I've recently had to change my correction dose, I found that it wasnt working as well as it used to. Am not sure if its because am taking more care of myself now and eating correctly or my hormones are changing so on so forth. Most of the time I'll check an hour or so after eating as you got to...

That's great news!!! am due for a check up on Friday so ill let you know what they say :D not looking forward to it though because I know I'll be over 13% but I've only had normal levels for a week so I cant expect a miracle but hopefully when they see me again in a months time it will change...

I've been feeling like that recently. It hasn't been long since I started looking after myself and like now am feeling shaky and just off balance but when I checked my levels it came up as 9.2. I don't know how to treat it because am not low but I feel like am heading that way. Plus its hard to...

Yeah am trying, am getting better at it, like I'll check my levels in the lectures just no do my injections that's why I want to go back on the pump because I feel like it will be much easier. Am shocked that they wont let you go on the pump even when your long term check is high. Their job is...

I know EXACTLY how you feel, I cannot tell you how similar our stories are. I didn't start taking care of myself until a couple of days ago after I was told that my eye sight was getting really bad, and I knew it was time to change. You taken the first step and believe me when I say this forum...

Please do, am new to the London hospital system and am still trying to sort everything out over here, but they are a much better support team than Bedford, they don't make me feel like a failure and actually help me move forward which is what I defiantly need. Looking back on it now, the pump is...

No not at all :) I was offered it by my diabetic team back in Bedford, it was new to the hospital and I was given the opportunity in the hopes of bring my HbA1c levels down. Am sure you can request to switch when you next see your diabetic nurse, I still have the pump but am back on pens now.

I think they do, I was given the form but I haven't put it through. Just double check with your uni :)

You are truly amazing, it'll only get better from here [emoji173]️

W.H.Smiths!? Who would have thought, defiantly on my list

Thank you so much, the support from this forum is incredible. I came to the conclusion today that being normal is boring anyway :)

You guys have been brilliant, thank you. I told some of my uni friends today and answered all they're questions, you're right; educating people is important

Yeah, I gathered that, thanks that makes sense. I think I get upset because my levels are no where near under control and it's just a reminder that I can't always eat what I want because my levels are already high. But hopefully I'll be able to change that soon

Am a newbie too, I've heard good things about this forum so I hope it works out for us all [emoji5]

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost 10 years ago now and I still feel nervous and slightly embarrassed to tell people. I don't know why, I guess I just hate the fuss that comes with it. Its as if everyone suddenly becomes my mum asking me if I should be eating chocolate or if I should be...

Reading your post has really opened my eyes. Am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and hope you're looking after yourself both mentally and physically, a break is defiantly what you need. I've never really taken this illness seriously, always saying that none of the serious consequence...

I've been looking into this and want to try it out. I was on the pump a few years back but it didn't help much but I think that was down to me not taking the illness seriously and not constantly delivering my insulin. But I have heard good things about this pump.
