I don’t have any problems showering with my sensors with no protection, only time I’ve ever lost a sensor is banging my arm on the door frames, done that a few times but ours are on prescription in the UK so we don’t need to pay for them, we are very lucky, so I just order more. Have had to...

Lol, the mind boggles. Hey I’ve presented to A&E twice before with dehydration but stable BSL at around 5.2 and twice the A&E docs have sent me into DKA by giving me fluids but no sliding scale - hellooooo. Took the nurses and myself to get some insulin going. One time I had to discharge myself...

That’s not very helpful at all from the diabetic nurses. This is obviously causing you a serious issue and needs sorted urgently for you as one day you may not be able to push the top of pen down at all and then you get no insulin. Certainly my longacting insulin comes in disposable pens and I...

Daphne don’t worry 99.8% of us knew what you meant and so did the 0.2% who said they were confused, they were just being pedantic and showing off. xx

Sorry folks thought I had uploaded the video but it won’t let me, just uploads a still photo. She said quote “out of the deaths recorded today across the UK only 30 cases were people who didn’t have underlying health conditions like diabetes and heart disease which are such a definite risk...

Not to frighten anyone but is this not what I have been saying all along re diabetes and coronavirus, think we need to be treated as further up the ‘At Risk’ category than Public Health are advising the Government and NHS Management on. Please watch the short video I have just recorded from BBC...

Thanks again for agreeing with me and your helpful advice. The NHS policy across the board is that ANYONE, not just those who are vulnerable, who can work from home should be working from home so I’m flummoxed why they are not heeding their own policy. Again their excuse is there is a waiting...

Yes my job can be done from home but they have compiled a waiting list of people waiting to be set up with remote access and a laptop but I have my own laptop so believe I just need a dongle. I keep getting told the clinicians are a priority but all the clinicians were provided with laptops...

Hi I am a T1 and have been for 25 years. I work in the NHS and have been fighting for weeks to work from home. We get sent a risk assessment form which was assessed by someone of the sane grade as me in which it sets out section one, which is all people with low immunity either due to their...

Agree with most of your post except advising people to automatically give you glucose if found unwell. Although it is most likely to be a hypo, it could also be hyper, ie DKA where giving glucose would be very, very dangerous and enough to put someone into a coma, just as giving someone insulin...

I had a nuclear medicine scan to diagnose my gastroparesis, whereby you are fed fluorescent cornflakes and therefore the images of the cereal passing through your digestive system are timed. My gastric emptying was really slow and after nearly a year of extreme nausea and vomiting, losing...
