I will do, didn't know that it existed ,normally stick around here, thanks sue

Just found out today and feeling all scared and excited at the same time. I was diagnosed last time at 28 weeks so have had some experience of being type 1 and pregnant but this time it is from day 1.(about 4 weeksish) Called my DSN this morning and by this evening I had a DSN/Midwife call me...

Thanks for that Dennis, I would never have looked at the small print but will do now. Just need to wish my hols here quickly now.

Thanks very much for that, some good tips. Going to a Villa so definately a fridge available, need to think about the daytime temp for my insulin, never thought about that. Have an appointment with my DSN next week so can sort out the letter then. Only going to portugal, so not a big time change...

I am going away in May and was after advice from others who have travelled as type 1. How do you carry insulin/needles on the plane, do i have to inform the airline first?? And any advice that I might not have thought of will be really useful. Thanks

Have been using this for 5 days now and it seems to be working better than the novorapid did, I am getting more stable lower BS levels and I am not suffering with highs 3,4,5 hours after eating like I had been. Feel a lot happier this week.

Have had my first injection tonight with my tea and just thought I was going to have a hypo but was BS 11, so not sure If I am just paranoid or its making me feel a bit different?

I have just been moved from Novorapid to Humlin S, due to me being a crazy honeymooner whos own insulin just won't quite give up and Novorapid is just a bit to rapid for me and was wondering how people 'get on' with this insulin, any side effects etc or any thing I should know about?

I took 2 units at BS of 22.5 and 3 hours later I was at 6.0 and thought that was a big drop for small amounts of insulin, but then I do seem to be very sensitive to insulin as I am still honeymooning.

How many units (novorapid) do you take to correct a high. Thanks

So its not just my family then. We don't seem to have other complications running through the family. I have had the anti body test when I was first diagnosed and it came back with type 1, thats why I am being treated with insulin. My other cousin, the youngest one has never honeymooned and we...

There are some good people on this site, never be afraid to ask a question, there will be someone willing to help you both.

I had this test done at boots along with a normal test and it was all for free. They gave me the results in minutes, better than the 6 weeks the NHS test took.

Until 2 1/2 years ago no one in my family had diabetes, now me, and my 2 cousins have all been diagnosed with type 1. Me first (age 27) my cousin( age 24) and my older cousin (age 28). I find it amazing how quick it has happen. I did not think that type 1 ran in families. Has this happened to...

I was scared at the idea of doing 4 injections a day, but the freedom this gives is fantastic, it means that you are not bound to meal times etc as strictly as you are on 2 injections. I wish I had known about this as soon as I was diagnosed.

Hi, I am 28 and been diagnosed for 21 months. I want to have good control now so that as I get older I hope that I can reduce the amount of complications we are prone too. I have a 19 month old little boy and he gives me all the hope I need.

I had type 1 Gestational and am now Type 1, There are some days when I wonder what I did to deserve this and would I have become type 1 without the baby, but do you know what, I have decided that I can worry about it or I can get on with it and deal with whatever is thrown at me. My little boys...

how are you controlling the GD, I had GD and found my specialist midwife very helpful with any questions I had, you may want to discuss with them before you start worrying to much about it. Sorry I can't answer anything specific but would worry about giving you incorrect info.

Kate I had GD and used insulin from about 24 weeks, I know it was the best for me and my baby and god knows what would have happened without it? It is scary at first but the sooner you can accept it and understand its benefits the quicker it becomes part of the pregnancy. Ben was born 4 weeks...

I was told not to use my thumb or fore finger to test as they could get infected and without the use of them you would struggle, anyone else told this?
