Hi My diabetes team have never mentioned a pump I wouldn't mind having one but the thought of a needle inside me all the time puts me off. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I was 7 when I was first diagnose but I never told anyone at school they knew I was diabetic but didn't ever see me injecting and checking my BG. In college I told one friend and showed her now I have just finished uni and really couldn't care less if someone looks or makes a comment at the end...

I think a lot of health care professionals all give advice that contradicts each other. I guess it's different for each person am happy with split dosage as when I used to inject lantus once I made an error and injected twice the result was a seziure and the outcome was a recurrent dislocation...

Thank you for the advice I will try to knock off two units of lantus tonight in relation to the weight gain it's really anoying because I have to inject a lot more then 1:10 ratio I actually don't eat much just three small meals I am also celiac. For example for breakfast it's one slice of...

I tried when I was younger I was on a mix of some sort twice a day it really didn't work but with lantus and novo rapid it was quiet easy Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi I have a few questions and I know they might have been answered beforehand but am confused. I have been taking lantus for 5 years I feel really hungry and have gained around 2 stones apart from that I feel depressed and sluggish I thought it was normal until now. Although am changing to...

I have fasted in the past whilst on insulin I used to take my lantus in split dose and my novo rapid when I opened my fast and closed leaving my BG it between 9-10 it used to drop to about 6 by the time I would open it after 16 hours. However I think talking to a health care professional would...

We are exempt from fasting however I do know a friend who is also type 1 and keeps her fasts should talk to your consultant beforehand Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Mine was 14 years ago in 2000 I think. It was towards the end of September am nearly 21 one now so was just a few months after my seventh birthday. My parents had gone to the doctors several times as I did not have an apatite however I had always been quite slim and underweight the doctors told...

I rang them up and asked for the strips they said you've had as many as you can for the month this was 2 weeks ago so I had to go buy some. I rang back asking to speak to a doctor they told me to ring back every time I ring they tell me to ring back. Then I asked them for an appointment with...

Having the same problem my self they told be to check between 6-8 times yet I only get 100 strips. They last me two weeks and right now I have none. I had to go to boots several times and now my doctors is away on holiday :-( lucky me Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

How many strips are they meant to supply to a type 1? I am a student and have had diabetes for 14 years but when ever I ring the surgery up they decline giving me more strips I get 100 a month but it's clearly not enough when they want me to test 6-8 times a day. Recently had to go to boots and...
