I’ve been doing low carb -up to 50 carbs per day - for couple months and am really pleased with the initial weight loss of 10lbs within 3 weeks. However I’ve been stuck at the same weight for 5 weeks and I’m getting really frustrated. Is there any way I can kickstart the weight loss again...

I can’t find an app that will wirelessly transfer my data from the monitor to my iPad. Is there such a thing, or can this be done only in Windows? Thanks

I'm 63 and have had diabetes T1 for almost 40 years. My management is good and control reasonable. I don't often get a cold but it seems the last few times I've had one the effects have been really bad. Instead of shaking it off and continuing with my daily life, I'm now totally debilitated for...

After eight hours waiting in A&E with a non-diabetes related problem, no sleep the following day to make it up, having to sort out Mum because she was assaulted that night, I was beyond shattered when I came to do my evening insulin, and got my doses mixed up. 36 Novorapid and 6 Lantus instead...

Recently I noticed a nasty smell coming, as I thought, from the bathroom. Then it was in the bedroom too, and try as I might, I couldn't find the source. This week, to my utter horror and total embarrassment I've found that the smell is coming from me. When I'm not wearing a bra sweat from...

No way can I go along and either not eat their food, or run to the loo every couple of...

Hi I started low-carb three weeks ago. At five foot nothing and 11stone 2lbs I looked horrible and my sugars were all over the place. I'm on an insulin pump and admit I went mad on carbs, especially Crunchie bars which I love. Since starting low carb, I've stuck rigidly to about 30g or less...

Ive had type 1 diabetes since 1981 and am now almost 60. Before getting it, I can distinctly remember wearing low-backed dresses and other risqué (well, for the 60s/70s!) outfits, but for many years now I've had the most horrible acne-like spots on my back. They itch all the time and drive me...

This is the first time I've used the site so I hope I'm in the right place for the subject. I'd like to vent a little as nobody in my life seems to understand my feelings, and I hope perhaps other T1 diabetics can give some support or comfort. It will involve a lot of usage of the word 'I'...
