I've tried a few cheap vaping cigarettes which helped me stop smoking for 6 weeks but then I started again. I purchased a more expensive one and never looked back, I must say that first week or so had me reaching for snacks a bit more than usual so my levels where a little higher than I wanted...

Thanks for your advice everyone, I will be sure to call and make an appointment shortly. My bloods stabilised a little last night but back up to 19/20s tonight - I thort I was getting it out the system but might be making a comeback. I can't complain about the hospital at first I seen them every...

Hi all, hope everyone is well! I would like to firstly thank everyone on here for help and support over the last year it's really helped me take on diabetes and live a normal life as before. Come last Thursday (dead on a year) I have found it extremely difficult to keep my levels under 12mmol...

Hi L3wisr I was exactly the same as you when I got diagnosed in June (and sometime still get it now). I am quite lucky I only work 15 minutes away but I do check my bg levels before I drive at any time. A few weeks after being diagnosed i was asked to go for some training at head office 5 hours...

Hi everyone, sorry i only seem to be posting when I have problems but you have helped me out a lot before so hoping to help out again [emoji4]. I've recently returned from our honeymoon (bloods where always between 4 - 7 without having to take much insulin, was like a diabetic holiday all in...

Thanks you for your help. I am only taking 5 units at present but I was about to have my dinner at this point also so had one correction and one to cover my dinner. I had another up and down yesterday too and I do think it could be down to the smoking for sure. I checked my blood 2 hours after...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with type 1 back in May and after a lot of reading from the forum and advice seemed to be able to pick up where I'd left off an live life pretty normally. I was down too 4 units Glargine and 1 unit of Novarapid covering my tea time food. All going well numbers between...

Hi dex44lego9 I hope the first wedding went well! I married my beautiful wife this past Thursday (I think the nerves of having to request lucozade at the alter was overcoming my normal nerves lol) so I ran my bloods a little higher than usual too around 9ish. Made sure I checked them quickly...

Hi @Loz_s, I can only speak from my own experience of this as I have been diagnosed for just under 2 month. I still suffer from bouts of insomnia, this does seem to be when my bloods are high/low and not in the "normal" range - I think I need to throw in there as @azure has mentioned the stress...

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the long weekend. Still slowly getting to grips with the insulin regime but currently having at least one hypo a day. I started on Novarapid 3 times a day at 5 units with Lantus at 15. I had multiple hypos through the day about 3 hours...

Hi @Daibell thank you for the info, I'm trying to learn the carb counting, past few readings have all been around the 4.5 - 6 mark so seems to be going well (touch wood) at present. I don't think I've been factoring in the warm weather at present and the exercise which has been why my hypos have...

Thank you everyone, really appreciate it. My toes have returned to normal - I've not suffered with anxiety before and it's weird how your mind can play tricks. As previously mentioned you all have helped me to calm my nerves and put into practice coping mechanisms to make sure it doesn't take...

Hi all, firstly I would like to say how much this forum has helped. I was newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes 2 weeks ago and I am finding it extremely hard to take in. My anxiety is through the roof but discussions such as blurry eyes and how life can become as normal as possible has helped me...
