Just ordered mine and was hoping this would help as I drive a lot. Disappointing to hear the DVLA stance on it. Looks like I won't be solely relying on the Libre when it comes which I naively hoped. How long does the sensor last is it really 10 days? It is a huge financial cost to find £100 per...

Very frustrated with a high A1c of 10 I desperately need the Libre. Rang in September and went on waiting list. Rang today for update and they couldn't find me on the list!!! So back to the start. The people I speak to sound fed up and like I'm an inconvenience

himtoo it's good to hear you access a group for support and thanks for sharing that with us.

Hi just wondering if anyone on this forum living with diabetes has tried the Blood Type Diet? Dr D'Adamo the founder of this diet reports that Type B's have the tendency to develop insulin issues including other things. I am a Type B and would be interested to know how true this could be amongst...

Signed!

Thanks Giverny I will get something to you once my university approve it- many thanks for your response!

Hi Everyone, Its great to see all the different types of research going on. I am struggling to find out how I might go about getting ethical approval from this website to go towards my masters research degree. I would like to conduct a on-line questionnaire targeting type 1 adults. Can anyone...

Anna29 - the example you give about prisons interests me. It illustrates and supports my notion that counselling needs to be part of a holistic care package to help with all aspects of social welfare situations in society. Using offending behaviour and prolific offending as a bench mark as to...

I respect JTL that you answered No to the question raised and I am pleased it has raised a debate about the subject. I would like to see counselling offered as part of the current care package offered to Diabetes. It is about choice nothing else. It maybe that a person living with diabetes never...

Hi Sally66 I think you raise some interesting points about employment and diabetes. I think it is just one of the challenges we face. I know personally I have had a hard time explaining how living with Type 1 effects my job to those who know very little about the condition. More education about...

Yes your spot on there Faye but I got the impression it was a production line

I must say having diabetes effects every fragment of my life to date. I had to unfortunately have a tooth extracted due to the root being rotten. I waited 9 months on an "urgent" waiting list to get it removed. I lived with a low grade infection for that time effecting my blood sugar levels and...

yes i did and had a similar result to you. Awful symptoms as like you I am petite in frame but looked pregnant. If I eat too much fibre or wheat I am in trouble.Stress aggravates it but avoidable most of the time.

Fayfaye1429 do you mean flaxseed and chia seed? I have IBS so need to be careful with any nuts or seeds.

I eat chocolate or cake when I want too in moderation and account for it with insulin. The more I'm told I can't have something the more I want it psychologically. Coffee is my downfall though

I love star bars too. Donnellysdog flaxseed made my hair super greasy when I tried but haven't tried chia seed. So no bread or pasta? Or gluten free ok? I like the change [emoji38]

I personally always under estimate my insulin when carb counting but I have slow transit too so effects sugar levels.

Did you carb count jonnyjibbsuk?

Do you think it's a case of chicken and egg here?

How about a petition for more emotional and psychological support for diabetics and families but also those with a chronic illness?
