Don't let this one restaurant ruin your holiday! I'd complain to the manager then leave and eat somewhere else. When you get home make sure you complain publicly eg give them a really bad review on trip advisor and hopefully others don't go there / they should apologise. I'd assume being...

Try healthy meal prep? I found I would binge eat on rubbish when I was rushing around at work and needed something quick or at home on my own and didn't feel like cooking something. I started cooking big portions of chicken, peppers onion etc or having food from the previous night to warm up - I...

Hi I've just finished the dafne course this week and it was really useful. Seem to have carb counting sorted. I've only been diagnosed about 7 months and have put weight on too. I used to exercise a lot more but find it difficult with gb levels up and down. Sounds like you're doing great. I hope...

Thanks for your help :)

Hi I was diagnosed with type 1 in Dec 2013. I've just completed my Broadcast Journalism MA and I'm looking for jobs. I just wondered if others on here say they have a disability on job applications - many forms are just yes/no. To me diabetes isn't a disability, its more a condition but some...

Hi Kerry - this is really helpful and good news as I am starting a Dafne course on Monday :) My diabetes nurse has been very helpful but says its good to go on this and meet others. I've also been having a few problems, mainly highs in the hot weather so hopefully it will be better controlled...

Hi I'm Kathryn. I have Type 1 Diabetes myself. I am a trainee broadcast journalist at Sheffield University - currently creating a video about pre diabetes and how this can develop into Type 2 diabetes if people don't change their lifestyle. I have a pre diabetic case study, and I'm currently...

Worrying definitely won't help it sounds unlikely that your glucose levels will go low at the moment anyway. Mine were always high at first and still are now sometimes. I've found stress and worrying, especially around exams and deadlines at uni have made mine high, so this might also affect...

Hi I was diagnosed in dec 2013 and seemed fine at first, then when my dr told me about hypos I went a long time worrying before I went to bed, couldn't sleep and would even set alarms in the middle of the night to wake me up so I could check, so you're definitely not alone. But after a while I...

I've been for a run this morning, about 2 miles. My glucose levels were 7.8 at breakfast which is quite high in a morning for me, I had a cereal bar and a banana (I'd usually inject 4 or 5 units for this but just had 2) they were then 18.2 so I did a correction dose they came down to 12.1. I...

Hi i have type 1, but I'm on here as I'm looking for ppl with type 2 who might be interested in being involved in my video. (The press team said it's ok to post a thread on here to try to find people) I'm a broadcast journalism trainee creating a video mainly about pre diabetes but I need a...

Thanks yeah I heard about doing that so might give it a try. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks everyone :) I was told by the dietician to exercise between 10 and 12 - maybe this is because I'm quite newly diagnosed. I read online you shouldn't exercise if GL are above 16/17 as they can go too high. I've bought some small glucose drinks so I'll try sipping those next time I go to...

Kelsie - thanks I'll try that, I'm getting fed up of jelly babies.

thanks, I'll have a look

I was diagnosed a few months ago with type 1 - and since then I've ended up putting weight on. I used to do a lot of exercise such as swimming, running and fitness classes. But now as my glucose levels need to be above 10 to exercise I find I am eating cereal bars or jelly babies just to make...

Hi Brunneria I have already been in contact with the press team at diabetes uk and they suggested using the forum to attempt to find people. Sorry about using this thread - I now have another one and will be mentioning it in a blog on the website. Again, sorry for any inconvenience. Kathryn

yes testing at home would be useful. I have type 1 and often worry before food my glucose levels are too high but often they're low, or vice versa. Also, would anyone who is pre diabetic on here be interested in being part of my journalism video - based on the research with found a third of...

Hi - I'm Kathryn. I have type 1 diabetes, but understand many people have pre diabetes which could lead to type 2. Teabags regarding your message above, 5.8 is really good and about average. As Type 1 I aim for about 6. I'm also a broadcast journalism trainee - and due to my own recent...
