    T1: What Happens If I Don't Take My Insulin?

    I had also put some weight on after diagnosis, which is normal I think, but don't worry things will settle after a while. It took me one year and a half year to get back to my normal weight again by eating healthy and walking. Don't be encouraged that you don't see results immediately. Your body...

    T1 James Bond...?

    I thought that Halle Berry was a T2. I read an article where she said that she maintained control of her blood sugars by diet alone.

    Can we keep the insulin dose constant for a long time ?

    I also think that during the honeymoon it is easier to keep your blood sugars within range. Though I need to calculate my meals, match them with the exercise I do and take into account for other factors, my bloodsugars behave predictable most of the time. Once you get out of the honeymoon you...

    EU - In or Out + Poll.

    As a non-Brit I want to say I hope that you will remain in the EU. Britain counterbalances the power of Germany and France in the EU.

    Skin rash and diabetes

    I am doubting to visit a GP because I have a small skin rash on my body which looks like it could be shingles. My bloodsugars are fine and the information I found on shingles is that if it is located on a small part of the body, treatment is not necessary for healthy persons. My question is, can...

    T1: Cola Zero: Is It ok to drink it?

    You can also buy products with natural sweeteners in it. Some barely contain any sugars, but you have to be carefull as others do like the green coco cola drink for example. From what I have heard they are ''better'' than ártificial sweeteners, but as with everything, moderation is the best you...

    Stem cells treatment

    It sounds awesome, but given the fact that stem cells treatments is still in the research phase in other countries and people participating in the trails have to take anti-rejection drugs I am a bit skeptical about it. Espcially since the website also says that it focuses on anti-age treatments.

    Does anyone else feel nervous telling people they have diabetes?

    I can relate to your feelings. I am now in a studentclub with some really nice people, but it feels a bit odd talking about people you barely know about diabetes. It just that you don't want to be the odd person or want to be judged. On the other hand, people don't mind that much in reality...

    Constantly needing to eat to avoid low sugars

    @ mahola @jevans82 I only know that my ratio for the afternoon and morning is 1:50. Dinner is always a wild guess how much my ration/carb is. I did take a count carbing course a couple of months a ago though, but the dietician was not very helpfull. She doubted that I was T1 because 'I had been...

    Constantly needing to eat to avoid low sugars

    I am on two injections. One Lantus (in the evening) and the other is the short acting Apridra Solostar for dinner. I don't inject short acting insulin in the morning and afternoon as the ratio is then 1:50. I don't know if it is possible to split the dose, since I am on a very low dose (I only...

    Constantly needing to eat to avoid low sugars

    Hi everyone I have been diabetic for a year now and everything is going well so far. However, there is one thing which is bothering me. I need to eat every two hours in order to avoid a hypo, which means that I eat up to seven times a day. Every time I need to take a snack, I eat 15 grams of...
