Hi, I do 3X 60 min spin classes and 4 or 5 x HIIT sessions a week mixed with weights. If my sugars are above 9 before I start it’s too hard! Then I spike during sessions. I use Lucozade sport & bags of skittles if I go low then skittles are better than jelly babies for me. Generally low carb...

Wow! Thank you So I'm on levemir - do any of you split your dose? Roughly 50:50? It's defo worth a try.

Thanks. I'm guessing it could be stress. Makes sense what you say

Thanks all. I fly Friday and going around Europe on a number of flights so will let you know!! The libre is great and well worth a trial and even the £££ that I pay. Makes testing so simple and the patterns and trends you can see are enlightening [emoji4]

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. I was diagnosed with T1 when I was 4, I'm now 44 and live by myself. It's horrible to feel shame if we have a hypo. Luckily I get warning signs and always carry glucose tablets around. Just remember you are strong, only you can manage it with support from...

Hey So I'm type 1 and have had a few sessions of acupuncture over the years. Feeling shaky is normal - same if you have a really hard massage. Possibly slightly dehydrated & toxins etc being released. Drink lots (water) and sleep. Hopefully it will resolve itself & the acupuncture works! Mel

I was diagnosed T1 when I was 4 - nearly 40 years ago. In my youth I was terrible - I don't know anyone who wasn't. Had lots of scares late 20's with retinopathy, had vitrectomy and now have a dodgy left eye but fab right one. As a T1 you do think about everything - what am I doing for lunch...
