So sorry for all those typos !!!!! Thatll teach me to re read before posting

Thank you for the hug! When ileft hospital i was on set dosages of novorapud and lantus. The consultant and nirse have told me how tp adjust the novorapid according to what im eating. I also bought the carbs and cals book to help guide me. Its just a lot of info at the moment. I have the libre...

Medical team Gp useless. Misdiagnosed me as type 2. Nurse quite good but basically has told me to get on with it. I think i bombarded her with too many questions Consultant appointment in a couple of months

Thank you, i know what you say makes sense. I just need to try be more positive i guess, and stop seeing thos as a life sentence . I have a 7 year old son, and i really worry about the effect this could have on him. But again im probably just panicking

Great advice. Google really is not my friend at the moment. Im unfollowing facebook pages too. Making me extra stressed reading all the things that can go wrong

Thanks, i do hope so. Its all really overwhelming right now. And reading up.online is also making me worry aboit all other risks

Hi all, Sorry in advance for being negative.... diagnosed 6 weeks ago after a really serious dka and im feeling really down in the dumps. I hate being diabetic, losing the fredom to eat and do what i wamt without considering the consequences. Just thinking last night i cant even fall asleep...

For suhoor what about overnight oats?? They're filling and hopefully enough for you to have metformin. I made them last year in Ramadan (sadly no fasting for me this year as I'm diagnosed type 1), theres loads of great ideas for combinations online. I know lots of type 2 s that observe Ramadan...

Thank you for your replies x

Hi again all, So a few questions..its all new to me so apologies if they're obvious. A bit about me - 42 year old. About 6 weeks ago gp diagnosed type 2. Put me on metformin. 4 weeks ago I was hospitalised in DKA. very nearly didn't make it. Diagnosed as type 1. On novorapid 3 times a day...

That's what I thought. But it was a consultant who said it!! Anyway, am writing all my questions down, will post later This site is bloody amazing !! I've added myself to some groups on Facebook. Big mistake. I think they're mainly American. Full of doom and gloom and horror stories. Going to...

Same here ! They say I must have been type 1 from birth It just didn't show up for 42 years But I have had glucose tests while pregnant. Came up fine So confusing But, it is what it is i suppose I just need to get on with it

Yes I did . I've always been really overweight. Never really got below 14 stones ... anyway I was finally on weight watchers and put the weight loss down to that . Clearly not !! So by the time I was hospitalised I was under 12 stones. For the first time ever. But since I started insulin and...

Thanks so much people So I have a list of questions. Should lil d I post each one as a separate thread. Or will that be too much ?? Shall I post them all together ?

This is so true The gp literally looked at me. Said I'm type 2. Gave me pills and sent me on my way. Not even mentioning any chance of type 1. It took me nearly dying to be diagnosed. I'm really upset by this, but trying to move on ...

Thanks for those lovely replies, I'm going to answer. And then ask you more questions ! I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. Have managed to have 4 apps with the nurse. But I think shes sick of me and my questions!! The NHS doesn't have time for me to keep making apps with my lists of we questions...

Thanks for your reply. I was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago. Started on 6 units novorapid each meal. I've been taught how to adjust it. I've bugged the nurse and met her weekly. Shes probably sick of me but I still dont feel confident adjusting doses without asking. If that makes sense? Anyway no...

Hi there, Newly diagnosed, so really unsure about certain things ... I'm on novorapid 3 times a day before meals. And lantus at night. So far whenever I check bg before bed it's around 5. My nurse and consultant said to avoid a hypo overnight have a snack before bed. But as someone already...

Hi there everyone, I'm quite new on here, been reading for a couple of weeks and finally have got the courage to post. To cut a long (very traumatic) story short I went to see my gp after experiencing extreme thirst, lots of weeing, and blurry vision. He pretty much immediately diagnosed me...
