    Type 1 Numb little toe

    Thanks for all the replies, I'm going to contact my DSN and investigate further. I'm starting to think it's more likely to do with the running than diabetes - fingers crossed!

    Type 1 Numb little toe

    Thank you! I've just checked again and actually it's not so much the toe, more so the outer side of the foot and toe. So from what you mention, is unlikely to be nerve damage?

    Type 1 Numb little toe

Diabetes control over time hasn't been amazing but since having Freestyle Libre sensors from March last year has been much better. This time last year my hba1c was 70 and now is 58 (taking into account the not so good...

    Libre iPhone App & carb counting

    I had the same issue when I started using the FreeStyle Libre app on my phone. There's a system on the reader that works the same as the Aviva Expert reader but it needs to be unlocked by your DSN and can only be used via test strip (not by scanning). This is apparently due to the sensor not...

    Is a Low Carb Diet Sustainable to Manage Type 1 Diabetes

    Is a Low Carb Diet Sustainable to Manage Type 1 Diabetes

    I've just completed the week long DAFNE course and have been on the LCHF for a fair few months (40g of carbs a day roughly all from veg/salad). Even having 0 carb meals and using bolus doses to correct I haven't managed to get my levels under control during this week of the course. All the...
