctor says type 1 diabetes runs in your family, and my sister who isn't diabetic says thats the probem, no one runs in our family although its nothing to do with type 1, it makes us laugh Strange isnt it circuspony, we dont...

Oh haha around that time I used to finish school and finish off a pack of biscuits most days, theres my sin Well whatever it is, we won't let it beat us eyy guys
