Hi, I want to give myself a kick start in losing weight as i've piled the pounds on since I had a couple of rough patches meant increasing insulin doses therefore increasing my waistline. I am currently using Metformin to try and get my doses down and my numbers in control but it's not...

Hi, I have a friend who is just over 28 weeks pregnant and was told yesterday that as she had a fasting blood of 5.4 yesterday she will have to go to the diabetes clinic. As a type 1 diabetic 5.4 to me is amazing :) but in GD terms is this very high? is she likely to have GD?? she is a larger...

Has this happened to anyone else? I can't seem to keep anything down my stomach is sore all the time and I'm miserable. Does anyone have any advice as to what can get me back on track. I'm not going back into hospital

Hi, I am finding it a struggle to work out how much insulin I need to take when i am eating protein. Today is a bit of a dodgy day, i'm not sure quite what's going on in there. Found that my BG has slowly risen since i've gotten up today, have eaten a couple of sticks of cheese and some...

Hello, Introducing myself again. i have actually come back onto these forums again, used to be a frequent loiterer but went off the rails a bit but now im back. im Type 1 and currently into my 4th week of LCHF and actually loving it. Have learnt a lot from the lovely peeps on here. About me...

Hi, I currently follow a LCHF diet which is working for me so far, however, there are times when I crave a bit of a crunch or something sweet and just wondered if there were any products out there that people swear by just to feel like they are getting a bit of a 'naughty fix'. I know they say...

I've completely lost all control of everything and I just don't know where to begin getting myself back on the right path. I spent a lot of time never taking my insulin due to Diabulimia and landed myself in hospital a few years back and was told i'd nearly killed myself. Didnt seem to sink in...

Hello, i have started going to the gym after work but need to work out when and what to ear before hand. i eat low carb but this isnt practical before i go and do some exercise. i need to eat before i leave work so will need to be something that i can just keep in the fridge here and grab when...

I have just taken my insulin just now and have noticed that I hold my breath as I do it and I do it every time when I think about it :lol: anyone else have any quirky habits?

I need some advice on how to low carb properly. I have attempted many a time to go low carb when I am trying to take better care of myself but I only know the basics and I never stick very long which is silly since my numbers show that it's working for me, I just think I have a terrible...

I don't really have a question as such, just utterly fed up today. I was in hospital with DKA last week, stupid own fault because i've been a complete idiot and not been looking after myself....which included eating rubbish and not taking my insuluin, yes that old chestnut. I got out of...

Is there anywhere else that I can prick myself for testing, my fingers need a break as they are hurting and no longer bleed as well unless I turn the pricker up and this just hurts to the point of bruising :( im fed up if it's not one thing its another *sigh*

Hey all, Just wanted to moan a little. Had a hypo yesterday evening, was due mainly to my lack of thought. Was walking from my bus stop up to my boyfriends work, when im on my own I tend to march on and I just totally didnt think to test my levels before i started walking which mean when I got...

Hi all, Thought i'd share my find with you. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and like to have some sort of dessert after a meal just to curb the cravings. I found today in my local Tesco that they have the Hartleys no added sugar Jelly and it is very low carb. Strawberry - 0.2g per 100g...

My fridge is a bit of a pain and sometimes goes loads colder than it should, I keep my insulin in the shelf in the door but im worried that by going to cold it will have ruined my insulin. Would this be the case?

Might seem a silly question but speaking to someone the other day and they mentioned that diet drinks are bad because they fool your body into thinking it's getting something sweet so therefore raise you BG. personally i don't think it makes much difference to me but i wonder if anyone knows the...

Hi, I have woken up this morning with a sore throat, runny nose and a bad mood :lol: i know when im feeling a bit grotty that my bg's don't ever do what i want them to do which makes me frustrated and i spend a lot of the day testing and and trying to make sure that things are ok. i just...
