    Hi. I also have type 1 and work with the younger children. Last night a colleague sent me the latest government guidelines for schools going back on 1st June. In it it clearly states that staff classed as clinically vulnerable (lists diabetes) should work from home if possible. If they cannot...

    Low carb rolls/burger buns

    Hi. I love bread/rolls and have been looking for a while for lower carb versions. I think i'm going to try the psyllium husk powder and make my own. I know its expensive to buy but if it makes quite a few rolls then it would more than likely even out the cost. Apart from rolls you can use it to...

    Carb contents in restaurants, parliament petition

    I did sign the petition last night but was looking at it from a purely selfish point of view rather than as a whole topic. After reading the comments/views, i find i am agreeing with not having the carbs on the menu for small businesses. The town centres and high streets are empty enough without...

    Carb contents in restaurants, parliament petition

    I try to support local businesses as much as i can and prefer to go to local restaurants rather than bigger chains. I would hate people to lose their jobs or livelihoods for me! Would ingredients lists being made available on request be a compromise? That way, could any carbs be guessed/worked...

    Type 1 Medical Alert ID

    Hi. Thanks. I, too, haven't found anything i like. Although work colleagues know about the t1, they are the ones usually asking me about why i'm not wearing anything and i start to doubt myself. I know everyone means well though. So far i've been well controlled so i will leave it for now...

    Type 1 Medical Alert ID

    Hi all. Just a question to ask what are others thoughts on medical alert id bracelets/necklaces/bands. Are they necessary? All my family and work colleagues are aware of my t1 but i often wonder if an id is needed if i am on my own. I always have my kit with me and a card in my bag saying what...
