Hey I haven’t been diagnosed yet, I am also a type 1 and was taking metformin too.. I was thinking the bloating and wind issue is due to that but they have changed me to a slower release metformin so it’s made a huge difference but I still have issues.. I can completely stop taking metformin...

Any diabetic tried over the counter medicines for IBS that worked for them?

I was working full time until March when things went all over the place, for sure I wasn’t as careful as I am now due to not having much time in the day to focus on health. I do miss work but I’m also happy for this break because it made me change my habits for the better. Staying in doors most...

That’s amazing [emoji1319][emoji1319]!! Are you back to work now than? I have been off since March & went back twice in between but for a short period... I have never been on a course but I have been educating myself through this forum & researching online, I would like to go for one for sure...

I’m grateful*

57 is really good and I know it will improve further [emoji4], I’m also on novorapid/lantus but I also take metformin due to insulin resistance 5 years ago. It does have stomach related side effects( bloating) but made my hb1ca drop from 120 to 73, so I’m not grateful.. did you ever attend carb...

@dani96xx I also once met a girl at the airport who was a diabetic since age 8 & had two girls, they were healthy but she did go through one tough pregnancy..and yes it’s defiantly hopefull just to hear that others in the same position as us were able to have children. what medications are you...

@dani96xx yes that’s exactly why I would like to hear peoples experiences, I have been a type 1 since I was 22 and now 32, I would like to have children but inside I’m so afraid of the complications. My hb1ca is 73 and it’s always been that way. X

Just have a few questions for type 1 diabetics who are either trying for a baby or have been blessed with children. How difficult was conceiving? And the whole pregnancy?

I’m a diabetic type 1 for 11 years now, I’m trying to get healthier and working out three times a week, eating more meals with altleast 4 hours gap and taking protein too. at times my muscles gain looks good and than if I get high blood sugar levels I notice the muscle shrinks and than gradually...

Is there another drug that similar to metformin without the side effects?

@JMK1954 I only take two insulin and metformin so it could be a side effect caused by one of them

@sleepster I read somewhere that diabetics can develop gastroparises if they have had high blood sugars for long period of time. So I was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues

Any type 1 diabetic suffers from a lot of wind and bloating? Would like some advice on how to fix it

Yes I agree just like I figured out that I was insulin resistance and convinced them to put me on metformin. I do think the libre will help me a lot in terms of how much insulin I need so it’s worth a try before last option is pump. I just don’t know if I can get it on nhs, but I guess the pump...

Do you recommend I try something else?

I think I’m ok with lantus because I was taking higher and than I would go into hypo during the night. My hormones are different during the day and I need more insulin. The meals one I could be wrong but than again I don’t do carb count or wait 4 hours before eating something again. I think if I...

That’s really good compare to mine, I take lantus 12 in the morning and 7 at night and than depending on what I’m eating I take novorapid 8-12 units with every meal. To be honest I’m bad with carb counting, did you get any complications when you reduced your hb1ca within 3 months?

I like the glucose meter libre, it’s more manageable and I can hide it better and even not have it on when attending weddings but that’s another one of my concern. I don’t know why they didn’t offer this to me.

I agree that 10 years is a long time and one day it will catch up. What pump are you using right now?
