Hi Guys and Gals, Just thought I'd let you know that I am finally making progress. My Hosp appt today: HBA1C 7.7 old money. :D I know compared to those in the 5/6 group its not fantastic but to me is a big move in the right direction. Which has taken a while to get there. He said that my...

Hi Guys and Gals! Just thought I'd mention some info given during my DSN appt today. It seems us insulin users are now going to be issued with an insulin passport. We are to carry it with us at all times and it is to be used if a medic is either involved in administering insulin ( in hospital )...

Hi Folkes, Firstly, when I enter a topic there is no section at the bottom for me to type on a thread. Sorry RRB I have been trying to answer your question about some pictures of the Cattle. Also I tried a new thread with a 1 picture and the whole thing vanished. This probably will too. I am...

Hi folkes, Just wondering what your views are on this and how to handle it. I am so cross at the moment. T1 for 6 yrs. My son who is 7 knows a little about my diabetes but I have kept it low key. Not brilliantly managed for the past 5 1/2 yrs. tried to blend in and kept it very quiet and as a...

Hi folkes, I am am always intregued by all the low carb recipies on here. I have also just read Defren's post re lack of low carb food on sale in shops. All you clever T2 low carb recipie designers could be missing a real gap in the market!!!! And what better way to make more publicity for low...

My son has achieved his level 2 swimming cirtificate and 10 meter badge this evening. Swimming has not come easy to him and he has had to work very hard. I am so very proud of him. I believe that achievement large, small, easily gained or not should be celebrated. Not everything comes easily...

Hi Folkes, Feel a bit silly writing this but sused if anyone is going to know how I am feeling is likely to be one of you guys. Carb Counting is going ok. Seem to be going in the right direction albeit slowly. Anyway had my 1st hypo in 2 weeks this morning ( absolutely no reason for it, as I...

Hi Guys and Gals, I just wanted to mention / ask if it is possible to add a snippet of information to the already very helpful info on diet for newly diagnosed. It states that if you want to include bread in your diet then the better options are multigrain and seeded like Burgen bread. When I...

Hi folkes, I just wanted to clarify as I seem to have read conflicting info to what I understood. Twice now I have read that wholemeal (brown bread) is better for BG. I am sure at the beginning of my diabetes I was told that wholegrain is good for BG and wholemeal is bad for BG. I know that...

Hi Guys, I have recently been learning how to do carb counting. I am a T1 on levemir and Novo Rapid. 18 units of levemir at night. I have been having some success and my sugars have been lowered and withing the said guidlines the majority of the time. The odd learning curve here and there. My...

Hi Guys, As you know I am reletively new to this forum. I posted on a topic re having a baby with T1. I answered with honesty. Too much Honesty and probably too personal. ( I guess I started to see alot of you as friends ) and wanted the person who had posted the question to know that I had...
