    Petition to have freestylelibre on nhs

    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10204603124077164&id=1806411541 I'm not sure if this has been shared already but came across this link today. What a great thing if it's approved! I think I might buy one privately just to give my fingers a break for a couple weeks. The petition...

    Type 1 Advise please

    Hi! I went through early menopause when I was 16. I hadn't been diagnosed at that stage but have been on HRT throughout. I think but I'm not 100% sure that if you take HRT it may keep your levels more stable as you won't be having monthly periods. I may be completely wrong but that's how I've...

    Social media

    I've the past few days used moderation. I've allocated myself 1 hour where I can browse social media. I have to say it feels like a weight off my shoulders. Facebook and instagram feel like I'm competing with others. That's not 'normal'. I feel better and my husband has noted an improvement in...

    Type 1 and adoption

    I'm not on a pump @Mrsass I'm not sure I meet the criteria? I have my next review in 6 months and by that stage I will have been following dafne for 6 months which I know you need to get on waiting list in my trust but not sure if that's enough. I'd love the pump tho

    Type 1 and adoption

    @Mrsass from what i see on Google they seem to write to your consultant so as @lovinglife has said the best thing I can do is to continue to take care of myself well. We aren't planning on applying til early next year so tgats plenty of time to turn things around! It's just a heavy thought a...

    Type 1 and adoption

    So my husband and I are unable to procreate. I've always thought of adoption as the path we'd go down and both very happy with that. We haven't looked far into it yet as not long married and planning on starting the process next year. A friend made a comment the other day that due to my 'health...

    Poll: Which diabetes course(s) have you attended?

    Type 1 for almost 6 years now. Managed to get on the DAFNE course after a 2 year waiting list. Definitely worth it. I loved it. One of the main things I loved was meeting other type 1s in the flesh.

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    77 or 9.2% latest result in April. Review in 6 months I WILL BE MUCH LOWER. My overall aim atm is to get as close to 48 or 6.5% as possible.

    Social media

    Just had a read of that link. Very informative and makes me feel somewhat 'normal' to feel like this. I think moderation of use is the key for me. My husband calls me a 'Internet addict" I'm always on my phone. Time to put the phone down I think. Thanks @catherinecherub

    Social media

    What's everyone's opinions of social media? I've said on here before how I suffer depression/anxiety and have been seeing a CBT counsellor. She has been encouraging me not to use it as often as apparently it triggers anxiety with a lot of people. I use Facebook, instagram, snapchat and then...

    Binge eating

    So after 3 weeks I've caved and binged on loads of carbs. Just feeling the pressure of life. High anxiety for some reason today. At least I've cleared the house of all binge inducing ****

    I hate to be bad minded but I definitely feel his post was to provoke this response and possibly he'll come back trying to sell us something. Maybe just my bad mind [emoji53]
