Hi Katee, Sounds like he will grow up knowing all there is to know about your diabetes without much explanation ! I was diagnosed a year ago and my daughter is now 4, so she's learnt along with me about my condition. On the whole diabetes is pretty much matter of fact to her, she knows when...

Hi Twinkle, I'm only writing this because i'm having the same issues too, been running high all day and keep correcting to try and get into the 'normal' range. Do you have any infections ? are your teeth all ok ? Has your diet or activity changed much recently ? I'm reading Dr Berstein's...

Thanks all for your input, and Sam thank you so much for this link, that's so useful. I am still relatively new to type 1 so learning as I go along, but definately becoming more of an expert now ! Poor woman at Abbott getting an earful today, I just got so annoyed at someone telling me that...

Thanks for that Roberto, at least I know i'm not the only one who's having the same frustration :? I know different meters can register different readings and that you should always take blood from a different finger, but not particularly helpful when the swings are this much, as it's the...

I have been having problems recently trying to get my BS under control so my DSN recommended I try the Abbott Insulinx, I have been in the past using the Abbott Optium. I started using it this week and it's been great at correcting my doses when i'm running high, however yesterday morning, did...

Thanks for this information, i'll be getting one of these now. I am more concerned about having a hypo than running high so will probably just take less novorapid in the morning and run a little high during the day, and try and get a strap for my monitor to hang round my neck and keep tucked in...

Hi - I am currently involved in research at Bristol for the NHS as I am a type 1. The doctors are looking for newly diagnosed to participate in this research, so within the last 3 months. I am nearing the end of my rsearch and feel compelled to help them find more type 1's as I have found the...

Thanks again for your replies. I have been doing peptide research as newly diagnosed type 1 So having lots of bloods taken regularly which is how this has been picked up and had another blood test taken last week to confirm. The docs are fairly certain of the diagnosis and have asked me to...

Hi and thanks for replies, it's just trying to work out what I can and can't eat that's the pain, I only have wind and weight loss, the docs could see from my results that I'm not absorbing calcium, iron etc hence the weight loss so all signs point to coeliac. Also my sugars have been high and...

I have only been a type 1 for 6 months and recently had some blood tests which has shown that I'm anaemic and have low calcium which they believe means I now also have Coeliac disease, having another blood test to confirm. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone else with the same as...

Thanks for raising a subject close to my heart and sorry to hear about your collapse, however sounds like you were well looked after so that's good. I have always enjoyed a tipple so having discovered I was type 1 this year was a bit of a blow, I do enjoy a challenge and have worked a great...
