Thanks everyone, I don’t know why I never thought about it before but I think I’ve left a lot until the last minute in case the trip got cancelled like last year and now it’s coming around quickly

Hi, I’m travelling by Eurostar in a couple of weeks and have only just started panicking about whether I need a letter or anything from the gp. I haven’t been abroad since being diagnosed nearly 4 years ago and have just thought of it like a normal train, completely ignoring the security checks...

No, nothing special, just the bd viva ones... I’m not 100% on what she actually said, I’d had a long week at work and had just finished today and was a bit fed up of waiting. I just got the main gist of what she was saying which was they can’t get them ‍♀️It’s just a bit frustrating that it’s...

when I picked up my prescription I was given a ‘we owe you’ slip for my needles as they didn’t have them, I went back in today to see if they had come in and was told after waiting a little while that they couldn’t supply them anymore, or something along those lines and that my best option was...

@becca59 I usually have cereal (cornflakes/weetabix)so fruit and yoghurt is a good thing to try, it just seems to be the last week or so that I’ve woken up high, it is so frustrating. The one night I went to bed slightly higher than normal, I ended up coming down and then staying fine through...

It can sometimes rise up to 15ish, no matter how long before I’ve taken my insulin or what my levels were first thing. I just can’t seem to get it right and yeah I seem to be waking up at 4/5am every morning, I’m constantly tired. It’s just really frustrating.

I’m still fairly new to this, having only been diagnosed at the beginning of the year, but since having the freestyle Libre I’ve noticed that I tend to spike after eating before it comes down again. I’ve started trying to take my insulin at least 20 mins before eating, however I’m still having...

Thank you, I’ve not really thought about it but then one little thought seems to stick and then I panic slightly . I am going with my sister and auntie who I know will keep on at me even if I forget, making sure I’ve got snacks and keep checking. It’s just a different experience to every other...

I am going to London for a few days in June and going to a live show at Wembley stadium whilst I’m up there, it’s the first time I’ve gone anywhere since being diagnosed at the beginning of the year and I’m just wondering how to deal with the change in routine ie more walking, being out all day...

My sharps bin that I got from the hospital after diagnosis is now nearly full, I was just after some advice as to how and where people take them to dispose of and how to get new ones? Do I need to go to my doctors surgery or can I take it to my pharmacy to replace it? Any advice is helpful and...

Being diagnosed at the beginning of this year with type 1 seems to have messed with my plans to lose the weight I’d put on last year. I haven’t put any more on but I can’t seem to shift any either, I don’t know if it’s just me or whether being diabetic makes it that little bit harder? Anyone...

Thank you, it’s good to know I’m not alone in feeling rubbish about it. So far I’ve been told I’m doing well, and I don’t want to get to the point where I’m feeling so down about it that I stop caring about taking care of myself. Luckily I feel like I’ve got a good support system of people who...

Thank you everyone, you’ve all helped me feel slightly better about it all. Some days I feel completely ready to face it all and other days I want to just hide away. I haven’t always put myself first, always worried about other people more, and now I’m trying to start learning how to do that. I...

Hi, I was diagnosed at the beginning of this year after being ill over Christmas. I had all the classic symptoms yet I was oblivious to the fact that they all pointed to one thing. If work colleagues hadn’t forced me into going to the doctors I don’t know how long I would have left it before...
