Hello, Need some advice. My bloods hit 20s yesterday and I'm a frequent walker usually with no issues (walking usually gets my levels down quickly but no lingering after effects like this) so I'm baffled as to why my sugar levels are just absolutely plummeting. I seem really really sensitive to...

Hi hello. I'm really struggling with my diabetes control at the moment. It doesn't matter what I eat for breakfast, I am spiking up from like 3-5 to 25 and then the rest of the day I am miserable trying to play catch up with the bolus and usually I hit HI by dinnertime because my Novorapid just...

Hi there. Last time I went to the states was 2010 pre-diagnosis. I got my letter posted today from my diabetes nurse for carrying stuff on the plane. I am going to Chicago for a week in April/May. What do you type 1s recommend just incase something happens and I need to get medical treatment...

Hey guys. I took my basal quite late last night. I usually have it anytime between 9pm and 2am but I was playing Diablo until 3am lol. I took it and as I pulled the needle out I realized it was bent almost 90 degrees. Somehow the insulin still went in because I had a tiny lump and nothing was...

Hello! My sensor came to an end today. I took it off early and by early I mean I walked into a doorframe and it came off a few hours before it was due to end. I have 4 new boxes from the pharmacy and literally, none of them would stick. I applied it and it just fell off. It doesn't feel very...

Hello :) I'm being investigated for this as I'm having some weird problems with my right leg and I've put some weight in the last year (albeit I have been much less mobile until recently and was probably eating more). My doctor doesn't think it's vascular and my DSN is weirdly not concerned...

I can't seem to post a picture of my libre but I am feeling really frustrated and upset that my blood sugar just will not go down and keeps spiking. Between 2am and 6am I went up from 10 to 15mmol. I took 3 units when I got up. I had a keto shake (7g carbs total). I've been walking around for...

Helllooo I'm 33 years old female, I've had type 1 now about 11 years and my control in the last 5 has not been good. I got covid in 2021 and it's made my blood sugars even more erratic. I rarely have hypos because my sugars are usually between 10 and 20 even before food, regardless of my Lantus...

Hiya, Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I went to a chiro yesterday for the first time as I have the posture of a cooked shrimp and am having terrible tightness, tension and pain in my suboccipital area and trap muscles causing jaw pain and headaches etc. She did 2 or 3...

Heya.. I need some reassurance on this if possible and not to panic. My control has been awful since I had covid in 2021 and I hit the 20s most days. I woke up low yesterday, ate about 30g of carbs and fell back asleep, and it had barely raised my sugars by the time I got up but was enough to...

Hi. Just wondering if any other diabetics here have occipital problems and how they manage it because I've been off work for 6 months with this and am struggling again on a phased return and it's making me worried I will never get back to full time. I'm a 33 yo type 1 and I've had type 1 since...

Hey all. I've been type 1 for 10 years now and in the last 5 years my control has not been good due to my insulin sensitivity changing rapidly day to day. My blood sugars are usually good in the morning but spike up the moment I eat anything. In recent years I've developed some digestive...

So I don't want to sound grumpy or miserable as I know most people are sun worshippers who love summer. But I absolutely detest it. I can't cope with it at all. I've been type 1 for 10 years now and since I was diagnosed I feel so unwell in the heat and sun once it reaches about 19 degrees...

Hey all. I got the libre on may 30th and I've been overjoyed with it so far. Its helped me adjust my basal and also made me notice that one of my daytime vitamins was causing my bolus not to work properly (it had niacin). Sadly my first sensor had to be ended 3 days early because on Friday...

Hey, I've been on Novorapid and Lantus since about 2014 I think. My hba1c have steadily gotten worse over time and now i have the Libre I'm noticing that Novorapid just seems really slow and erratic. I am taking nortriptyline for pain, esomeprazole for gastritis and vitamins. Sometimes...

Anyone else had this? I'm sceptical that this can last another 10 days. The sticky pad is firmly attached to my arm but the sensor has started to come away from the sticky pad if that makes sense. Only a little, it's still attached and working. Just worried it's going to not survive 2 weeks!

Hey all. I finally got the Libre on Monday after years of asking because my diabetes control has been awful the last 4 years. I had covid in Nov and since I've been unwell for a very long time and my diabetes control got worse - last hba1c was 110. I've been off work for 2.5 months with...

Hey all. Been poorly the last month and no answer yet but it seems like a nerve issue or muscle problem in my neck causing constant migraines, nausea and weakness and a bunch more symptoms but that is another can of worms. I'm taking amitriptyline but have not taken any for 48 hours. Noticed...

Hey all. Sorry this is long but I feel like I'm losing my mind and wanna know if anyone else has experienced this. I've been feeling really unwell lately, so much so that I cannot work or go out or do much. I had covid in November which then triggered a flare of gastritis and I've been on 40mg...

Hi guys, Have a quick question. I've had my Lantus delivered twice recently and on both occasions, it was not cold when delivered. It wasn't warm either, it just felt tepid. My pharmacy is not far so it won't have been out more than 1 hour. I am aware that once out of the fridge, insulin keeps...
