Ohh yes @hh1 it'll be a different game once she is at food stealing height! I wish you luck on the boot rack battle :wacky:

Good morning everyone :cat: Good luck with your eye test @karen8967 You've reminded me to book mine in, so thanks! @Fairygodmother puppy sitting sounds amazing, I hope you have a lovely time. :) I've started my day with a 14.5 :bag: It's gone down to 12.4 in less than an hour, so hopefully...

Hi, I highly recommend online shopping! My Husband & I are terrible for just throwing things in the trolley that 1. we don't need & 2. is no good for us! So online shopping you don't have the temptation or all the rubbish food in your face.

Yes that is very true. My cousin was diagnosed at the age of about 14 I think. I remember his Mum talking to my Mum & saying how she literally had to wrestle him to the ground to inject him & it wasn't always possible. Luckily I know he is doing very well with it now he is older.

Thanks @Jaylee I like your metaphor of the wings falling off!

@EllieM that's brilliant to hear. Huge congratulations on your wedding anniversary too!

Thanks @db89

Hey @MeiChanski I am very quickly seeing just how supportive this site can be! I genuinely feel like I've been able to say so much that I must have been holding back on. That's really good to hear that you & your b/f can understand how you feel to an extent. You can appreciate how difficult...

Thank you @KK123 I'd not really thought about it like that. With regards to him asking about my HBA1C, it's just knowing he cares. That's all I want, is for him to think about what is going on in my life & to want to know about it. And yes I can absolutely see why this site is here now! I...

@helensaramay I don't think you're being petty at all. I get just as frustrated & all it would take is for him to ask if I wanted a hand, or even to just ask if all is ok & I would feel so much better about it all. Yeah I will also count the carbs myself to double check, but I won't tell him...

Oh my word, yes @porl69 I would definitely check it for myself rather than just use his carb count to base my injection on haha. I won't test him tonight as we're eating out, so tomorrow maybe. :hungry:

I had a Diabetes related tattoo done a few years ago now & I have only every had one person know that it is linked to Diabetes lol. Here it is .. ..

Hi @Muneeb , Yes I agree, you shouldn't rely on someone else to manage your health for you. But a little support goes a long way. For me it does anyway. I know everyone is different, but for me, having someone just ask me what my last HBA1C was is enough to stop me feeling so alone & like I...

Awwww that is amazing! for someone to sing your praises like that is just incredible. You must have such a huge smile on your face as he does :smug::angelic: x

Aww thats brilliant, I am pleased to hear she is on the old carb counting! I don't think my husband would have a clue. Maybe I should ask him to do it for me. Next time he cooks dinner, he can tell me how many carbs are in it too. Is that a bit mean? lol

Haha men ay, they have no patience

thank you so much @Juicyj I already feel like I'm part of something lovely being able to discuss these things with everyone here. 100% know what you mean about feeling like you ruin the fun sometimes. I feel like my Husband can get really annoyed if a hypo hits when we're out or doing...

Yes that is a great idea @NicoleC1971 If my GP can't give me the date I'll just pick one & stick with it :) I'm glad you sound it exciting at the time! 9 is so young, I can't imagine my Nephews being diagnosed at that age (or any age hopefully) x

Hi, I was interested to know what kind of support everyone gets at home, from friends, family Husband/Wife etc? Since I was approximately 13/14 years old I have felt really alone with my Diabetes. I struggled as a teen & had very bad control. That lead to me distancing myself from my...

Hi @jsmith8196 Firstly congratulations on doing so well & taking control of the situation! Also well done for sticking out the pre-pregnancy clinic! I was going about 4 years ago & I just couldn't take it any longer. It just seemed to be 1 unrealistic goal after another when I went to my...
