Had a rough night (stomach) (i always think stomach is a weird word) levels gone up but compensated at 4am now its 7.30am and i'm sat at my desk at 5.8 drinking coffee. I'm just worn out. Started some new pills Amitriptyline recently which on a low dose help with my stomach but they didn't help...

Would you mind explaining the issue with water consumption relating to libre variability please? Its a new one on me. Thanks Tony

Hi and welcome. As far as i know it isn't available in the UK. Tony

That DAFNE philosophy doesn't take in to account the times we throw caution to the wind! Strangely enough being coeliac does help as i don't eat anything with wheat in and the free from alternatives are not as good and expensive however i do like a beer which leads on to crisps and the like but...

Hi We have an IT bod at work and his son is trialing a new cam where there is insulin and glycogen and it does everything itself. I will click on the link later as the firewall on my work computer will not let me.lol I am guessing the camaps thing is what he is trialing. Whilst i am a dinosaur...

My friend and neighbour suffers from resistance quite alot and my methods don't work for him. He can suffer for weeks at a time whereas mine only lasts half a day as as soon as i recognize resistance i'm up and out and such is my obsession with decent levels i don't fret over the rain as i am...

Hi I have posted this before on other posts but here goes..... My starting point is type 1 diabetes is an equation involving 3 things... Insulin carbohydrates and exercise. When i become resistant i stop consuming carbs and increase both insulin and exercise and by exercise i mean plain and...

Hi As a type one my pancreas doesn't produce any insulin at all. But types ones suffer resistance as well. Nobody knows why this happens but i worked out how to stop it but it only applies to me. As @EllieM says its an interesting question. Tony

I don't see a consultant or DSN. I just ask my GP very politely and they usually oblige. The surgery is ranked in the top 10 according to the CQC. The levemir to Tresiba change was sorted between the practice nurse and pharmacist. I had to laugh when the pharmacist phoned me as he sounded about...

Hi I am being forced to change my insulin this year as Levemir is being discontinued. It was all sorted but the surgery had changed my prescription to the throw away type syringe and not the penfill type. I had an appointment about something else and brought this to the GPs attention. I got my...

@becca59 where are you going on your holiday?

@becca59 I am very sorry for your loss. Well done on staying in control of your diabetes as its so easy to neglect ones self when grieving. I wish you well Tony

Good afternoon At one point i felt i was dominating this thread so i have left it alone for a week or two. Its a lovely day here on the very edge of the pennines and i'm a little bit high and it just so happens i have some outside jobs to .....funny that.. Tony wanders off whistling a jaunty tune

Hi @Quinapril I am a worrier. I get anxious about all sorts of things and i catastrophize alot. I take anti depressants and have tried all sorts of things to improve my mental state. Here's the thing.... I do not worry about my diabetes i think about it all the time but don't actually worry...

Please don't be sorry as i've seen quite a few old posts resurrected that have led to interesting discussions...forgive me but i can't help saying that weight loss is a hot potato!!! lol I'm type one cut back on spuds and i take less insulin simples....well of course if only it was that...

Hi I replied on a different thread a while back in relation to insulin resistance...... Referring to insulin i wrote that its as though my insulin sits there hiding behind a corpuscle waiting to come out to play when i'm least expecting........ And like you i use jelly babies. Tony

I wonder what happened to the original poster as he only came on here for a day or 2? back in 2023? Tony

I've just had a memory pop into my head.... When i was diagnozed 50 years ago i was in hospital on a ward of about 12 children most of which were in having had their tonsils removed. At meal times they got an oblong of ice cream with rice pudding. I got nowt because i was diabetic and they made...
