Had my omnipod approved!! Means I can loop officially once I get started!! The loop trial with 2 pods was amazing and I got some fantastic results. Excited to get going...

I’m so proud of my little one, she did a scuba experience in the pool today.. with both pod and libre. Type 1 won’t stop us....

So, I have taken the plunge.. self funded Dexcom g6 and I have to say I love this cgm. I was on mdi and setup loop with my numbers and went open loop for a week to test. Great to test the app and the interaction with my g6 (pump simulator mode). I had a consultant appointment and he is putting...

Been pretty quite of late, life is busy! Now on a split dose levemir and fiasp mix. It’s really helped with being able to manage long runs.. As such, I completed the London landmarks half last weekend! This is something I didn’t think I would be able to manage when diagnosed and hypoing after...

So I’ve been pretty quiet of late. Finally got my results from the hospital, GAD antibody was strong positive @2000 units/ml and islet cell antibody was negative - not sure what this means but paperwork says definite Type 1. My honeymoon period of taking 0 fast acting came to a sudden halt...

I am now 10 days in on low carb, low calorie diet. 7 days without insulin.. no lantus and no Fiasp. I feel like I did 12 months ago.. I did a 10k run in an hour, no stops no refuelling, no hypo.. cruised around 4.5 Tonight I thought I would have a food experiment. I had a higgldy pie and 300g...

So, I have taken a little time away from the forum. Was in a bit of a dark place and reading everybody elses woes seemed to compound where I was at. Anyway.. long story short, I have had a turn around and now am facing T1D. This week I started a low carb, low calorie diet to lose weight for...

So I've been reading through this part of the forum and also looking at my own previous posts. Its apparent that those of us newly diagnosed go through some dark places (being overwhelmed, denial, despair, depression). I am a bit shocked at the level of support given when diagnosed. I had an...

Maybe I’m jet lagged, maybe hung over, maybe home sick. Maybe all the above. I really feel that this is a lonely journey.. the wife doesn’t want to talk ‘numbers’, diabetes is all consuming with both me and daughter number 2 being diagnosed t1 in the space of 6 months. I feel like I’m on self...

So how long does it take to see signs of dka? I haven’t taken my long acting lantus in 2 days and only a single unit of fiasp since Friday. Sugars are just spiking after food and returning to normal afterwards by themselves. Ketones are nominal too.. Would appreciate any advice/comments.

So I have decreased my lantus night does by 3 clicks over this week (to 16), upped my icr to 1:20 and having a hard time staying up. We saw this with my daughter and resulted in her collapsing and ending up in hospital. Told about honeymooning. Guess this is what’s happening to me. I’m due to...

@admins, just a suggestion.. but would probably be advisable to add a captcha/email auth to the forum sign up to stop the spammers...

What word would you give when asked about diabetes? For me.. All-encompassing (Nearly one word)

Well.. it certainly looks like this is working quickly. My daily meal spikes are pretty much gone. Had to up my ratios due to hypos, but after this mornings breakfast and run my lunch and dinner spikes didn’t even really register.. Is this the experience of most on fiasp?

So I’m 2 months in T1. Did a weeks skiing which was insightful and decided this would be my week for getting back on the training. Do my first 5k on the treadmill, not fast by any means but felt good. Started at 10mmol with 2units fiasp on board. Dropped gently during the run: 5 minutes later...

I know this might sound weird. But I often think I’ve been misdiagnosed. I know I’m new to this only being 2 months in.. but I get days when I think the doctors are wrong. Maybe it’s just denial? If someone without T1 was to take insulin in the doses I do .. would it cause issues? I take...

I'm interested in others experiences with alcohol and what happens for you guys. Obviously im pretty new to this.. when diagnosed at xmas i was super wary and didnt really drink anything. I have now found red wine doesnt really do anything to my levels, i dont drop overnight or the next day...

Guess the soapbox is the right place for this post. But I just wanted to say thank you to all the active members here who chime in and offer advice. Its been a life changing few months with both me and my 8 yr old daughter being diagnosed T1. We get lots of support from the DSNs on the...

I love the libre, it’s pretty much accurate when testing with bloods. Am I running my levels too tight? I seem to be low a lot.. but usually cruising low rather than hypo. This normal? This weeks estimated a1c is 5.7 - I assume is good? Find it hard to get in with my dsn, only seen her once...

I’ve done a search on the forum and found some old posts related to t2/metaformin and tinitus. But since being diagnosed I have a serious high pitch ringing in my ears. At first I thought it was being high, but I’m now level (ish) and my eyesight has gone back to normal.. this ringing seems to...
