Evening [emoji1309] Still not great, riding the roller coaster today. Following sick day rules, daily support from wonderful diabetic nurse at the moment, feel like a right pain. Whatever this is it’s causing havoc and is insufferable. Feel totally rubbish!!!

Hello you [emoji1309] I can related to what you’ve posted, I was worried about ketones and have had levels up to 22 on glucose readings - the difference being I have ketone strips and can keep an eye on things that way. I think if it was me I’d want to do the nhs 111 online checker form and see...

I’m really quite poorly. Lots of different symptoms including sickness. Never had ketones before so it’s stressing me out and finding it a bit overwhelming. Have been told that if things don’t improve overnight will be a trip to hospital and I REALLY don’t want that - the last thing they...

Glad you’re doing well Matt, I was diagnosed T1 in July 2019 and been pretty well since being on insulin! HbA1c in feb was 48. Sadly levels are like a [emoji567] at the moment feeling roooough!!!

Mine would be the same as MarkHaZ123 ordinarily Before breakfast 2 hrs after Before lunch 2 hours after Before dinner 2 hours after Before bed Around 3am But at the moment it’s every two hours because I’m unwell [emoji855][emoji58]

I am so sorry for your loss sending lots of love

Strictly speaking we are social distancing and following the guidance, working from home where possible - how this is happening is quite difficult [emoji53]

I’m a key worker social worker and have to go into peoples homes to visit my manager and team across the board are very supportive. They did a risk assessment as well and were concerned about the change in government guidance from what it originally said. I can’t complain to be honest, they try...

Little bit of good news - my last HbA1c about 2 weeks ago was 49. It was over 100 in July [emoji1303] thank you insulin [emoji171]

Are diabetics amongst those who should be expecting contact on Monday then??? Sorry for jumping in, just curious. Thanks for your comments Brandoon I’m a children and families social worker so it’s really tough, but I think everyone is worried about what they are expected to regardless of...

Apparently there is more advice to come out over the weekend. I’m a social worker and in a similar situation it’s a difficult call. Have been told to work at home where possible and agree it’s the feeling of letting others down that isn’t easy to sit with. Hopefully more advice will come over...

Hello everyone I’ve just had my HbA1c back and was really happy it’s 49 as it’s a significant improvement from when I first found out about diagnosis. But that isn’t the point of this post! My colleague was telling me that I should apply for PIP being type 1 as it impacts on my daily living...

Ahhh that’s amazing! I also have had a positive experience like yours and think my team and manager are brilliant - not making a fuss but checking if I need anything. What a great reaction, love it!

I don’t know if there is any guidance on this but I went to occupational health when I found out and they explained that I needed to have somewhere to inject that was clean and sterile and be able to attend any appointments I needed to without taking it as leave or time owed - but my work are...

Maybe I was just having a moment - checked just now 4 hours after and it’s 7.2 ‍♀️

Hello all! I posted another message about levels when I was ill which were all over the place. Since feeling better there hasn’t been any real change. I feel like my insulin isn’t having much, if any impact on my levels at the moment. I use humalog and abasaglar. I haven’t eaten anything...

Hello I started off on humalog mix 25 and like Kim has said found it very frustrating that it was fixed and had no room for correction. It actually wasn’t really helpful at all for me personally because I don’t have a fixed routine as such and like to do things on a whim. I changed to humalog...

2 or 3 times a day doesn’t seem realistic does it if you’re treating before meals, 2 hours after and before bed as a minimum, I was only getting 50 at a time but now I usually get minimum of 100 each time I put a prescription request in depends who issues the prescription sometimes I get 3 boxes...
