Evening All, My driving licence which I'd sent for renewal in July along with documents saying I was on a Dexcom G7 for my hypo unawareness, has come back today, revoked. I had sent a letter outlining I'd been put on this and the baseline had been raised so I could catch my hypo's around the...

Hi All, I've had quite a nightmare changing from beef to analogue, started the changeover in December last year, and have been on 4 different insulins. Humalog is taking hours to work, usually 4 hours and not the 15-20 minutes. Last week it took 6.5 hours. Have stopped eating carbs as a result...

Hello All, I was on 2/day of Bovine insulin, and have recently changed to MDI 3/4 a day. The change has been stressful to say the least, much lack of advice, allergic reactions to 2 insulins and a lot of other medical blunders. I feel better but still exhausted from the change. Bloods show...

Hello All, I've recently tried Fiasp and Toujeo and had rare adverse reactions to both, one very rare. Both made me breathless at times, gave me in an odd taste in my mouth, palpitations for the Toujeo. Thought there was something wrong with me until I read both pack inserts after this...

Hello, I'm a Type 1 on 2-3 injections a day. Am well controlled, and have just had a night time hypo, my first in just over a year. My 18 yr old daughter saved me but is going off to uni in Sept leaving my 9 yr old son. So, how do other single parents cope with night time hypos? I rang...

Hello, I remember reading an article last year about there being a link between diabetes and O.C.D. (due to the regimented control element), in a copy of the now defunct "Sweet" magazine. Does anyone have the article as I recycled the mag, or any links to where I can get info on the link...

Hello, Has anyone had experience of erratic BMs after giving birth? My son is two now, and my control has never been so erratic. I keep having horrific hypos and it's scary. I've altered my dose, changed insulin and I am still having them. Its just not been the same since he has been born...
