Hiya! Just had my 2nd Pfizer jab and was wondering if anyone has experienced any side affects with their diabetes after having a vaccine please :) My sugars were quite high after my first but idk if that was down to stress as I had a lot going on at the same time. My manager at work is also...

Hi guys. I recently got a omnipotent experience kit and it’s the first pump I’ve not had a panic attack over the thought of (needle phobia ftw). I was wondering if these can be prescribed or if it’s something you have to pay for etc? I used to pay for Libre sensors and acted as one of their...

Hiya! I didn't know it wasn't a common side affect, but if I'm having a very low blood sugar and my body is reacting to it in a sweat, sometimes flashing lights/ lots of movement/colour cause my eyes to spasm and my head to kind of tic. My eyes go out of control and my head will flick to the...

MASS PANIC is the summary of this morning when I realised it's just over a month before I travel to Japan for 2 weeks. I've so many questions and I want educated answers, as opposed to recommendations that you find on google or something. If you can answer any of these questions- you are my life...

So, aside from Lucozade, what else has had its sugar content reduced? Have Rowntrees Fruit Pastels? Or Jelly Tots?

I've done it- I've officially emptied B&M of all of their full-sugar orange Lucozades. I've got a cupboard and a pantry full of the stuff but of course- I'm slowly going through them, Before I do, I need, need, NEED ideas about what to use as a replacement so I'm desperately looking here for...

Ok so short info: 17 y/o Diagnosed 10 1/2 years ago Type 1 I went to the foot people (forgotten the proper term sorry) when I was first diagnosed, but then they never contacted me since. Recently I got a letter from the foot place saying I'm due an appointment. And they haven't had any...

Going on for 10 years (since diagnosed at 7), I've been bullied the majority of my life for having diabetes. I don't really understand why- I assume it's just because I'm different, but now it's got to a point where I just take it. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I will say something when I feel...

Hey- so this was my first year at college and there's 2 weeks left before we finish 1 of 2 years here. And on Friday my teacher asked me to leave the room because I was doing a blood test. I argued and showed that I completely disagreed with this especially as I was low, but I did as I was told...

10 years a diabetic on the 9th (just 2 hours away). It's mixed emotions, in one sense I'm bricking it, but on the other hand I'm proud of myself. I don't want to make a big deal about it, but I was asked to write about what I've gone through so far. I'm more nervous than anything for tomorrow-...

I've got so many emotions going on in my head right now- in one sense I want to be proud of myself, yet on the other hand I just want to cry aswell. Tomorrow's the day- I'll have been diabetic for 10 years. Which I shouldn't really have any emotion about I guess- it should just feel like a...

Hey, I'm Dana and this March will mark being diabetic for 10 years. I aim to inspire people, and I hope my story could help you- I get that it probably wont, but having the chance to share it kinda makes me feel excited. Ok... Here we go: On the 9th of March 2006, I was a very poorly 7 year...
