I'm sure with the right support network you'll be back on track in no time :) not sure how things work where you live but up here in Scotland I had to get the referral through my GP to change the hospital whose care I was under. I hope to hear better things from you soon regarding your...

I'm not saying it could or would only happen to a T1, I was just explaining my particular situation and the circumstances surrounding what happened as it had been playing on my mind so I thought I'd ask if anyone on the forum had experienced anything similar :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I just hope that even if she still didn't understand what had happened that she at least googled it for some further info when she finished her shift. Show was a grown woman in her 40s-50s, had she been younger I would've probably been less upset and mortified by it all. Hopefully none of you...

Welcome :) I hope you find the forum as supportive and helpful as I have. Wishing your family well :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

:( that's horrible! I know as a medical professional they have to make you aware of certain complications...but still the aim should be to get you help and support with your diabetes and insulin regime. How long have you been diabetic? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I fully understand that iHs, as I didn't know anything about Diabetes until I became T1. However, had anyone ever clearly explained to me exactly what was happening while someone was hypo, I wouldn't have ever asked them to leave and come back when they're 'normal' I carry kids sized cans of...

That's not great Desync, when I was first diagnosed I was put under the care of a local hospital but was having problems with my doses and night time hypos ect. Left message after message on the answer machine of my DSN but heard nothing back. Ended up going to my GP and explaining what was...

Absolutely. I've had this symptom a few times, my brain function just seems to close down. I know what I need/want to do but just can't seem to actually do it. My DSN advised me that it happens when your BG is 2 or under or if it has dropped quickly. I tend to get the shakey hands and pins and...

Thank you very much :) the hormones definitely didn't help the situation, I cried for about 20 minutes after this all happened lol x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks everyone, you've all made me feel better :) I was starting to think that I was in the wrong for treating my hypo.... I do wear an I.D necklace with the diabetes symbol on the front and type 1 on the back which I also showed to the woman. We did ask to speak to the manager/owner but he...

I visited the nurse at my doctors surgery to get my HBA1C checked every 3months while trying to conceive, I wanted to keep a close eye on things so I'm sure you can request the same thing too :) Good luck! X Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hello :) I was going to a local cafe for a bit to eat with my other half. I felt a little light headed, checked my BG and was 2.6, due to being 22 weeks pregnant I automatically took a little kids size can of coke out my bag and drank it. The waitress then shouted across the cafe to advise...

Hello, welcome to the Forum. I hope that like me, you find this page a great support network as well as a place to speak to people in the same boat as yourself :) I have over the past 6 years struggled with various aspects of being T1. I became diabetic due to a viral infection and my body...

Hi :) I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant. You need to be taking folic acid daily until 12 weeks and also vitamin D daily throughout, until baby is born. My DSN recommended an HBA1C of below 7mmol before trying to conceive, but I do know others who have been higher than this and reigned in control...

I think the body of a non diabetic just produces enough insulin to cover the amount of food the person has eaten in order to keep their BG between 4-7. I do know that a non diabetic can also get similar symptoms to a hypo if they've gone for a long period without eating or drinking x Sent...

You should be taking 5mg folic acid daily up until you are 12 weeks pregnant, along with vitamin D every day throughout your pregnancy, it is most multivitamins. My hba1c was 7% when I told my diabetic nurse that I wanted to start a family and they were more than happy for me to do so. I didn't...
