    Well so far not for me. Maybe one day. I Always have a high hb1ac, or been having lows trying to hard. Finally just started to get lower, but only after changing hospital and meeting someone who takes a little time to help me with decent advice. My background bolus figure was wrong, so I had no...

    Sometimes I'm OK, sometimes I get down. I find work difficult at times, but that's the physicality of it really. I try to carb count, but it's not always accurate, and if I'm away with work it's a nightmare guessing. Have you started counting? It's a gd guideline to use

    Hello fellow type 1. Welcome to the forum. It took me a while to come and join, and even then, I'm not always here. I recently started attending a diabetes UK local group, you should see if you have one local to you. Hope you enjoy the forum

    Hi elliw, welcome to the club! Did you give some blood samples? My thinking is, Could they be waiting for the results, so they can confirm the type? I'm sure it won't be long until you get a more definitive result. Then you will get into the right treatment plan. hope it goes well...

    Hi parki, I'm no expert but you may have been prediabetes for a long time before diagnosis? I was, it took at least ten years (a very stressful time) of me saying something was feeling wrong with me, to my doctors, before I was so far gone I was very ill and finally diagnosed. In my...

    type 1 diabetic - your honest experiences with your care trust

    Hi, I think the same in regards to thinking it's me. But I do meet healthcare professionals who are great, but seem to have met more who aren't. I know I'm a questioner. I always want to know how, why, where, what and when. I sometimes wonder if my constant questioning makes people feel I'm...
