Thank you peeps! I am still consistently trying to have good control by actually testing my blood and actually thinking about dosage and writing in my diary. I think the key thing for me is that I've had a major breakthrough in accepting that I have diabetes and always will have it and that...

Didn't sleep a wink :( have an appointment for 10.30 x

I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow! As part of getting back on the good control horse since joining the forum I've sorted myself out and should be getting blood results tomorrow with the nurse, dreading seeing her because she only ever tells me her random knowledge of diabetes and it's a...

ConradJ, you're right about antibiotics when they're needed, I think I've struggled a bit with deciding if I deserve to go to the doctor almost... Kind of like there are people more ill than me so I'll avoid the doctor so that they can go. It's silly I know but the forum is helping me to see...

Yep, bad chest infection, I feel this time is worse than other times where I haven't felt the urge to seek help or advice! I go to a university GP which which is the worst practice I've ever been at but at least you get seen same or following day. Thanks for that Adrian, I just needed to know...

Hey everyone! I have bronchitis at the moment; self diagnosed due to repeat episodes. I'm fully aware about how antibiotics work so have avoided them or asking for them for years now. The problem is that paracaetemol and related relief meds shall we say provide me with no relief whatsoever. I...

Good luck Seriously and let us know! :)

I was confused by what you meant Seriously but I see the point now. Agreeing with spiker here, I don't take basal at dinner time or bed time or getting up time, just 12 hours apart at 9.30, sometimes that coincides with eating but that doesn't matter.

Hi seriously Sax, this might be incorrect but thought I'd try and offer some info that may be of use. Not sure if you've done DAFNE but I was told to split my Levemir 12 hours apart due to the action time...? I had a lot of hypos prior to this but haven't since I split the dose that way. I've...

Wow, this is well said and kind of upsetting. I was diagnosed in teens and my family haven't spoken about diabetes for years so I feel very close to this situation. In denial after 9 years still which is why I'm here (the forum) ahhh. Best of luck to you with maintaining and improving your health!

Awesome! Thanks. Looking forward to the journey.

Hi and thank you :)

Hi billybadger and noblehead, thanks for the welcome! :) I have such a big list of qualms and questions that I don't even know where to start! I think first things first is finding a GP in the NHS that gives a ****. I've given up going to my GP, a notification flashes up every few months on...

Oh no, I've been on Levemir the entire time, I wonder if my BG would improve if I changed.

Hidey hi campers! The name's Clarice and I've been type 1 for 9 years, poorly controlled and in constant fear of the future. Whey hey. Looking forward to chatting to all the fellow diabetes peeps :)

Stephanie, your blood glucose is very similar to what mine was for months after diagnosis. Don't worry about it right now! This time is for getting on with diabetes with what you know so far and don't let it over complicate in your mind, one thing at a time :)
