I was sent an urgent (hmm... 9th Feb) press release from my Doctors today, (nothing from my diabetes team or Abbott directly obvs), for anyone using the app on android or Libre 3. Hope this helps anyone having problems.

A year after T1/LADA diagnosis with that whopper of an HbA1c, my Endo repeated my GAD, IA2 and ZnT8 antibody tests before Christmas to see how I am getting on; I dropped to non-diabetic range within 3 months and have stayed that way by refining my low carb diet, exercise and glucose hacks...

Just wanted a place to vent, as I have been stewing on this all day... (Warning: 1st world/middle class diabetic problem ahead) I went into Waitrose this morning to see if they had any Liv Life low carb bread delivered, because I really, really, really fancied a turkey sandwich, and when I...

I had my first 3 month review yesterday and need to share. I was 62kg at diagnosis, thanks mostly to the ‘undiagnosed diabetes’ diet, from a lazy lockdown max of 80.5kg BMI 29.9 this time last year. I’m now a happier and healthier 57kg, BMI 21.2. I’ve consciously ‘exercised’ since diagnosis...

Hi, I think this should be simple to answer, hoping those with more than a couple of months experience will know if I am worrying without reason. In the last fortnight my pre-breakfast 7am BG has risen from an average 5.2 in the fortnight before to 5.7. At the same time I have returned to my...

I am stuck 'diagnosed by nurses' as Type 2 - I haven't posted in the LADA or T1 forums, as not (yet) diagnosed and on the 12month+ wait list to see a consultant, (unless I can go private, which I am actively looking into). Apologies to any who have already read my sorry tale on other threads...

Here I am again ready for a good moan/cry - I called the NHS booking team this afternoon and was told that my diagnosis referral to the consultant had been graded as 'routine', and currently in excess of 12 months waiting time for an appointment. I have put in for call backs from both my local...

Has anyone had experience of being graded before seeing an endocrinologist and whether my 'presentation' would class me as 'urgent' or 'non-urgent'? Please excuse my lack of knowledge if this happens to everyone. Brief recap - HbA1c 129.5 mid December - told suspected T1 by local diabetes...

I was diagnosed on 10th December with suspected T1 by the Diabetic Nurse at my surgery, and this was changed to T2 on the 14th December by the hospital team who requested GAD and urine C peptide tests just to be sure. I have been on 4 metformin/day for a week now, working up from 1, no insulin...

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed (T1) on 10th December after a multitude of blood tests for back pain and weight loss with a subsequent HbA1c of 129.5! I'm 51, have lost 20kg in the last 6 months (without trying), now 61kg, and was immediately put on insulin by the Diabetes nurse at my surgery. 4...
