Sugar tax is the problem. It was once a couple jelly baby’s to sort a hypo now it’s half the packet. I remember my first hypos and they were a scary affair. You do get to know the earlier signs. For me I start to think I have forgotten something. Then all the alarms start going off. Your...

I recently got the peloton tread and my legs are like Concreate so ordered one of them muscle guns tonight. It does not feel right I once able to run at least 5k a day. But I can use a bike all day long. I am putting it down to cobweb blowing st the moment.

I never inject based on BG when drinking. It’s not the same you literally **** it away your liver processing it also takes out BG. When ever I have tried to be cleaver it has never resulted well. Normally hypo while out which kind of ruins the night. Or a major crash the following day once the...

I order glucose by the box load of amazon and have them scattered everywhere. Car almost every room in the house, stables, gym bag, lap top bag. Instead of a pen you might want to have sachets of glucose. As was said you don’t want to really on an injection route as it would normally be the...

LOL I just realised this is 3 years old. LOL

At first I was under Blackpool I visited once got a load of what I thought was diff info. Luckily I am closer to Preston so went there. It’s a bit awkward getting bloods done I have to request them with the gp in Lytham and pass them to the consultant. I did visit the diabetic clinic and did my...

Getting moved onto a pump now and back to FISSP until that is sorted. Consultant can’t make head no tails of it anymore than me.

i just noticed your moderator and staff member. That is really interesting considering you did not actually read my post and answer my actual question. The answer should have only been yes or no

Had the opposite I can’t get my Hba1c under control. I have gone from a low 50 to 70. Changed insulin carb count like I am on a math challenge work out more than ever but nope it’s going on one direction.

The consultant would say my slow is right. Fast acting to me is not fast it takes for ever to bring BG down. The amount of insulin would be right but the time is 3 hours. I can accelerate that but end up in hypo. After breakfast I very rarely get down before lunch then get down again before my...

I did have some crazy first thing in the morning blood test I had to do at the hospital. That confirmed 100% type 1 when I was diagnosed the honeymoon period was already over. Interesting you mention anaemic. I only compare Hba1c with what the libre predicts and an actual blood test. Which with...

We’re to start with out giving so much data away it becomes a GDPR nightmare 43 type 1 for 4 years Using Toujeo 60 units a day Recently moved onto Lyumjev was on Fissp Roll the clock 2 years back my Hba1c was low 50’s Now it’s 74 mmol What does the consultant say well not allot really there...

Daxcom was the first sensor I used. It was daunting experience after being diagnosed for a week using this huge needle to get a sensor in my stomach. But then having to calibrate every 12 hours and it being way out when doing so. I did not like having something on my stomach just did not look...

They have a duty of care darn right they need to be brought to account. Mainly so they become diabetic aware and some poor sod does not die of a hypo they shove in the drink tank.

If you have to calibrate every 12 hours why bother with it? You might as well just do 3 tests a day.

Closer than daxcom that has to be said daxcom can be way out. G5 anyway. Not sure I even want to try the g6. When I actually remember to order a free style I rarely blood test unless I feel low and it saying I am a bit low. (Hope that makes sense)

One thing I also did when I became type 1 November last year was kind of force a hypo just to see what it felt like dextrose at the ready. I am now aware of what a hypo is and don’t panic.

How are folk finding access to dafne. I was told at Blackpool I should go on one in March in May they said it was doubtful this year in fact they did not know which year. I want to go on it because I want a pump and the course is a tick in the box to get one. You can’t private fund the course or...

McDonald’s is great you know exactly how many carbs so how much insulin to take. If your type 2 then your kind of screwed you either have enough insulin or don’t and end high I get tired when I eat something stupid and up around 30.

40 type 1 6 months.
