I'd like some advice please. In the last month or so, my diagnosis changed from type 2 and taking pills to type 1 and injecting insulin. Since injecting I've had no problems in public or at restaurants or at work to inject. The weekend just gone was the first time I was around my family as...

Just curious if there anyone know of a whatsapp groups for people with Type 1 in the UK?

@Juicyj Thank you! I just changed my profile. I was type 2 and i am actually awaiting 100% confirmation that I am actually Type 1. It's all changed for me in the last 3 weeks or so. I was on just pills and now I am on insulin, so still working it all out and it's such an information overload...

I am new to Type 1 and I am working out counting carbs and injecting appropriately. I havent experienced a hypo yet but I know I will and want to prepare for it, but also want to prepare my colleagues. I don't want to have to tell them 6 pages of information, but a short explanation of what...

I have a monitor to test. The nurse gave me the Contour Next One which seems good. I am 37 so I guess I am not too old or young - just this happens. Today is day two of injecting and I am trying to learn as I go. For work, I am office based, but still would like to be able to inform my...

I have been quiet here for a while and sadly things have got worse for me. I've just had bloods taken to see if I am actually Type 1 now. Been on metformin 1000mg twice a day and also gliclizide 80mg twice a day and it hasnt been helping me enough. Yesterday they moved me off the gliclidize and...

I'm in the process of renovating my kitchen. It's currently being stripped out and I need to find my new one. I'm pretty set on using Howdens as they have a fast turnover. As for my worktop, I definitely don't want wood, and have been looking at something called Minerva. It's hard to find...

Things are starting to look better. Finally got a reading of 7.5. I'm now on 4 metformin a day but hopefully I am not type 1 or 1.5. I still need to up the exercise and continue to eat better and better.

Do you take them as supplement capsules? Which and when? How often? Where do you buy them? How long have you taken them? Sorry for so many questions.

Is anyone using herbal treatments and possibly on top of taking meds like metformin? I've been reading about taking supplements or adding herbs to food such as fenugreek, bitter melon, cinnamon, turmeric and more. While there doesn't seem to be much actual proven research on these I am thinking...

Also I should add, I'm feeling like I have less energy and struggle to do exercise like I used to. And never seem to get a chance to relax with so much going on in my life.

Update... I've seen the diabetic nurse and she wanted me to go on to glicozide (?) But I refused. I'm only on two metformin a day and moving to three for a week and then 4 after that to see if my levels change. I know it's still early and just on to three for 2 days now but still seeing high...

Just here venting at myself. Gone totally off the rails and knew I was just cheating myself but just could never get back to how I should be. I stopped testing, stopped eating right and in the last 2 months I have lost over a stone and a half. I was never massively overweight, usually 13-14...

Just curious people opinions on LCHF vs Vegan Diet. I watched a Ted Talk this morning about diet - - and he talks about how we are better suited to be vegans, in terms of managing and reducing diabetes. Has anyone tried this? Anything to share about it? I am unsure I can actually be a full...

Thanks for the replies. This morning am now down to 9.2. Nearly there!

Thanks! Just done a quick walk and a small bit of weights at home and already down to 12. Back on the horse is right!

Feeling really annoyed right now. Haven't been eating well lately and noticing myself losing weight too. Had pizza last night which I know is terrible. Ended up having a terrible night sleep. Peeing 5 times through the night. Today I ate well, low carb, no snacks. Just tested 2 hours...

Just never a fan of the microwave. I'll start looking at the other threads and get more ideas. I've never made a quiche. Might try that. I made those egg muffins in the past but made me feel nauseous after a week so totally went off them. I guess I could stock up on the protein rolls and...

I need some low carb breakfast ideas. I typically eat breakfast at work so don't have the ability to cook. Do have a microwave but don't like using it. Would like something I can prepare in advance. For lunch I typically have a salad with hard boiled eggs. Maybe I need to move the eggs to...
