What's your reason why it's a yes for you? Tell me about your positives with it please :)

Hi Hannushka, I thought I was going to give you some useful info, but I ready your post wrong! the only way you can change this is by speaking with the diabetic team and them adjusting your insulin. I know during pregnancy you do have 'spurts'. During my 4 pregnancies I noticed I had to...

Hi Melanie. Its a difficult one. I'm not good with diet, or others' diets lol, but I'll have a go. and I don't mind if you skip the social niceties lol. I want to mention some foods you may not have thought of, or you may have but no good for you. but could give you an idea. So, here are a...

Haha the same thing happened to me! I tried to scratch it off! lol. I had 2 children, a pram, heavily pregnant and a child's insulin pen! the nurse felt embarrassed to give it to me :P

Hi all, Question..... Not sure about having a pump fitted. Pros: more flexibility, maybe? Cons: not getting dosages right, overdosing, causing more issues with Hypo's I have been t1 diabetic for almost 27 years. First 10 years injecting mix insulin twice ad day, 12 hourly. during third...

so this answers my question I asked previously to one of you other comments. I only had the Libre fitted a year ago, game changer for me! My haba1c (whatever they're called) levels came down from 110 to 69 by June! I asked about an alarm, as I thought the Libre had an alarm with it and was told...

When i was pregnant and first went onto fast acting insulin (20 years ago) the insulin was too strong for me. they had to give me a junior pen which has the 0.5 dose setting. I was like a child at the age of 22! lol I only needed 0.5 unit per 10 grams of carbs for dinner and tea. 1.5 per 10...

What is a Libre 2?

What is Miao Miao (I thought was an illegal drug) and a xdrip? and how do you get alarms on a Libre?

Thank you Zand. As I have mentioned before, I am struggling with my symptoms. and I've not yet had a diagnosis of Long Covid. I would like to ask if anyone else has suffered with these symptoms and have been struggling with their sugar levels, particularly T1 diabetics. My sugars, currently...

Hi Briony, You have spikes from exercise? that's new to me. I'm sorry to hear this though. I'm glad I started to look on this site, as its full of info, and learning new things, even after a life time of living with diabetes. are you on fast acting insulin?x

Thank you Zand, I am quite slow with technology, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it :) Think I'm going to enjoy getting used to this.

Hi Ellie, Thank you. I was diagnosed in 1994. How long haveyou had it?

Thank you, again, Zand. I understand now. Like you say the type of diabetes is irrelevant to the long covid symptoms and I totally appreciate your advice. Its helped me understand that I'm not the only one suffering. I hope you improve soon. As I do myself too. Jusy annoying that my doctors seem...

That's perfect! Thank you. I had covid symptoms too, back in March, before lockdown, so no test, I isolated 7 days then. Went back to work, 4 days later I was off again with symptoms and again on isolation 7 days. In November I only had cough and tested positive for covid. I always take vit...

I guessed you were. Its he accent that gives it away ;) thank you for your help :)

Eh up Saskia. :)

Thank you again. I really appreciate this. I didnt go to hospital with covid as I didnt have any symptoms at the time, only a cough. I only tested for it because my son thought he had it his test came back negative on the same day mine was positive. I've been having all these other symptoms...

Yes, I was prescribed them in November. But due to my symptoms, I thought they were originally side effects to taking the statins. I told my gp and she told me to stop taking them for now, make sure it's not the statins. As I can never get through to my surgery, then when I do it's a completely...

Thanks Mike, I wasn't hospitalised when I tested positive for Covid. I've always struggled with cholesterol level. I only mentioned that bit due to my bleeds. but the blood pressure hasn't helped towards that now. and I'm sure all my other issues are caused by something else, which I'm inclined...
