So a few weeks ago I wrote about diabetic paranoia and how I wanted to be less bound to blood sugar testing etc .. anyway today I got a taste of how the other half live so to speak. Today I was departing on a 2hr open water swim in coniston, I woke up and 3 hours before the swim I ate a good...

A feeling has been coming over me for while now - I know that regular testing -before meals and during exercise etc is wise, provides feedback and knowledge bit, I can't help feeling I'm becoming a bit obsessive about it all and it's getting in the way of my enjoyment of activity. My dad was...

Hi everyone Im just feeling a bit low today. I recently received the eye test letter stating that eye had some background retinopathy. I went to the optician and had it cleared up it was a bleed -not good but felt bit better. Now the doctors have phoned me after my review and asked me to get...

Has anyone else had a sensor come away about 1 week into using it. I used freestyle libre last year for some running events and it never fell off - in fact I had to try and rench it off. I have started events again but the last few sensors I have purchased haven't lasted more than a week! Now...

I went to a diabetic clinic appointment the other day and had weight and blood pressure checks done first - I am sure the lady said it was 145/62 but I was a bit flustered so I may have missed heard. The consultant didn't say anything but my mother in law says that this is high blood pressure...

Hi I'm doing a half marathon in a few weeks and just scouting for any advice/suggestions. I have read a lot on here for the past few months :) it's a trail run so I expect it will be a bit longer than a road run lol - about 2 hours 45 ish ? Anything tip wise diabetes related or not will be great...

So I got a very inconvenient low today I was out running this evening and after about an hour I felt Wierd (more than usual haha) I did test and was 4 which was quite a bit of a drop from what I thought it would be - I had a gluco gel but as I was about half a mile or so from the car I carried...

Watching a crafty programme - not saying what they make isn't any good but...apparently a pub full of what I call "load of old tat" is actually the latest trend "faded grandeur". [emoji23]

I have underestimated what seemingly innocent things can effect insulin resistance - I am experiencing an unexpected period of it. I have Delayed on set muscle soreness from a newish exercise class (I am finding it very hard to get off chairs) . I read in diabetic athletes handbook that DOMS...

Really bad day at work today :( extremely busy and stressful. I don't know if anyone else has had this but since mid morning my stress levels have risen and so has my bs! I have been a bit more resistant than normal lately but was doing ok until something happens at work and the bs creeps up...

I have been looking at this to indeed see what is considered low carb. I don't really think I have ever knowingly eaten high carb even pre t 1 d. Unless I was consuming secret carbs in snacks - probably was lol. When I read some t 1 advice on 30 g plus carbs with a meal I was astonished - the...

Out running with friends tonight - talking nutrition. I have found that I have about 45 mins of blood sugar going mega high (as glycogen stores release) levelling off and then boom drop starts. I have dabbled with jelly babies etc as need about 15 gs carbs per half hour. Friends mention working...

I don't know why but I had to confess to someone - had a really hard day at work today. I massively overestimated how much insulin I needed this morning. I was higher than normal at 10. So I corrected a little on my porridge. But I had done a 10 k run last night and by 9 o clock I was running...

I shouldve been over the moon finishing a ten mile trail run and I was happy but it was slightly tarnished by a blood sugar merry go round that went on. I thought I had a plan but it all went to pot really. I am reading all I can read on this and practicing different methods but today I feel...
