Currently 68, have been working on getting it down for ages! This time last year it was 73 x

This was my problem when I was going onto a pump! I thought I’d be best with the accu-check as I liked the idea of the handset and I wasn’t keen on the idea of getting something with a tube attached to me out in public (my issue at the time - I’d never inject in public etc) and I knew the brand...

Hiya, does anyone know of any diabetic meet ups/groups around Manchester?

I changed from lantus to levemir just over a week ago and now am struggling to get sugars down. Hoping I just need to alter the dose and not that levemir doesn't work for me as I'm not a big fan of lantus. It aches for me for ages after I inject, I think like the nippy thing, but currently...

It's definitely long-acting, my sugars start climbing after short-acting has worn off. It happened before, years ago when I was on lantus and I managed to fix it after a few days of fiddling but I can't remember now if I put units up or down. I think I'll just have to trial and error again.

So I moved from lantus onto levemir just over a week ago and changed unit for unit as I was on split dose, but my sugars are bouncing back and I've had a complete blank as to higher or lower the doses to fix the problem. It's holding me too high, so I'm dropping to a decent level then an hour...

Yea I missed my 125mg thyroxine and my sugars went up to 24 and I struggled the rest of the day to get them back. Wasn't until I realised I'd missed thyroxine that it made any sense to me.

When I first took control of my own diabetes I tended to keep my levels higher than my Drs would have liked as I was anxious of hyping at school, and how people would react. It took me a while to get out of this habit, it felt like a lot to handle at first, so keeping them higher crossed off...

I've been T1 for coming up 20 years and have never been told or talked to about depression by diabetic Drs or nurses. I wish I'd been told sooner, this is the first time I've heard anything about it.

I recently went to Five Guys in Manchester Trident centre and they had nearly 50 different diet drinks! And it was free refills, so I tried as many as I could and spent the next 3 hours peeing every 10 minutes. Yea so needless to say I don think I've ever been so excited in my life (sad I know)...

Ah I have been doing this for nearly 20 years :) I used to use the pee sticks when I was a kid, now I can normally tell, but when it's from a tap and they don't tell you if its Pepsi or coke I'm less sure of myself, and I wear these now to try and make people think, and make sure I try the...
