    Type 1 Abortion ?

    Hello- I am struggling here at the moment. I could possibly be 4 weeks pregnant and my blood glucose control is terrible (I don’t need a lecture) I hear that abortion clinics require hba1c and are reluctant to give the medical abortion pill to type 1’s... please tell me this isn’t true and that...

    Need help to lose weight, really confused

    So I've been diabetic for 9 years, and have had pretty bad control from time to time. I was recently admitted into hospital because I was in such poor control and had a fear of hypos (which I have overcome) and now my control is perfect.

    High Glucose Drinks

    Was just wondering, I was a bit naughty last night and had a whole can of rockstar, the whole can itself was about 69g of carb. I forgot to bolas for it, but my blood sugars were normal in the morning. Is this normal for sugars to rise quickly and drop down after a sugary drink? Thanks :)

    Developed a phobia

    About 3 months ago I was put on the omnipod, to sort out my high blood sugars and it worked. Hba1c came down from 14 to 7!!! It wasn't until I experienced a horrible hypo right before bedtime that wouldn't come back up for an hour (still don't know why it happened) and I had a few more that...

    Fed up now, need some advice...

    Does anyone have any advice, just on diabetes in general.. (Type 1) I've been diabetic since I was 11, I'm 18 this august. At the start I had really good control, but as I've gotten older it's getting worse. I seem to have no motivation, even though at the back of my mind I think about the...
