    Athletes Foot... related to diabetes?

    Hi all, I have bad athletes foot, or at least I think that's what it is. I have used creams which do nothing. I work very long shifts and currently work around 60hours a week, on my feet all day. Is this a complication of diabetes? Also, more importantly is it something I should be worried...

    Type 1s: HCLF or LCHF for type 1 diabetics?

    @Freema I have never heard that being vegan can cause diabetes in young children or adults, where did you hear that? I don't even know how that would be physiologically possible.

    Type 1s: HCLF or LCHF for type 1 diabetics?

    So basically, providing you are keeping your blood glucose levels within normal or as near to normal as possible levels, you could potentially eat low, medium or high carb. I was concerned that eating a high carb diet, even when keeping your levels normalised, would have bad long term effects...

    Type 1s: HCLF or LCHF for type 1 diabetics?

    Hi @himtoo, thank you for your reply. Do you think either diet is better in relation to long term effects on a diabetic body? Or do you think any diet is okay, providing your matching your carbs with your insluin intake? I'm starting to think it's okay to eat however I want and that there isn't...

    Type 1s: HCLF or LCHF for type 1 diabetics?

    I'll have a look into that @noblehead thank you. I'm wondering is there even an optimum diet for someone with type 1 diabetes, or can we realistically follow any diet because we have insulin we can give to cover any carbs eaten? People without diabetes have a pancreas that delivers insluin, we...

    Type 1s: HCLF or LCHF for type 1 diabetics?

    Thank you for your reply @noblehead. I currently am eating in the middle as it's how I've always eaten really, although I'd say I'm more high carb, high fat lol. I probably should have been more specific in my post sorry... I would like to know which diet is best for long term health, not...

    Type 1s: HCLF or LCHF for type 1 diabetics?

    Hi all, I'm totally baffled at the moment and am finding this topic is playing on my mind every single day and really getting me down. What is best for someone with type 1 diabetes? High carb, low fat? Or low carb, high fat? When I say best, I mean best for long term health. Which, if either...

    Drank full fat coke... what can I expect?

    Hey guys. Thanks for your messages. After I gave the last 3units it brought me from 18 to 14. So I decided to leave it there and just have my bedtime Lantus of 15 and go to sleep. I woke up at 6.2mmol/l this morning which is awesome although I felt like I had been drugged and found it hard to...

    Drank full fat coke... what can I expect?

    So... I was accidently given and drank a pint of full fat coke. BG was 24mmol/l when I realised. Gave 5 units to bring me to 9mmol/l. Now back up to 18.1mmol/l. Just given another 3 units. I'm hoping this is it done, but I'm a tad scared to go to sleep incase of a huge hypo. Anyone had...

    Foot blister

    Hey @TorqPenderloin, Thank you for your replacement. I was naive in thinking the trainers I was wearing were adequate. I also didn't realise how much walking we were going to do. So sadly was under prepared. I am 29, not overweight and have no other health issues so should be okay then. I am...

    Foot blister

    Still Exhausted After 5 months

    So, I had the blood tests done and the results all came back okay/negative. As did the smear. So what the hell is wrong with me?? It's getting worse. Work has been the only thing keeping me going as when I'm there it's not about me, so adrenaline and responsibility takes over and I get on with...

    Love it! I plan to get one on my wrist at some point, but my work really frown upon tattoos so it's a bit awkward. x

    Still Exhausted After 5 months

    Been to the doctors today who arranged bloods for next week. I then had to see the nurse for the smear test. She asked what was going on with my diabetes so I explained. She was really concerned so said she'd do the bloods then and there. She tested for vit d and thyroid and added on crohns and...

    Still Exhausted After 5 months

    Hey @Nutty72 I'm so sorry to hear that Niamh is tired too. How is she coping with school? Poor thing! Have you spoken to her team about it at all? @VirginiaEngland I have all the symptoms of Autoimmune Thyroiditis so maybe I should mention that. I think I'll ask for thyroid bloods and a full...
