    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    45 for me, which is meant to be exceptional. I think that's the lowest it's been ever. Told to carry on doing what I'm doing, which i think am having too many hypos, lol. Stopping overcompensating and stacking insulin since the last week and feeling much better and in the lower range... Keeping...

    Alternative to Lantus

    I would like to try another insulin and get off Lantus and have some questions. Would I need to change my doses or are alternatives for a long acting similar strengths? Am thinking Levamer (possible wrong spelling?). How do they compare? Many thanks

    Blood sugars rising during sleep

    I get the same issue and have found a way to fix it. Exercise is the way forward to solving it, which stops the sugar in the liver it seems. If I go for a 7 mile bike ride, the next 3 nights are flat as a pancake. Following 4 days of no exercise I'll be flat until 02.30 and then start climbing...

    COVID vaccination

    I think I'll stick to taking vitamin D thank you very much. Isn't it amazing how C19 numbers dropped majorly during the summer time to almost 0 deaths in the northern hemisphere. Says it all really... There's tiny money in companies to take on natural remedies and I think we are being taken for...

    Freestyle libre sensor, causing shoulder impingement?

    I've been taking lantus for some years actually. That's interesting. What have you found and did you change to something else that works better for you?

    Freestyle libre sensor, causing shoulder impingement?

    I have been using this for a year now and since have ended up with a severe shoulder impingement on both arms. Not sure if it can be related as have been assured by Abbots that it only goes into the skin and not to any nerve tissue, however am concerned. Could it be that there's a voltage...

    The Liver And Random Sugar Levels

    I found this interesting. Was slack on cardio exercising for a while as I was really busy in other things and found that my sugar levels have not been flat as they were before. Can someone please share some info on the liver which am guessing it's the liver that randomly throws out more sugar...

    Libre lifestyle pain

    Maybe you're right about the angle. Not easy doing it perfectly straight when jabbing it under the arm. Btw, I've been comparing results with a blood tester. 45 minutes ago the blood tester said 10.2 whilst this libre said 8.2. having watched the results on the libre over the last 45mins, it...

    Libre lifestyle pain

    I've just got the libre kit today and did as am meant to, stuck it under my arm. It's sore and don't like the sensation. Maybe I didn't punch it down hard enough? Maybe it's meant to be a bit sensitive? Would like to know what others feel when wearing one of these sensors? Also as I've got a...

    Type 1 Cholesterol - are these normal?

    I just got these results back and am unsure what to make of it? If anyone has an idea, is my cholesterol ok? Not sure what they mean by Serum Lipids being unusual here and to see a nurse about it. Any ideas on all this, please share your knowledge. Many thanks! Serum triglyceride levels...

    I fixed hashimotos, maculopathy, + dawn phenomenom in a few months

    Sealing up the leaky gut has helped my blood sugars significantly, it's stabilised a great load of issues and there's no doubt more learn about this. At the end of the day, I'm just sharing my experiences about leaky gut and wheat being related to auto immune issues. It's interesting to see...

    I fixed hashimotos, maculopathy, + dawn phenomenom in a few months

    Am sorry, I get that as a parent, I really do. In my heart reckon there's more in this info that I've gathered and if anything, there's a positive with diabetes anyway from having it as a child. That is that we learn to really listen to our bodies beyond anyone else without it. It's ok...

    I fixed hashimotos, maculopathy, + dawn phenomenom in a few months

    Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I was referring to secondary issues of diabetes and autoimmune problems which have been fixed despite what Drs said. As they are to do with diabetes i mentioned diabetes, though didn't mean in my text that I've reversed diabetes, by no means. There has been a...
