I am a carer yes, but I work days. 12 hour shifts. I'm not sure if my ratios are correct but my DSN needs some readings to be able to make changes if needed so right now that's the focus.

I really don't know. This is maybe where some mental health support would come in useful and help me get to the bottom of it. I think one of my issues is weight. I'm 12 and a half stone approximately, so I am overweight but not drastically. I have always found if I eat the rubbish I want to eat...

It would be absolutely wonderful if somebody could remind me/give me that extra push I needed ☺️ Usually when I'm about to eat I don't even think about taking my insulin. And then feel guilty afterwards and sometimes check and correct but often don't. I have a really really unhealthy diet, I...

Yes basal/bolus, I am prescribed Tresiba and NovoRapid. I honestly don't know what the issue is, I don't think it's the injections themselves. There seems to be some kind of mental block. My DSN has put in a referral for some mental health support and I have been asked to contact one of the...

My aim is a pump but right now they will not consider me for it due to me not engaging with my regime. I have cried tears during my appointments with the consultant as I truly believe a pump is the way forward for me but until I start to do something to help myself they have ruled it out. I know...

I'm really embarrassed to write this as I've reached out on here for help many times before but I just can't seem to help myself. My levels are so high, constantly. This is because I either don't take my insulin or because I eat whatever I want and will either take a guess at the amount of...

Has anybody found any decent sensor covers to keep the Libre 2 Plus sensor secure and to prevent them catching on things? I'm looking to buy some as I'm often ripping out my sensors but I don't want to waste money on ones that aren't up to much. TIA

I got through 3 sensors in under 2 weeks! The first kept giving me HI reading consistently but when I checked with blood they weren't HI. Eventually it kept giving me signal loss notifications and then the sensor would not scan. It then gave up the go and said instructed to change sensor. The...

I ended up eating a cheese omelette but still no change to my BG before bed or when I woke this morning. It just isn't shifting.

Alot of anger, denial perhaps not so much. I understand the complications associated with long term hyperglycemia and don't want to experience any of those but for some reason it just isn't enough to keep me in good habits and I just don't know why.

I feel like my biggest obstacles are psychological. There's definitely some kind of barrier there. NovoRapid is my bolus and Tresiba my basal. I attended DAFNE and I really enjoyed it and found it really useful but once left to my own devices I just fall into bad habits and have very little...

Today is a perfect example of a day in the life of... I woke 10.15am (I sleep ALOT) Checked my BG at 10.23am.... 19.7 So I corrected, 5 units (I used to find that 1 unit would reduce by 3). I check again at 12.36pm, just before lunch... 15.3 Ate lunch but as insulin was still active I only gave...

Other way around sorry. Tresiba basal.

Tresiba is my bolus, 28 units and novorapid is my basal. I was diagnosed 2012 so 11 years now. Pump they won't allow me to have and I have a libre but absolutely despise it.

Hi all, me again. Still facing the same challenges, things just seem to have gotten worse. My most recent hba1c is shocking and I feel absolutely dreadful all of the time. I know it's my own doing which is why I'm embarrassed and ashamed but I just feel powerless and don't know how to turn this...

My diabetic nurse asked for a referral to the hospital, I had an appointment to see a consultant and they cancelled last minute with no explanation. Said it would be rescheduled but I'm still waiting. I also asked for input from a dietician which my nurse said the consultant could schedule for...

Usually fine with basal until recently. Now I'm neither consistent with bolus or basal. I see a diabetic nurse through my GP and she's usually great but I know she's tiring of me now too. I feel like I have nobody to turn to and with numbers this dire I sure could use the help. I know there's a...

I've completely lost any control I had and I feel like I've gone somewhere beyond burnout. And even when I try my BG is just uncontrollable and so so high. I feel absolutely dreadful all the time. I just wish I knew what to do to get make things better.

Embarrassingly high :( Feeling defeated.

I am Type 1 and find that regardless of whether my BG is 'normal' I cannot stay awake. Unsure if this is diabetes related or whether there is something else going on.
