    Does it get better? Tell me your experience

    Was going to post this in the type 1 forum but for some reason it says I don't have permission....anywhooo.... I was on mixed insulin, HumulinM3 for quite a while. Decided to give DAFNE a go and was told I needed to change my insulin. I'm on Humalog during the day and Levemir at night...

    Very hard week so far...

    Started DAFNE on Monday. I've been type 1 for 15 years and the amount of info I had wrong was shocking! On Tuesday I got changed from my mixed insulin (Humulin M3) to Levemir and Humalog. I'm struggling so much to get my levels to go down and be reasonable. It's in the high teens (15-19mmol)...

    Still get frustrating days!

    Don't ever feel like you're the only one! Today has been horrible for me. Started high...even higher 2hrs after breakfast. Just about to have lunch and a little high. It's just not working for me today. Can't tell why. Thing is I can't do corrections at the moment as I'm on HumulinM3, I will...

    How did you prepare for your baby?

    I've been told that to have the best chance for me and baby is to prepare. To give you some background, I was in a long...long relationship and he was never interested in having children. I did suffer a miscarriage in 2010 and I really believe it was because I didn't have tight control. I'm...

    For the ladies

    Oooooooh woe is me! Facing 'womanly issues' and craving sweets like mad! I already overindulged at lunch and now have a headache which means my levels must be high. I really really don't want my diabetes at the moment just so I can eat loads of chocolate. What do you do at the time of the...

    Blood sugar levels, what's normal.

    One thing I've noticed massively on here is everyone is so different with their levels and what they consider normal or high or low. Considering we apparently all need to aim for the same target! Just now at 4:35pm my blood sugar is 8.4 - I'm well pleased with that! [emoji5] but some people...

    Better control for future

    Been type1 for 15 years. Not the best control, won't bore you with details. But lately my love life has taken a completely different turn and I'm with a man who wants a future with me. I have never thought of having children (previously 10 years with a bloke who didn't want any) but now, well I...
