Always test before the gym and have fruit juice handy in case of hypos. Test again when done and before driving home....dont go just after eating or correcting....basically test a lot and youll work it out for yourself...everyone is different

Yes I have NLD on my right leg. It's itchy and I have just got my 1st small ulcer

Well worth doing. I did it 6 years ago and haven't had a Mars bar for hypos since lol.

I don't go to my GP regarding my Type 1 - When i joined the surgery they refused to prescribe me a test cartridge for my accucheck machine, because they didn't know what it was and therefore I must not need it. I had to go into the surgery for a meeting with the "diabetes" nurse and show her...

I'd try splitting the dose and see how you get on.

I've been using Humalog & Lantus for around 7 years now and my Lantus dose is split am & pm.

Hi, I have type 1 and take Lantus and Humalog. I started to take Metformin a few months ago in the hope that i'd be able to reduce the amount of insulin i take to help with weight loss. I've just joined the gym and have noticed on 2 occasions this week a higher blood sugar following the work...

I saw my consultant yesterday and mentiond that i want to lose weight, he said I can start to take Metformin - I've been type 1 for 27 years - He advised i start on a low dose and build it up to avoid any side effects, and at the same time reduce my Lantus dose slowly and try to lower my carb...

Hypos can change, I used to get a feeling of pins and needles in my lips and tongue which was strange, i've not had that for years. I went through a phase of having no warnings at all, which was horrible. These days I get warnings, i get a feeling that can be confused with hunger, its quite...

I have fast food whenever I feel like it - at KFC and McD's they list the amount of carbs n each food on the tray liner, you can also ask at the counter for a leaflet, so its easy to work out how much to inject. Other places, after doing DAFNE, its quite simple to work out the carbs in kebabs...

Hi Akash, don't inject in the same place all the time, if you use your stomach, use a different part each time, or the tops of your arms, you can use a chair to rest on to get some flesh to push your needle into or ask a friend to squeeze for you, also the tops of your lets, all around them not...

I work in a hospital and got the time off for DAFNE with full pay :D

Ive had type 1 diabities for 28 years, I currently have 7 tattoo's and am planning my next. I've never had a problem. If you run your blood sugar a little higher than usual before getting the tattoo and take some fruit juice or can of coke with you for during the tattoo, just in case you feel...

7.7 is not too bad actually. on medication or not. I have type 1, my Hba1c was 9.2 in Jan and having done the DAFNE course in March my Hba1c at the beginning of July was 7.2. which is quite good and should get better with time.

are you type 1 or 2/ I have type 1 and test before every meal, otherwise how would I know how much insulin to give (whether or not to make adjustments if my bs is high) I also test if I am about to drive anywhere. I used to test a lot more but have been advised not to test between meals. I...
