I can't believe people making fun of this?!? I'm brittle, diagnosed in adulthood and BS sensitive to exercise and no day is the same. The last thing I want is to cause the partner a headache with all the diabetic hassle. Thanks to those who were kind enough to answer, but now I regret asking.

Hi, Last time I had intimacy it was before my diagnosis. A long time ago now. I'm curious what range to aim for at the start of sex? Should I keep orange juice and glucose tabs on the cupboard? And if I need to test my sugar in the midst of it, then at what time frame should I consider? Thank...

I know the feeling all too well. It's relieving to hear that an antidepressant can help as I've been contemplating giving it a go for a while. I've been on it in the past and very familiar with the sense of being "robbed", AKA depersonalization, derealization and whatnot, in exchange for being...

I assume that an individual with diabetes experiences a negative event e.g. hypoglycemia, and it's coupled with danger such as 'driving on a country road, many miles away from home and experiencing diabetes related sickness, but you are operating a vehicle at the same time, being trapped with no...

Wow! Thank you so much.:) I just skimmed through the text, but **** this patient sounds like my long-lost, imaginary twin brother haha. Even the driving hypo (as the instigator of this madness) and pulling over the road is spot on. There is hope.:nailbiting: post edited by moderator to comply...

Hi, I'm the person who complained of morning nausea a couple months back (better, but not gone). After a never ending search for answers, I found this abstract that describes me down to a T. "This case report describes a man with Type 1 diabetes who developed agoraphobia with panic disorder...

For anyone who's interested... this is a small update a month after starting the topic and there will be a TL;DR at the end. A friend with IBS recommended me a certain type of probiotic so I started taking it after my last post. It seemed to be helping for a good while, but a week later I...

Hi Jaylee, It was everything related. This was the first year that I had a hypo without any symptoms other than feeling a bit sluggish. Other times I had palpitations, sweat etc. That particular day I checked my sugar and it was shockingly low, and ever since then I panic myself into anxiety...

Are there any men or women (non-pregnancy related) who have dealt with or deals with morning nausea/diarrhea/anxiety combo? I went through mega-hardcore stress during this summer and also developed a gigantic abscess on my tooth/gum. I was prescribed a week's worth of antibiotics, the strongest...

Sorry I took my time to respond back, but I wanted to test this new insulin before saying anything good or bad about it. It hasn't been 3 days, but my levels haven't been this stable before. With Insuman Rapid I used to wake up with e.g. glucose of 7, then inject, then my levels would climb up...

Thank you. Up until now I had 3 bolus and 1 basal. My question is: if I have snacks in-between the three meals, then do I have to give myself insulin separately for the snacks? So do I have to inject myself more than 4x times a day from now on? I wouldn't be a fan of that.:shifty: I'm not from...

Hi all, I've been using Insuman Rapid ever since my T1 diagnosis (2015) and my diabetic doc has prescribed a new form of insulin called Apidra. She said that now I can inject even after eating and it should ease my life, and from now on I should eat 3 meals a day. However, I'm used to eating 5...

Hi, Sorry to hear about your struggles. I have the "hypo anxiety" and also like computer games. My diabetic doc is the sweetest person and offered a different type of insulin that I've yet to try. Is it okay to PM you?

Hi, I live at the other end of Europe, but would love to have a pen pal who fits the description. I'll check JDRF, but this is a small town though and that's not helping... Thank you very much though.

Hi, I'm not new around here, but unfortunately I can't find like-minded people in the local diabetic community due to disease differences (type 2-s) or age differences (children or elderly). I'm a 30 yo Eastern-European man living with a loving and supportive parent. My old time friends have...

Hi najamadahir, Please know that I have felt the exact same pain as you do now. Just know that you aren't alone and there are many of us who got tired of managing a very misunderstood disease, 24/7, without off days. We can only hope for a better future and I encourage you to surround yourself...

I'm dealing with the same thing (for me it's overseas travel). It'd be easier if one had a companion. I've traveled to the US and back, both with company and by myself, but that was prior to diagnosis. There are only two occasions I take a nerve pill, and one of them is prior to flying. First I...

Wow, that is crazy. This reminded me of a rat study where the animal was affected by PTSD, and its offsprings had high susceptibility to PTSD lasting up to 4 generations. Epigenetics... I wish there was a breakthrough already, so we knew what, why, when, where. Like you, I do not have a family...

The more I read about type 1 studies and people's experience, the more I believe that not everyone gets all the "bells and whistles" with the disease and there's likely a genetic component beyond T1D. There are unfortunate, young victims who died from a hypo in their sleep, and there are 60+...

When I was at the age of 14 I had hypos that were similar to real diabetic hypos... I'm not talking about feeling just being a bit too hungry. I'm talking about trembling, heart beating out of chest, sweating and raiding the pantry to eat everything in sight and more. I used to stay at home...
