Sometimes I inject through leggings or tights if I'm at a restaurant or something and at the table I don't want to start stripping off! I could go to the bathroom of course, but sometimes you don't think and it's more convenient to do it there and then. I would never inject through jeans or...

I know it's easier said then done but if you're new, you will have days like this. Better to just take action when you can and learn from the experience. Some of the time is guess-work and doing corrections. Hopefully they will put you on a DAFNE course where you will learn about CP's and how...

Quick acting/bolus - depending on CP really. Max I have taken is 11U and minimum units I have taken for a meal is 4U Long acting/basal I take a split dose - 30U in the morning and 19U in the evening Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

If you are finding it difficult to find a partner 'willing to accept your medical issues' then the problem is with the person not with you! I'm lucky, I have a boyfriend who is very accepting and always wants to know what my BG levels are, how I'm feeling, etc. Sent from my iPhone using...

I was put on Levemir 2 months ago now. I don't get lumps but I do get occasionally stinging and a lot of bruises! On Lantus I got the same stinging but no lumps or bruises. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Yep!! I love the summer but hate the effect on sugar levels. Feel like I have to constantly eat before I even move to avoid hypo on hot days. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Very true! Sometimes i think how different things would be if I was diagnosed a few years later than at 12 years old. I would of been mature about it. Would rather not have it at all but there you go! Haha! Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Wow..you are very inspiring! I'm not on the pump, I inject my insulin. I'm a little 'iffy' about the pump at the mo, but then I'm still figuring out how to use my knowledge that I got from DAFNE and various other sources. Recently bought a book called Think Like A Pancreas which lots of people...

Yeah slowly getting that belief out of my head now. But that's how my nurse made it out like. Eat what you want when you want, cp's are easy to figure out, etc. Oh well I'll get on with it and figure some stuff out along the way! Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

@Bluemarine Josephine Can I just say your post has really helped me these last 2 days. I took your comments on board and started to have bigger gaps between meals so I could see better what my insulin was doing. Leaving a four hour gap has done wonders and last night and today I've been in...

Aw thank you! - hope this is aimed at me and not another Lucy! Haha! I've had type 1 since I was 12...so....about...15 years. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I have always considered sweetener to be much better than sugar and have never been concerned about my sweetener intake.

Ha! Good! Life is too short not to enjoy a doughnut :)

I do appreciate everyone's comments, kinda disappointed that I thought DAFNE was all eat what you want when you want. Turns out it isn't like that at all! Thought I'd have more freedom!

I have just emailed my diabetes nurse to see if she could get me the meter. Thank you.

It's Kinda hard to have a good time with meals with the work I do. I'm here, there and everywhere and when I go to work sometimes they have already done dinner and the guys (I work with adults who have Autism) want me to sit with them and eat, which is fair enough it's their house and I'm their...

Just a little update.... Had such good numbers today. For me anyway. Woop to me! Lol.
