Totally agreed, the guys at the hospital are fantastic, especially Katie the dietician, she's awesome. Surprised it was lost, interestingly I had my GADs done by my GP and then got admitted to the MDU a week later who told me they'd do my islet abs and GADs again but when I went back to the DSN...

And 80s!

I don't think so, I think it's just the one in Cov! Anyway, feel free to message me if you ever need to chat as a fellow newly diabetic

The WISDM centre, I was diagnosed a month after you at the same hospital and that's my clinic now!

Yes, they do, but obviously there are a lot of other factors involved otherwise everyone with a genetic predisposition to type 1 would become type 1 after they start consuming milk, which does not happy. There are some people who are genetically predisposed to type 1 that never seroconvert. As...

@AngelaLynch no one is with holding information, the paper quoted above is a published research article. The issue is more of empirical evidence, type 1 is obviously an incredibly complicated condition and with a myriad of factors involved and boiling it down to moving from breast feeding to...

There is certainly not enough evidence to advise parents to avoid it.

@Mark14400 are you in Coventry?

Yes, it is. Check your ketones

having read through the paper, it is interesting this is being used as definitive proof that cows milk can cause type 1. While there is a correlation, in this paper there is no evidence to suggest a reason for cows milk causing the seroconversion of the infants to become type 1. This could...

Firstly, good luck with your exams @EllsKBells! I did my undergraduate in Microbiology and the biochem modules were easily the hardest. Secondly, what the hell?! Your tutor thinks diabetes is "all in your head"? What did he/she say to you then? I understand the rule for the storage of info...

6.1 for me!

My routine for weekdays: Wake up, shower and get dressed at 0530 and test (as I walk 3 miles to work) Lantus at 0745 Test and Novorapid at 0800 for breakfast Test mid morning as I work in a lab and on my feet most of the day Test and Novorapid at 1245 for lunch Test at 1630 before walking 3...

Hi everyone, I am a very new type 1, although my partner has been a type 1 since 8/9 years old (@TallGiraffe). Obviously I have been told to look after my feet, so I went out and got some brand new walking shoes as I am on my feet a lot and walk to work to make sure they are protected...

Does anyone know when it will be available on prescription?

Thank you for all the great advice. I've just received a pen that will do 1/2 units, just need to change my prescription to refills and not flex pens so I can use it! I think I have got a good grip on the amount of insulin etc to take on "normal" days, but as you said, I am sure something...

Hi @Juicyj, thanks for replying. I am currently on novarapid (4ui breakfast, 6ui lunch and 8ui dinner) and lantus (8 ui am and pm). I am not carb counting yet as my numbers are really good and waiting for me to get used to everything first and then going on the course in the view to starting...

I was recently diagnosed as type 1 (Dec '16) and have so far been in good control of my BG. However, I work in a lab so often on my feet all day and I walk to and from work (3 miles each way) and fairly often have hypos at work or on the walk home. The symptoms are pretty bad and last for up...

Cheers, K Town. Thanks again, would have been very ill without you!

I know what you mean about routine. I'm finding work the hardest as I am on my feet all day in a lab and walk to and from work (3 miles each way) so spend all day constantly worrying about having hypos etc. I have had a few and always feel awful afterwards (and during) and completely wiped out
