It's been alright for me in regards to lucozade, just it's not very practical to have to drink a whole bottle for every hypo you have. Even so, I still use it to great affect

I have flown about 4 times since diagnosis and they have never stopped to search my bag or anything like that. Then again, I don't know about the libre, because I haven't flown with it on. I'm still dreaming of the day when they say 'Any sharps or liquids?' and I get to reply 'Yes, about 200...

I have attended DAFNE, but they did not tell me anything I already knew. However my Grandma who came along with me learned a lot and that was useful to her as she sometimes looks after me while my parents are away.

The thing is with this, sometimes I can go to bed at say 6.5 and when when I check my libre it shows that I have stayed the exact same all night. So I am pretty sure my basal is right. Also, with school, I don't really think I could do basal testing at school because the lack of food would make...

I have a few times been woken up by the low sugar, and check my libre, it says it is low, then i check my blood with my actual meter and it also says it is low

I flew around the same time as you after diagnosis, and it was fine. I recommend keeping all your spares in your hand luggage, because anything can happen in the hold. They didn't bother me about the sharp objects and the 'drugs' when I went through. They are probably told about them.

Maybe it is the 15 minute thing? Just remember hypos happen suddenly, and the sensors are giving you a BS reading of 15 minutes before you scan...

If your basal is right, it doesn't matter if you have no carbs acting. You should just stay consistent.

I am on Tresiba 17 units before bed so 9.00-11.00 @Juicyj

Hi, I was diagnosed in March and have had pretty good BG since then. My HbA1C after being diabetic for three months was 7.2, which he said was fine. However, I am having a lot of trouble recently. My blood sugars are all over the place. I can go to bed at 6.7 and wake up at 13.8, even if I have...

Im type 1 as well, you don't need to eat at certain times.

It seems you have the right attitude towards it, and thats all you need. Just ask on here anything you need to know, and as EVERYONE else has said, you will get a great answer. Good luck in the future!!

I could take it a few hours later than the night before, and my sugar would be fine. Also, ask your doctor about Tresiba. It's the same as Levemir, but lasts a bit longer. Same pen and everything. My blood sugars after 24 hours have been a lot better since I changed.

Just don't think about it. I can sometimes just forget it's there till I eat. I think the best thing I did was tell everyone I come into contact with regularly. They accepted it and it became normal for them, so it became normal for me as well. Also, your dog is very cute!!!

I did that, I advise just eating LOADS no matter the cost. If it’s your life or your weight, always go for your life

Personally, I kind of like injecting in public. Once you realise people are not being rude, and that they are just interested, it’s actually quite empowering

You should get a free eye test for being diabetic, I certainly do. However, I don't think there is any discount on glasses because of diabetes unless you have glaucoma.

Hi everyone! I recently recieved my contour next one meter. It is very good and suits what I need very well. However, I was only diagnosed in early march and I am not sure if they will put the strips for the new meter on my prescription. What shall I say to them to convince them to let me use...

I recently had this with my novopen echo. I find that changing the needle or simply unscrewing it and then putting it back on helps. If this keeps on happening, order a new one from the hospital that you have your appointments at. Or just get an echo or a 5 lol
