Amazing! Thank you so much for your reply ❤️

Thanks again for your reply :) It's just difficult for me as I'm learning at my university course all about how every woman has a choice, it's their bodies etc but in reality when it comes down to it many women aren't offered a choice, and I feel like this even from pre-conception! I know...

Hi Abby Thanks for your reply. I'm just wondering if you know of any evidence of placenta deteriorating after 37 weeks? Did you get the info from a midwife etc? It would be really great to have a read. I was under the impression health professionals want to induce due to increase risk of...

Hi Everyone I'm hoping this post doesn't turn into a rant but just needing some advice from other diabetic mums/mums to be! Bit of background, diabetic for nearly 20 years, control has been good for the past 7/8 years, hba1c around 45-50 and steady. I'm a massage therapist specialising in...

Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a rut and needing some advice. I'm also very aware of how lucky I am to have the Libre on prescription (after 18 months of self funded) so do not want to seem like I am moaning, it is a wonderful tool and it has really helped me! However, past month or so I have...

I try and stay away from drugs as much as possible (which is ironic pumping insulin 24/7 lol). I take ibruprofen/paracetamol if my head gets really bad and it doesn't touch it at all. It feels like an energy block in my head, it's really hard to describe. I had crazy blood sugars on Sunday so...

So this might be a diabetes related question, but it also might not... I was diagnosed type 1 at 9 years old but one of my earliest memories is having excruciating headaches at about age 4/5 and literally screaming on the sofa in pain. I've pretty much had these headaches ever since, sometimes...

Hi Vic I went to the post office and they said if I get a letter from the doctors saying why I needed to post it then if customs have to open it then that should be okay. Am sending it off tomorrow so wish me luck!

Hi Smile Just wanted to say that you have at least 4 people now saying that they have applied for the working holiday visa and everything was absolutely fine and easy. My advice, stop panicking, apply and see what happens! All will be okay. Australia's is a westernised country and thousands of...

Does anyone have any experience of this? I'm needing to send some to the US or Mexico whilst away for a year travelling. I know Roche won't send them so hoping I can get my mum to post them to me. Any advice appreciated!

Hi guys Some of you may have read that I'm off on a big trip with my boyfriend in February. 12 months through America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Very excited and have been getting all our final bits organised. I've travelled before but this was when I was just on pens so a lot...

Ive sent that to the practise manager so hopefully I will hear back from her soon!

I had a working holiday 1 year visa and just put well managed diabetes on the forms and i didn't have to have a medical!

Having problems with my new surgery - I will add the email I've just sent to the practise manager below as you will hopefully get the jist! Has anyone else had any similar problems? Thanks Hi I am a new patient at your health centre, having moved to the area from Kent recently. I'm a type 1...

Thanks guys! I just use my stomach at the moment, i try and use the whole area and move them from each side every time I change the cannula. I used to use my leg but I caught it and got a REALLY bad infection which knocked me out for weeks, so slightly scared of using my legs again. My fat...

Yes think thats my next step! I can reasses after I guess! Thank you

I've been eating low carb for probably about a year, very low carb for the past 3 week or so. This has been going on a while, I've had other issues that i've been sorting out including allergies to needles amongst other things, so now time to crack the spikes. I've been on the pump for coming up...

Hi Forum! I have a couple of questions that I would love to find the answers for! I wasn't sure whether to do two threads or one,but I thought i'll stick it all in one and see what happens! Basically me and my boyfriend are travelling for a year as of February, visiting California, Mexico, all...

8am Woke up with a really dry mouth and thirsty. Did BS - 12. Must have eaten too late last night. Gave 2 units of insulin to cover high. 8.30am breakfast, low carb so had 3 sausages, an avocado and some pepper. Gave 0.7 units to cover the sausages. 11.21am pop to mums for a cuppa, get half way...

There's a great book by Ginger Vieira called your diabetes science experiment I found it really useful when I changed my exercise routine! Definitely worth a read, there's a kindle version too.
