Oh no, that's a young age to be diagnosed but at least he can begin to learn about it and managing it! I feel for you both. I second that book too, it's fantastic! Good luck with everything and you'll find much good advice and friendly people on this forum <3

Welcome to the forum!

Fair enough! I hope it will be in a few years or so then, it would be a good idea! And I think I will try and save up then :D

Thank you for the positive support guys! I will ask my GP, I have my LTC appointment coming up so I will ask then! Yoga is a good idea too, will have to search for some youtube videos and have a go!

Hey everyone! I'm wondering about losing weight. Have any of you been able to? I'm at a bit of a loss right now! Basically, I've had poorly controlled diabetes for 15 years and my weight has slowly been increasing. Over the years I've gone from 12 to 16 stone and it's depressing. I don't eat...

I'm really hoping my health has at least improved from not smoking :) I'm so pleased vaping is an option, otherwise I'd still be smoking 20 a day at this point!

Omg this is worrying.... I am an artist and have suffered with wrist pain for years. About 8 years ago I got diagnosed with dequervain's syndrome in my right hand and had an operation on it. It reduced the pain a lot but didn't stop it, the doctor just kind of shrugged it off. Now it's a lot...

Oooh I have no previous records of mine, but mine at the moment is 98%. I did smoke for about 6 years and now vape heavily.

When I was diagnosed in 2002, my blood sugar read as 32mmol and I was in and out of a coma! It's actually how I got diagnosed - being that sick :( I remember my pulse being so incredibly high they said it was a new record for their hospital and I had doctors and nurses come look at the screen -...

Ahh that helps a lot, thank you!

Does anyone know if this is available on the NHS? I am on very low income and so jealous of you guys haha!

I know mine is absolutely horrific, but I have no idea how to actually work it out! On my GP site, my results from my last one look like this: Hb A1c LTG Haemoglobin A1c level 8.900 % HbA1c levl - IFCC standardised 74.000 mmol/mol Help? Does that mean my hba1c is 74%???

Hey everyone! For a while I have been taking lantus in the morning, around 9am, though sometimes I oversleep or simply forget! I tend to have hypos in the night a lot so I'm probably taking too much humalog with my evening meal - plus we eat pretty late - 9pm. This can't really be changed at the...

Well done on getting them down so quickly!

I was also diagnosed at 14 years old and it was a huge shock and trauma for me. I was in the middle of school, had exams coming up and I was generally miserable and felt less than human. The best you can do for your daughter is read as much as you can on these forums, listen to her and figure...

It's nice having a recent reply here, I've just come back to the forums after a rough time with diabetes and also fibromyalgia. It seems that 10-15 years ago was not a good time to be diagnosed, lots of people including us were not advised correctly or at all. If you need a friend, Alister...

Hey all, I am currently unemployed and on ESA due to severe anxiety/depression but really want to start a low carb diet! I did try 'paleo' before and I was amazed at how much my BS improved! However, not having too much money makes low carb expensive for me as ****** carbs seem to be the...

I LOVE licorice, especially 'salmiakki', a salty licorice from Finland. But yeah, lots of salt content!

Welcome to the forum! I'm also type 1 and only just starting to take better care of myself. This forum is literally changing my life with all the friendliness and advice. I'm sure you'll have much renewed motivation here :)
