Help! I’m new to the freestyle flash monitor and my first sensor just fell off after only 4 days! Does anyone know if they will replace it for me as I have to buy them myself and it’s a bit of a waste of money for me if they don’t :( I’m just about to put a new sensor on too so if anyone has any...

I exercise 5 days a week for roughly an hour each time. I usually go to classes like circuits and body attack at my local gym. Every time I exercise I sweat instantly, as soon as I start moving. Everyone else in the class seems fine, only sweating a little, but I am dripping! My face goes really...

Just got something on my mind and I need you lot to confirm something for me. I was out with a couple of my friends (two women who are happily married to each other) about 2/3 months ago. We had been out to the theatre and then went for a couple of drinks down town. I didn't drink much seeing...

Hi, my names Beth I'm type 1. Still in the honeymoon period I believe. For about a week now I can't seem to get my sugars down, they haven't been lower than 10! I've put my lantus up to 28units a day (it was 22 units before all these high sugars). But it hasn't really made a difference ! I'm...

I have type 1 diabetes, my sugars are normal ( 5.7 at the moment ) but I need to pee every half an hour, I've not been drinking more than normal so it can't be that. It's been like for just a day. But I'm also tired all the time and my whole body is aching. Which has been going on for 2 weeks...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if having diabetes gives you a higher chance of developing an overactive thyroid?? I have had T1 diabetes for 5 months now and recently been really tired and lethargic all the time, I'm at the point now where I have to have a nap every afternoon to be able...

Is it just me or do other people have really strange dreams when they go hypo in the night when you're asleep? I always wake up so confused ... Maybe that's just the low sugars though haha Beth Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hello, I'm 19, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in November last year. I was hoping to chat with someone around the same age as me that also has type 1 diabetes. Only just came across this forum, it didn't even occur to me that there would be anything like this, where I can talk to people...
