That’s a good thought actually, I’ll have to try and remember that!

I’m not sure what I’m on exactly. I just inject what my meter tells me too

Hi, I’m not finding myself too much hungrier for carbs. I am finding myself hungrier after school but I don’t eat during the day so I assume it’s that. The consultants didn’t mention any tablets.

Hi thanks for the reply. I’m going for a blood test Friday I think and my check up is in 2 or 3 months. I am still on lantus and novorapid and they increased my carb/insulin ratio

Hi thanks for the reply :) My symptoms started very suddenly one time on holiday. Now I know this sounds stupid but I refused to go to the doctors for just over a year (yes I know how bad that is). In that time I lost weight without trying. I know my BMI is high as i am on the large size. Since...

Yes that does help explain it a bit more. Thank you :)

It’s just the whole constantly being tested and prodded by the hospital recently. Nothing against any types of diabetes.

Hi I’m 15 and, to be totally honest, on the large side. I’ve always struggled with my weight and now taking insulin seems to make me gain weight which I don’t need. I really want( and need) to loose weight but I have no motivation or knowledge how. I don’t have the time for exercising furiously...

So does the grey on the map mean it’s not free on the NHS? Was hoping to maybe get one :(

Great to meet someone my age :) I don’t know anyone with T1 around me so it’s nice to be able to talk on these forums :)

My latest (and first) HbA1c was 120, which i assume isn’t great
