Currently 5.3% or 34mmol :)

So I’ve worked incredibly hard and got hba1c down to 5.8% and currently 19 weeks pregnant! Baby is doing brilliantly & so am I! Fingers crossed things keep going in the direction they’re in ❤️

Hi all, I’ve got some home pregnancy tests that are positive. Although I’m excited, I’m also petrified as my diabetic nurse has always been quite forceful and drummed into my head that I shouldn’t even consider pregnancy until my HBa1C is around 6. Mine is currently 8.0 :’( Only me and my...

Hi all! Hope you are all well.. :) I was diagnosed end of November 15' I give myself 4 injections a day at the moment but these last few days I've been really interested in going on an insulin pump. Obviously there are pros and cons with everything but I wanted people's personal experiences...

I was only diagnosed late November so I know exactly how you feel. I hate myself for having diabetes but I know I cannot change anything for now. I have no idea what I'm doing but I have found keeping a food diary with what I'm eating, how much insulin I give and how it affects my blood...

Glad to see I'm not the only one suffering! I'll have a chat with someone today! The stinging is bad enough so maybe time to try a different basal :) xx

I'm using 4mm at the minute. I do try check before I inject. I'm just putting it down to not having enough experience yet[emoji31]

Thank you for that. I'll be sure to ring up first thing Monday :)

I was told to do Lantas in my thigh and my humalog in my belly

Hi all! Me again[emoji56] (I'm sure you'll soon get sick of me asking questions [emoji23]) But basically I inject my Lantas into my thighs and that stings enough as is it. But the last couple of nights I've noticed that I'm starting to bruise? Does anyone else get this? My thighs are so sore...

Here you go my lovely - http://www.prikkedief.nl/?lang=en They do all sorts! Single pen clutches or like mine, the combi clutch. It only shows it in euros but they're quite reasonably priced. And only took a week to get to me![emoji16] x

I know it's not a handbag but I've got this pretty pink clutch to hold all my bits. It's from a company in the Netherlands and they have them in all different colours x

You're all so amazing and have made me feel a lot better! I've only been diagnosed for a couple of months so have avoided doing it in public but had no choice a couple weeks ago. That's when I got funny looks and I did hear one lady gasp and say oh my god hahah! But you're all so right, I have...

I'm on the depo injection and it's brilliant! No time of the months so I've found I don't really have any spikes etc x

Hi all, I recently have found myself having to inject in public. Once I went to the bathroom but didn't like doing it in there. A second time I did it out where people could see. I obviously did it as discreetly as possible but some people did see and I got a lot of glares! What does everyone...

Before I was diagnosed with T1, my GP told me all my symptoms like my tiredness, was all part of daily life and I'd just have to get on with it.. [emoji21]

Thank you all! My hands always seem to be cold so I'll try to warm them before I test to see if that helps [emoji4] x

Hi all, I've been testing between 5-6 times a day and my fingers are getting so so sore! They're getting very bruised :( Has anyone got any tips and tricks to help with testing? Thank you x
