Mine start to get sore after only a couple of days, and sugars begin to get quite erratic after that. Anyone else have the same problem?

Hi all, For about a year or so, I've occasionally been getting numb fingers, hands and arms (most usually at night) – symptoms which have usually only lasted for a few days or so before disappearing for a few months. But for the last three weeks, my arms and hands / fingers have been pretty...

Anyone else having similar experiences? My BG was 20 just now when I tested before lunch, and it was similar yesterday. I'm usually fine that time of the day - could it be the heat?

Hi all, I've had type 1 for 28 years and have had retinopathy for a few years. I had to have my first bout of PRP laser treatment on my left eye at the beginning of August. It was a pretty awful experience. I'm not sure what information people are normally given prior to the op, but I received...
