    sick day help!

    The pain is bad, painkillers only just take the edge off. My basal is right for when I'm eating normally but this morning I was at 5.5 and by lunchtime without having ate anything it was at 4.6. I'll bring it down a little tonight and hope for the best.

I've always been very slow to absorb medications, even painkillers...

    Maybe you're a medical marvel from which a cure will be found! Or not lol. I'll be one year diagnosed on may 8th, it's good to hear from others who are in the same situation as me and are doing so well. I get a bit "woe is me" sometimes, positive stories help a lot

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Got a scare from the gp's receptionist when I rang for my blood test results and she told me my HbA1C was high but I saw my consultant a few days later and he told me it's 7.1 and he was perfectly happy with that considering that it was so bad when I was diagnosed last year. I was convinced he...
