Hi guys, my biggest worry is that it will be severe for us diabetics. Because we haven’t had a jab for this virus and i guess i’m worried about what will happen if any of us did. I try to keep positive because worrying isn’t going to change much but i suppose its easier said than done when they...

Hey guys, I’m not a massive drinker, i barley drink at all really but on the occasional party or occasion i do like a couple drinks. My usual go too is gin and slim line tonic because that doesn’t effect my blood sugars, does anyone else have any suggestions that also wouldn’t effect my blood...

Hey everyone. I suffer a lot with anxiety, mainly health anxiety which i think stems a lot from having type 1 diabetes. I’ve had it for 9 years now but i think the older i get the more anxious it makes me about my health. I’m looking into seeing a therapist about this because it’s not healthy...

Hey I have been getting really wrong readings lately with my Libre sensor. They are much lower than my blood testing kit (contour next). I have rung abbott 3 times now in the last month or so and it’s getting a bit ridiculous, it gets to about 9-8 days left and the readings start becoming...

I use Novorapid for my fast acting and Levemir for my slow acting. I split my levemir so i do that at 8-9pm and then again in the morning. Usually i eat around 7-8 but some nights it’s a bit later! Thank you for the help! I’m considering also injecting my levemir at 10-11pm instead

Hi guys, I’m living with type 1 diabetes, have done for 9 years now, and for the last few weeks my sugars are so high in the mornings (i even set alarms now just to check they haven’t gone too high). Take last night, i went to bed at 8.9 mmol, i woke up at 4 at 10.7mmol so i injected a small...

Hi guys, does anyone have any recommendations on how to prevent the flu. I get the flu jab but is there anything else i can take or do to take extra precautions?

Hi guys, recently for the past week i would say, i have a had an overly sensitive foot and bottom leg. i have felt this feeling before years ago but it just went away but it has stuck around and i’m not a bit concerned, i have been type 1 for nearly 9 years now, i know there’s a chance it could...

Hello, I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 9 years now and i also have coeliac disease. Since having coeliac disease my b12 has lowered from 440-180, so i went on b12 tablets to get them up a bit (as advised by my GP) and my blood test last week is now showing my B12 as 1207! Which is off the charts...

Hello, For the last couple nights my sugars have been sky rocketing in the evenings around 10pm to about 16mmol and not coming down. For the last 2 nights i have set alarms every 3 hours over night to wake up and check them and every time i inject but every time there still within the 13-16...
