Look, no one enjoys injecting and everyone gets sick to death of it but if you're not willing to inject multiple times per day (which will give you more control, better quality of life and allow you treats and as close to a "normal" life as possible) then speak to your diabetes team about taking...

Are you sure she isn't taking or do you just suspect? Have you asked her why in a way that doesn't seem accusatory? When I was 20 my hormones changed and made my sugars very erratic and made me feel really ill and like it wasn't worth the pain of injecting or stress of testing when I knew it'd...

It's on your phone so you won't be able to have it in the room. Do you not have the libre meter or even a spare BM meter to take in with you? I did 5 years of university exams and never had an issue. You need to declare that you have a medical condition. Of course hypos aren't nice and leaving...

I've literally just travelled with them and didn't even know I should have declared it! I had the basic sharps letter but other than that just had what I needed on me, and my partner can treat anything that potentially could happen (unlikely as it is) so didn't think anything of it! So they...

Probably was regular coke. That's happened to me before and I felt sick as, then when I got home and tested it was 30+. That made me a lot more cautious.

I have a tad bit of retinopathy I was really worried about at first, but with switching to the pump it's actually clearing up by itself. I'm not sure it'll ever go away but my sight has improved and everything. Even if there are minor changes, there's always hope

Hi, I get terrible headaches when my sugars are low or high - when my control was bad after regime switch I had them all the time. I was teenaged then too, and was equally opposed to not admitting problems and not testing my blood sugars. One day I woke up and realised how important it was to...
