    Diabetic Tattoos

    Hi All, Interested in the above - does anyone have any? Not sure they're advisable as a replacement to a medical alert band but I'd like to think someone with relevant knowledge would see it and something would click!

    News: Jamie Oliver urges Government to ban selling energy drinks to children

    I'm not sure whether i agree with stopping kids from doing certain things rather than teaching them about nutrition. Before i was diagnosed i didn't have a clue about nutrition at all - couldn't read a label and see how good/bad something is. I really don't understand why more teaching isn't...

    My Pet and Me - Alert Dog

    If i remember correctly - when you're low your breath is meant to smell like pear drops. Pretty sure the animal can pick up the scent and effectively be trained to jump on you when it picks up this certain smell. I had a look into it a while back and there are a few charities that supply dogs...

    Amazon Echo

    Never actually thought of using my Echo for Diabetes related issues. There are a number of apps that can be voice controlled with the Echo - i wonder if you can tell alexa your blood sugar levels and she can keep track and tell you the average etc

    Educational games for children with T1

    Passing on info to help with carb counting would help tremendously! Maybe incorporate a simple basal test idea too. Put night night time level and and morning level into the app for a few days and it suggests changes into their insulin regime?

    Educational games for children with T1

    I sometimes wish i was diagnosed before Uni so i could have aimed my dissertation on the development of treatment. I think your idea is great and i'm sure it will get a lot of backers (kid sin school testing for you). Maybe a drag and drop nutritional game...various foods cascading with the...

    Going "Out Out"

    I'd say the best thing to do is make sure you eat before you go home - don't inject for it either. If not, as your body recovers you'll find yourself going low in the night and if you're quite ****** it can be dangerous. Just check the drinks you're having too don't have mixers that aren't...
