Hey folks. Just quick one really. I’m really struggling to lose weight despite eating 1400 calories a day, walking 10,000 steps and running twice a week. In fact. I’m putting weight on and it’s really upsetting. It’s not muscle mass as my clothes are seriously tighter. Has anyone with T1 had...

Hey folks Can anyone recommend a type 1 friendly sleep aid. I've had a few months where my sleeps been interrupted for one reason or another and it's impacting on my mood and how quickly I become frustrated. I've started to feel low and think if I could kick start my sleeping routine with a bit...

Hi guys, I had surgery on my tummy in June as a consequence the whole area is painful and is likely to be for another few weeks. This means I have only been using my thighs to inject so no rotation (which is what I would normally do), today I have noticed small bumps on each thigh and am...

Morning all (maybe one for the girls!) I had surgery at the end of June and was advised to cease taking my contraceptive pill a month before which I did. It also took me two months for my cycle to resume meaning I've only just been able to restart taking my oral contraceptive. I've been back...

Hi guys. Do any of you relate or have any experience of this, on Sunday I had a hypo at 10:30pm wheere my sugars dropped to 2.4, I was convinced I was coming down with a sickness bug because I felt so ill (I wasn't it was just the low!) but my gosh, it took me 2 hours and a load more sugar than...

Morning folks. I was diagnosed with type 1 in 2013 and have mostly had really good control. Before Christmas I noticed they were raising and have continued to do so into 2017. I had an appointment with my diabetes team a week ago who decided that they would change my long lasting insulin from...

I've just gone to check my blood sugar after tea and my machine doesn't recognise the strips. It remains blank. I've changed the batteries and it remains the same. Ive also tried a different set of strips. Anyone else experience this? What can I do? I'm newly diagnosed type 1 and panicking...

Hey folks. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and after weighing up our options we feel its safest for our baby to deliver by c-section (my last pregnancy resulted in an emergency one due to 10lb 9oz baby). I know this is silly but I'm really panicking about something going wrong. What are your thoughts...
