I watched most of it and really bothered that the woman is a nurse...

Me too. I often say that I wished I 'just' had type 1 ;)

Hi @Mmaabb welcome to the forum! I found it very difficult to find others with MS too, when I was first diagnosed with RRMS three years ago. There are a few of us though... I've had the joy of T1D for 27 years and MS was a shock as I put all the symptoms - pins and needles, being 'clumsy' - down...

no, you're not, I love this too :)

thanks for your replies. I'm trying to eliminate this from the treatment but I may have to persevere...

I'm due to take I think about 125ml of IV steroids soon due to MS treatment and I know this will increase my BG, but wondering how high it will go and how long for? I'll have another dose 2 weeks later and then nothing for 6 months. Anyone able to advise on this?

great news @Mel dCP !

I'm looking forward to this too :)

I have to adjust it at a certain time of the month, but I'm OK at it now. I only need to adjust up to 4u. I usually take 8u at 8am. Still have hypo awareness.

exactly my thought!

Well, not really 'permission' as I don't need it, want it or looked for it. But I suppose I've kind of got it now :angelic: My diabetes consultation last week was a surprise to me. I was all set to argue how well low carb/keto was working for me and how fasting from breakfast to dinner also...

Just to update, 1.5 warning symptoms - yes 1.6 - I ticked three or more hypos but none required assistance, which is the truth (never needed help). The only slight delay for me was with the neurologist (I have MS) who OK'd my fitness to drive. I got my licence renewed within three weeks.

I'm 41 and very much want to take up a part time degree with the open uni after having completed OU studies before (finished 2011). I'd have to sign up for student finance to pay for it. I've looked into this quite a bit and know that I wouldn't start paying for it (currently) until I earn £25k...

Never been offered the pneumonia vaccine in 25 years of T1D. Had my flu jab every year since diagnosis with no problems at all.

hi @BibaBee that's great news best wishes to your husband

hi @Diakat thanks!

hi @Diakat did you include additional information with your form about your hypos? did you give an exact number?

Thanks everyone

I take it that a majority of type 1's realistically would put three or more hypos in a year?

Received DIAB1 to complete. Just checking for question 1.4 - have you EVER had an episode of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)? I mean, of course YES? Seems a trick question to me... 1.5 do you get warning symptoms? I do, all the time, so I can answer yes to this. 1.6 how many episodes of low...
