Hey there, Do you try to minimise carbs at all? I just wonder if you don't already minimise carbs, it might be worth considering. Trying to balance your insulin with meals can be a real faff - it may be a way to take some of the hassle out of diabetes? Yawning - constantly tired, yes it could...

Hi martin80 Sorry life is getting you down.:( Where are your bloods at? I only ask because my husband went through a really low patch before he was diagnosed T1 - we realised afterwards that his erratic BG levels were actually a major contributor to how negative he was feeling. He was in a...

Hi calymic, You should just exercise when you feel like it. Really the main consideration for you would be with regards to the insulin you are injecting and whether or not you are injecting with your meals or if you are just taking daily injections. Exercise and insulin don't mix. When you...
