Hello all, I've been testing now for about 2 months now (thats gone quick!). I am allowed 3-4 strips pre day on my prescription although hopefully will challenge that now I'm on Insulin as that was from when they had no idea what was going on and wanted to keep close monitor as my levels were...

Hello all, I'm sure this is an old topic but I've only just started to realise how frustrating this is. Twice yesterday I nearly called up Points of View to have my opinions voiced in a dodgy accent while Tezzer Wogan grins in the background. Why, oh why, oh why....... Do films have to be so...

Hello, A friend of mine (cough) has noticed his stools going paler/yellowish post diagnosis. Initially was put down to extreme low carbing and since going on Insulin and returning carbs to a more manageble level it went away. It is however back again without any significant change in diet. Is...

Hello all, I have been posting in the Type 2 version of this thread as I was told was Type 2 initially but GAD results led to switch to Insulin and new diagnosis so would be good to see how Type 1's get on? Mine was 6.0 this morning which is currently the low end of normal for me. Not sure if...

Hello all, I've just recently started on exercise again now i'm on Insulin and can actually eat enough to feel like I have the energy for it. My question is what impact should I expect exercise to have on BG. I want to adjust my quick acting insulin based on the exercise I planned to do as on...

Hello all, Does anyone know about this. I understand the fact that it means that the body is attacking itself and that it means that I have type 1 diabetes. What I'm really confused about is the readings. The reference range is 1-5 and mine was 377. What does this mean? Does that do anything I...

Hello all, Newly diagnosed with type 2 (by me) and my BG has not yet dipped below 8.4 (once) is is usually above 10 despite cutting out all obvious carbs. Bread is what I miss the most. It was 9.9 at the end of a day that I ate nothing but protein and salad leaves just to see what it would do...

Hello all, First post on here but your site helped me go to the doctor on Friday. I think there is a good chance I've been diabetic for some time but the thirst and leg cramps were the last straw. BG was 23.3 so got booked in for proper tests (assume to work out this HC something measure that I...
