I have only been diagnosed for 2 years in total but found that at first my fingers were really sore but this has eased, the skin must be getting tougher. I try to change my lancet regulary and have it set on a low setting so it does not stab my finger to hard. If my fingers are sore I try and...

I had gestational diabetes and have now been diagnosed with type 1, having discussed further pregnancies with my DSN she explain that as soon as I found out I was pregnant I am to contact her and she will arrange for me to go to the hospital to see the specialists and the consultant the next...

As I said in my previous post, I don't need any 'slow acting' insulin and I don't need any in the morning. I first had diabetes in pregnancy and then did not need insulin for 6 months after but then my BS increased again. I had the novomix at first but was having hypos if I did not get my tea in...

Seabill How do you find the Novomix30. I started on this but found this difficult to manage, e.g eatting at certain times etc. Have you thought about the 4 injections a day, it has made my life so much easier ( I am only taking 2 injections at the mo!)

Geoff, how long have you been like this for? My consultant says that he thinks that we may still be in the postion a couple of years down the line. !! I forgot to take my 5 novorapid at tea and just did BS 18.9! Have now have 5 units and will test before bed. Do you take a slow acting insulin...

Re: NEWBIE alert! I can blame whatever I like!!!! I promise you after having ben I have never been the same. Ben decided on saturday at a party to squeeze a ketchup pot that hard it shot up his arm and over his face, over the party table, over the chairs and onto the floor. He found it...

I have had more than 1 every 6 months. Not much more but I guess that it is to stop people ordering loads at once.

I just text the word solution to 84118 and they send me some, normally 2-3 days. Control solution only has a 3 month shelf life, so yours is well out of date. You can also text book to the same number and they lend you logs. Rach

I am still only having 3 units with lunch and 5 with tea. What are your sugars like at the mo?. On wed I had the same amounts of insulin and all readings were between 10-20 then next day with similar types of food I had 2 hypos. It drives me mad not knowing what is going to happen next.

Just wondering if Jessie is about and how you are getting on?

I was 27 and 28, I was diagnosed in pregnancy and then again 6 months after giving birth. Was ok while I was breastfeeding and did not need any insulin.

Re: NEWBIE alert! MMMM, might be tempted by more than one - why I hear you shout - Have not got a clue why??? Have been advised by my DSN that now would be a good time to have another one while my BS are low due to 'honeymooning'.( think my partner would run the other way - FAST) I do worry how...

Re: NEWBIE alert! Gt test - not nice!! especially not when pregnant and suffering with unexpected bouts of vomitting(sorry). As for losing 10% I think thats all I have left!!! when I found the pepper mill in the fridge today I knew things would never be the same!!!!

Re: NEWBIE alert! The sprog is 15 months and has changed my life( in more ways than one). They did ask me if I had suffered with 'symptoms' of diabetes before pregnancy, which I answered no. He did say that even If I had not become pregnant then I may have been diagnosed with diabetes anyway...

Re: NEWBIE alert! When I had my GT test at 6 weeks It came back as impaired glucose,7 at 2 hour test.At this point I was breastfeeding and believe that this regulated my sugars because when I stopped BF (6 months later) I started to feel unwell, lost weight and then started testing my sugars...

Re: NEWBIE alert! Hi Jem I was diagnosed with diabetes in pregnancy, I was told at that point that I was type 1.Was you never told. This has gone onto me being type 1 and insulin dependant. When I was diagnosed again 6 months after giving birth this was the first question I was asked, was I...

yes but within the space of a few hours.

I have started to suffer with headaches and what feels like eye strain. I was diagnosed about 8 months ago but the headaches are getting worse. Could this be to do with the diabetes or just general problems. I am 27 and honeymooning with some eratic BS but they are never consistantly high. Can...

I was diagnosed with gestational at 6 months and treated with insulin. I am now insulin dependant as a consequence, it has changed my life. Was this the kind of thing you were after, not the success story you were possibly looking for. If it is let me know and I will email you? Did not want to...
