Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I was rediagnosed last year with Lada. I had lost a lot of weight before being rediagnosed. In the past year I have put on a lot of weight, but I have found that I have to take more insulin than the normal 1 unit to 10g of carbs. I mostly have to take 2 units per...

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I got a call to get an MRI scan tonight (9/11/20), a cancellation. but I forgot to ask if I had to take my Freestyle Libre Sensor off. I don't have a telephone number to call them back, and I can't get through to my Diabetes team. Has anyone had to take it off...

Hi, I had a frozen shoulder on my left one which lasted about 2 years. I got a cortisone injection which did seem to take the pain away, but I don't know if it really worked or it was just coincidental, that I was passing the painful stage. I still don't have 100% movement. I now have it on my...

I'm on my first Freestyle Libre Sensor, which is due to be replaced tomorrow. On the app is says Sensor ends in 18 hours. Do I need wait until then or can I put a new one on any time tomorrow?

I'm using the freestyle libre. I have the app on my phone, but during the night my husband scans me with the reader. I know I have to connect the reader to my pc to upload the readings, but every time I try it says I have to install a driver, which I have done twice now. Is this normal? In case...

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me. Most of this week I have been feeling jittery and light headed, unstable on my feet and can't speak properly, tongue feels a bit wooly. Its as if I'm about to go into a hypo, but when checking my bg it's at a reasonable level. For example I've just taken it...

Does anyone else feel really hungry after having a hypo? I'm fairly new to having these after being rediagnosed from type 2 to LADA. I started on insulin beginning of March.

Hi, The last couple of days my bloods have been running high between 11 - 13, I think it's due to a cold that's starting on me. I was taking a bit more fiasp insulin to try and bring it down. Last night just before bedtime my bg was 16. I took 4 units of fiasp and tested my bg 30 mins later...

Hi which is the best Calorie Counting App for UK? I'm newly diagnosed t1, LADA and I've been on insulin for a couple of weeks. My DSN and dietitian has now said to count the carbs and work out insulin needed before each meal. I was told to download an app called Carbs and Cals but the reviews...

I have only recently been rediagnosed as LADA, after almost 7 years of being mis diagnosed as type 2. I had been losing a lot of weight and was sent to a diabetes clinic. I started insulin 2 weeks ago and now I can't stop eating! I've put on almost a stone in weight. Coupled with coronavirus...

I'm type 1, LADA to be precise, not long re-diagnosed after being told I was T2 since 2013. I'm now insulin dependant. I also have arthritis in my hips, knees and lumbar and take pain relief medication and just wondering if these can make bg spike? If so does anyone know when the best time to...

Hi I was diagnosed with LADA a couple of weeks ago after being diagnosed with the type 2 in 2013. I was pretty much managing it, but this past year and a few months my hba1c has gone through the roof. That is also coupled with me losing tons of weight. I was never overweight to begin with. I was...

Hi, I'm a newbie, first post. I am wondering how do I tell if I am feeling ill is it linked to my diabetes (type 2)? I've had a really bad headache for 2 days now. I'm not dehydrated, in fact I'm really thirsty most of the time, nor anything else that I can put it down to. My most recent hb1ac...
