I've been type 1 diabetic for nearly 7 years. My control has been pretty awful for the most part due to mental health problems coupled with not being able to regulate insulin with food ect. Recently I've noticed my feet are becoming painful and there is a numbness to them. This is really...

Hey sorry to hear that. I've noticed that my sugars tend to be higher In the morning and early afternoon. Even with correct insulin dose and even additional units for high correction If it persists I'd speak to your healthcare professional for advice. Hope it gets better

I have been type 1 diabetic for 6 years now and I want to take control back of my life. I have been depressed for 5 years and this has had a major impact o n my overall sugars. To say I have had good control would be a joke, I've been terrible. I want to finally have control over them and get...

Good Afternoon, I am sorry to hear you are having a tough time at the moment. Like you, i have been diabetic for about 3 years. We all have our bad days and weeks but the most important thing to remember is that you're not alone. I always find speaking to a diabetic nurse or doctor when...

Thanks for all the responses. I may point out that its not extreme tremor were im unable to hold something or it comes and goes. Its more of a constant slight shaking of the arms and hands when i put them in front of me or i'm holding something, i notice the slight shaking. Either way ill get...

Hey all, I have been a type 1 diabetic for about 3 years. I wouldn't say my control is particularly good, especially at the moment because of my mental health. I am enquiring whether anybody else experiences tremors, noticeably the arms and hands. They tend to shake a lot and i think its a...

Hey hope your ok, I have been taking sertraline 50mg since last October and my blood sugars have been completely fine. I guess it is important to bare in mind that each medication effects people differently so side effect wise no one is the same. I will add that it is probably a rare...

Hi, What are your thoughts on the upcoming election and who are you leaning towards. I think a big factor is how it will impact our NHS and what this will mean for people with life long conditions. Personally I am voting labour but I don't expect anyone to disclose information on who they are...

Hey, I found that when I was first diagnosed I was very skinny due to the side effects of prolonged high blood sugar. Gradually over time with proper use of my insulin I am at a more stable healthy weight. If anything I kind of miss being skinny. I think speaking to your DNS and your...

Hi all, Just curious to know if your diabetes was completely cured as of tomorrow morning, what's the first thing you would do? I would probably go on a massive run and not worry about my BS levels. When I got back I would pig out on the sugariest snacks and high carb food. Keep smiling

Thank you so much for you kind words. You help a lot in diabetes discussions and I appreciate all the help you give people. I will definitely look into getting a pump as it may help relieve some of the stress I am having. I have been diabetic for almost 3 years so it maybe time.

That is a great idea. I am based in the north west. I need to look into a DAFNE course. What great advice, thank you friend.
