Good Evening! Just a quick note to say that my husband has been diagnosed T1 for 1 year now and so much has changed! We were so scared when it all started, the horror stories, the hypos! It was dreadful. For the first 6 months the only thing that kept us going as this forum and that's the...

My husband was diagnosed in April last year, after a couple of months we've gotten used to everything and Mike's doing really well. The only issue is that he's struggling to gain weight, he lost around 8LB before he was diagnosed and he's always been skinny but he's still losing weight. He's...

I didn't know there was a feud between the south and north :P I think you're all great! Haha! Macclesfield is so small, too small! That's amazing, what an ace dietician! Do you prefer the pump??

I think that's going to be the next step :) the consultant was so unhelpful, I'm sure it'll get sorted :D Llandudno is my favourite, I'd happily more there! It's just so peaceful and the people are so nice! I live in Macclesfield and it really does sucks!

I'm glad you got sorted! 3 and half years is a long time! Thanks so much for the info :) really appreciate it! He's just down really because he literally works so hard to control his sugar and he often says "Maybe I should just stop caring and let the number go out of control." This is...

Thanks very much, I'll have a look now :) thank you!

Thank you both so much for replying, means a lot :) I'll pass that all on to Mike, he really appreciates your help and thank you for being so understanding :) x

It is isn't it?! Because you want to take everything on board. I remember going to Sainsburys before Mike was discharged and buying whole meal pasta, sugar free jelly, sugar free cordial and digestives incase he had a hypo! That is literally all I bought I was that confused :P Hope you're doing...

One thing I forgot to say was definitely listen to your diabetic team and them only - when my hubby was first diagnosed and admitted to hospital, the nurses gave him so many mixed messages "Are you hungry? I'll get you some toast, toast is fine!" "You can't drink that orange juice, it's full of...

Nothing wrong with the odd McDonalds :) nuggets, wraps and fries are always fine for my hubby - burgers are the worst!

Lovely to hear from you and I hope you manage to work out your levels soon :) I'm sure you will! My husband avoided all sugar for the first two months of being diabetic, now he eats pretty much what he wants because of carb counting and manages to keep his sugar around 6/7 - even after scoffing...

Hi all, Not posted in a while, my husband was diagnosed in April with T1 and this site literally got us through the first couple of weeks and then it all got easier, we couldn't have done it without you guys though :') So, here's the thing, Mike's GP referred him for a pump, saying he would...

Did anyone else see Paul in EastEnders inject insulin tonight?? What the hell? He injected it for two seconds, didn't check his sugar or dispose of the needle!! So annoyed.

We have this problem when staying with my partners parents. They buy in really carby food (crusty bread, pizza etc.) and when my T1 hubby says he cant eat those types of food, they reply with "Yes you can, it'll be fine, stop being fussy." Drives me MAD.

hi and welcome! This forum is fab, I hope you're doing okay, chin up and all that!x

me again, sorry for posting so much! Last night, after a horrible week, my husband admits he's fed up and sick of his diabetes. We've been doing really well since diagnosis in April but this past week has been hard; sugars ranging from 5-18. Last night he had to force himself to eat before bed...

hello and welcome to the forum :) I hope you're having a lovely weekend xx

hi everyone, thank you so much for your lovely posts. I eventually fell asleep and we had a peaceful night. BS this morning was 7. I knew when he had the Lucozade after the glucojel we were over treating the hypo, I just can't bare to see him unwell. From now on we just wont use the gel. Since...

Posted earlier about my husband having hypos. please don't judge us for this: Mike had a hypo before of 3.4 and felt terrible, worst he's felt. We've never used the glucojel before but thought we'd try it, had the whole tube and still felt terrible after 15 minutes so he had some Lucozade and...

You guys are so helpful, I really do appreciate it :)
