I'll probably opt for a healthier option than Flapjack or Chocolate...sorry! Probably some Ryvita, I won't crave it when in my drawer :) Hope Ryvita is ok or something similar?

Lol thank you for the kick, really needed it. I sometimes let this diabetes become more than it is. I do keep lucozades in my drawer so i'll use them if need to. Atleast that doesn't involve storing naughty stuff. Thank you for the advice :)

Hi! I have a question that I'm not sure is silly to ask but would really like to know :( Sorry! I work in an office and my job is me sitting at a desk all day. Occasionally the warehouse lads may ask for help in the warehouse, which involves picking & packing and lot of physical work. At the...

What about taking it slow, not going cold turkey with it all? Whats the reason it goes wrong after a week or 2 is that when you have the craves for something sweet or to drink the wrong stuff? Take it slow in my opinion, it appears that everything goes pots up and you struggle to keep it...

Hi JJWM! I spent the last 7 years not injecting, eating the wrong foods and being ill all the time with my diabetes. I didn't want to know, everytime I thought about my diabetes I would remember my mother who died when i was 11 when she had no control of her diabetes. I would lie to Doctors...

Hi sugar2! I think I might skip breakfast and test out your theory. I have been thinking maybe it is my background insulin that may be causing my high readings in between me waking up and me having breakfast & injecting. I understand that the Lantus maybe not last for 24 hours, it might be...

Hi Cugila! I'm on Novarapid and Lantus, not sure what basal/bolus is...sorry!! I take 5 injections a day: 10am - 20 units of Lantus, Novarapid base 10units plus 3units per 10g of carbs I eat 2pm - Novarapid base 10units plus 3units per 10g of carbs i eat 6-8pm - 20 units of Lantus, Novarapid...

Hi! I wanted to know what time you think I should be eating breakfast. Every morning from when I get up till about 8am my sugar levels are in single digits 7-9 and at 10am my sugar level goes up to double digits 10-15. I normally have breakfast at 10am every morning, I can't really stomach...

Not eating spicy food is alien to me :P I am British-Indian and absolutely love spicing up everything I eat. I'm the girl that carries spices in her bag! :oops: I've not seen any changes in my BG's if I didn't spice up my food. About a week or 2 ago I decided to reduce my carb intake and...

I hope not :P No i think he knows i am type 1 only because we have previously discussed my regime with Novarapid and Lantus. He mentioned that the strips weren't cheap and that normally testing once a week was ok to monitor my Diabetes. I insisted on more because of my high readings in the...

Hi Nigel! Thanks for the tip!

I was officially diagnosed at 19, however the reason I got diagnosed in the first place is because my old Doctor (family Doctor for most of my childhood) had retired and the new Doctor saw that I took a blood test when I was 13 years old that showed signs of T1 Diabetes. Within hours of getting...

In my previous workplace the other girls complained that I was holding up the toilets whilst injecting and I was told to phone the office manager before I went to inject so the girls could run to the loo if they needed to go. Was very humiliating sitting in an office having to listen to my...

When I went to speak to my Doctor recently he mentioned that I really only need to text once a week, I was a bit concerned with him saying that to me especially with me not being under control. I fought hard for my strips and he allowed me enough strips for me to test 3 times a day...
