Thank you all for your support! I've had a few days where I've felt really down about particular readings I've got but reading some posts on here and that I've tried to gain a bit more perspective on it all [emoji1303][emoji4] xx

This is interesting to read! I spoke to the diabetic nurse about testing strips. She wrote a letter to my doctor and when I picked my prescription up it had mentioned they are already giving me 150 strips. This is nowhere near enough...I feel like I'm wasting doctors time requesting an appt over...

I've been testing a lot more regularly than what I used to. The most confusing thing I find is I can have the same breakfast throughout the week and my readings vary one hour after quite a lot. For example, this week it has varied from 4.1 to 10.3? I follow the same routine everyday whilst at...

So, last time I went to the diabetic nurse I got told off for taking a correction dose after testing because I then had a hypo.... And this bolus testing thing? I didn't know existed nor have I heard of it! Sounds pretty handy to have to see how much existing insulin is in the system. No, I...
