Thanks everyone, I’m feeling a lot better after my rant! What a mare and of course coming back down now. Looks like it was a combination, finger prick testing alongside as it finally topped out at 19.6. Deep breaths. I’m going to get there, just need to sort it out a bit more and take the time...

First time ever I’m working from home, all night hitting the top of the libre. Then get back to range and BAM! Bloody bread and soup. I’ve been having salads and pre-bolus by 15 mins and now this. I’d like to say it’s the first time but I seriously can’t get a handle on this. My numbers are just...

So. New basal regime is taking a lot out of me. Started tresiba and it worked perfectly for about a week. Now, it’s not. Can’t get these numbers down. This is my day and I’ve taken corrections as I just can’t cope and I want to scream. I am basal testing to try get somewhere but I’m just wanting...

Hey @scotteric, I've just changed over from Levemir to Tresiba, and I'm trying to stay patient with it. First of all, I was dropping from a high of around 15 at 3am, to around 5/6 in the morning, then good all day. Until around 10.30pm when I would start to rise up every single night. The drop...

Thank you so much @novorapidboi26 I’m going to have to start testing as I feel all my requirements have changed and I’m a bit in the dark. Going to try get an appointment with my DSN to get things sorted! Managed two episodes at 19 yesterday!! Thanks again, Suzie

Morning folks. I’m 60% sure my question relates to my basal insulin. I’ve been just over a year as type 1 and my pancreas has now stopped helping all together. My insulin needs have really increased. I’m currently taking 12 units levemir at 10am and then another 8 at 10pm. However, every...

Mine bruised a little as it was so super sticky still! I’m not allergic to that so just wondering if it is itchy? Or did you have any issues while you wore it?

Thanks so much! I'll be doing that!

Hi folks, I'm also in aberdeen and I'm hoping to get on this course soon! I was diagnosed in October last year and I believe I have to wait a year to get into this? I've been fine with the carb counting for months, but now I think my honeymoon period is over and taking the control of my...

Hey! I keep my Dexcom on by using tagaderm or similar, got some on amazon and stick em down. Not sure with libre as it would need to cover the whole thing! That skin tac stuff is pretty expensive but certainly works too!

My second since diagnosis in October : 54 [emoji3]

I've got my first one since diagnosis tomorrow! Wish me luck, went into hospital at 80..let's see how I've been doing #nervous

Thanks so much all of you. Managed to man up and get on with it after my false alarm! It was a relief to say the least! 6.6 before dinner and delighted. Appreciate your support once again.

Hi guys, got my diagnosis as type 1 around 6 weeks ago and had my first hypo at 2.8, out of the blue! Treated it and all was fine. However, today I got into a tizzy that it was happening again and was ready with coke in hand to treat but meter is showing bg of 7.8. I've been getting great...

Brilliant to have this to follow. I was diagnosed last month and we have our honeymoon to Bangkok, hua hin and Phuket! A confidence boost is much needed as I'm so anxious.

I can't thank you all enough for your supportive and kind words! It really means a lot. I find myself trying not to burden my loved ones too much talking about it so much. It's so lovely to have you all here at my, slightly bruised, fingertips x

Hi folks, newbie to the forum..:oh and diabetes! Managed to catch the warning signs and only ended up in hospital for one night when I was diagnosed on Halloween night. What a fright. I've been all over the place last two weeks, anything from 7.4 (once) to around 13/14. My nurse is amazing...
