Ha ha ha ha oh that's so true. Well i dint think my TDD's were that high until i read other peoples. On average it's around 36u, basal being 22(a bit top heavy) and bolus around 14 (61/39%). I'm working on evening that out. Will be interesting to see the difference Met will make. So far I've...

Funnily enough yes and it has and it came back "sub-clinical hypothyroidism". This was done in May but my Endo doesn't want to treat me for it yet as I've very recently had a heart attack and he said the drugs for the thyroid problem wouldn't be suitable just yet. I'm having another blood test...

Oh how awful for your lad @crushersmum. I hope he's making good progress now. As for me and Metformin, the jury's out for now [emoji6]

Well I'm one week in and............nausea, nausea and more nausea [emoji31]. No appetite whatsoever and having horrible eggy burps. Perhaps i need to go and ask about having the slower release ones? Been having loads of hypos so trying to basal test and adjust my pump settings accordingly. I...

Hhmmmm very interesting. Been T1 for 40 years and have just been put on Metformin [emoji52]

I do remember seeing this on a tv programme called "Tomorrow's World". They talked about it being the new treatment and demonstrated it by pressing the button and a mist shooting out. It looked a bit like a stungun with a radar dish lol. This would have been in the early 80's. My dad said he'd...

What a horrid experience for you. Please try to not let it get to you for too long. As another commenter pointed out, you may have been on the receiving end of someone's very bad day. I'm having problems with Lloyds too, not ordering in my heart meds and various other things, so much so I've...

Fab! Look at the size of the machine on the bottom left!!!

I looked at this's too and once asked my GP about whether it was a good thing to take and she just pulled a face. Suppose she would really though [emoji53]

[emoji1] ha ha ha probably both......hhhmmmm?!

Thanks RRB [emoji173]️

Thank you ConradJ. Sounds very much like my predicament there and like you i think there have to be more T1's suffering the same. I shall persevere and report back in a while as to how it's going.

Thank you AndBreathe, certainly makes for interesting reading. From the pointers you took from Deakins book i hit every one of them and really, when you think about it, although i have to externally administer my insulin if i am one of these unlucky people whose body struggles to utilise...

DN: let's see if we can get you to 55 The above has stuck with me for the past few years. It's wormed it's way into my brain and since my heart attack in March it rings around my head constantly. The DN and i actually get on great though, it's was probably a witty remark (i hope) The other...

I used to suffer this a few years ago in both wrists/hands and was duly sent off for neurological tests. The neurologists reported that it was not carpal tunnel and probably neuropathy. However, my consultant at the orthopaedic hospital said that he sees a lot of Type 1's who's reports come back...

Thank you for your reply peter7. I started my Metformin last night (1000mg) and woke with a hypo this morning so there's going to be lots of adjustments for me to make on my insulin pump, etc. it was really encouraging to read about your experiences with Metformin and it's lovely to hear about...

Thank you for that AndBreathe. I really do need to swat up on insulin resistance. I started my Metformin last night. Woke up hypo this morning lol. I guess in these early days of taking it I'm going to have to do lots of adjustments on my insulin pump and lots of basal testing. From reading...

That's what i used to use instead of "the slasher" ha ha

We should make our own. Gather all these stories lol

That happened to me.........on a bus lol. I also once must have not put the orange lid back on my syringe properly, i swung into my bus seat and grabbed my bag onto my lap only for the unsheathed needle to stab me in the thumb!!! I shouted out so loud that everybody turned to look at me lol.
