Hi guys, So I am currently on the Omnipod and have been since February last year. I've not really had any problems with it at all, maybe the odd few times where my pump will break and do that continuous beep until I stop it and change my pump. Anyway, I started working as a Ride Operator a...

Hi guys, Currently I have been having very irregular periods, but they haven't been that big of a gap. Maybe 3-5 days. 3 months ago, it started on the 15th. After that, it started around 5 days later (I was really concerned and even went for a pregnancy test which showed up negative)... This...

Here's a bit about myself: My name is Eireann (Irish spelling - not Irish though!) and you pronounce it as Erin :) I'm 16 years old and was born in Southport, England :D I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on the 25th October 2016 after getting rushed to hospital with ketones of 5+ and blood...

Good afternoon :) I have read on the internet and on the forums about how rollercoasters affect your blood sugars but it's still confusing me. This Saturday, I'm going to Pleasure Beach in Blackpool with a few mates for my birthday and I'm a bit worried of what to expect and watch out for...

I keep posting here but I can't stop! I love the community too much! So my latest question is has anyone been told something nasty about their illness? *Incoming rant* I had a girl, who I hadn't of spoken to in over a year, message me telling me my diabetes wasn't a big deal, type 1 was...

Very proud of myself, today I went to the hospital and they were 5.6. 3 months ago they were 109!

Mine right now is 2.2 - a new record lol (Treating it by gulping gallons of lucozade down and scoffing a load of jaffa cakes, nom nom)

Haven't stayed in target without dropping too low in ages! Had a cheeky McDonald's at 12ish. I don't expect it to last long though considering I'm going to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet lol. (sisters bday)

Good morning/afternoon, everybody :) After seeing what impact diabetes had on my life and after a long post I had written on Facebook about living with Type 1 Diabetes, my mum's friend has decided that she wants to swim a whole 22 miles in order to raise money for Diabetes UK. It would be...

I'm newly diagnosed so I'm not sure if this could mean you're having a hypo but most of the time when I shower, my legs become bright red and feel prickly when the water hits them. I always test my glucose levels after and I'm always having a hypo. Is this a sign? Has anyone else experienced it...

I've been having a problem with my blood sugars around dinner time. I take my lantus before I go to bed but the times are always different. Sometimes I'll be tired around 8 and take it and other times I'll go to bed at 10 and take it then. I notice that 2 hours after dinner, my bloods will spike...

Hey guys, I'm new to this website so I don't know how it all works lol. Here's a bit of info about myself. My names Eireann and I'm 15 years old, turning 16 in March. Recently I was diagnosed Type 1 which came as a massive shock to me. My grandad sadly passed from a long fight of lung cancer...
