How do you do a basal test? Is this something under your diabetic team? I have never heard of it before sorry..

Thank you very much for this x

Hello All, Really hoping to get some help and reassurance from anyone who is willing to help me! I have been T1D since last October. Being fairly new to it all I have now mastered the carb counting and had my medication rations (insulin) changed several times. Up until around 2 weeks ago it...

Hey all, I was diagnosed with Type 1 last October and prior to being diagnosed I had severe hair thinning... I lost loads of hair and was really affected by this. Thankfully it is starting to grow back but this is very slow and barely noticeable. Although I am grateful that it’s growing...

Hey Scott! Thanks for your advice - really useful to hear! I had done a couple of classes which were medium strength classes and my BG dropped significantly so like you say I need to bare that in mind and carry snacks with me I guess! I will have a word with my medical team about adjusting...

Good shout knikki! I will give that a go before I head out and tbh I am quite confident in adapting and trying things out to recognise patterns! I love cheese so that will definitely not be an issue. I had a pizza the other night and my BG didn’t spike at all, if anything I overcompensated for...

Good thinking with the undated letter! That would be much less faff. Love the idea for the travels sharps container too. Thankyou & have a good day! Beth

Hey Knikki, Yes I cannot wait! I love Italian food - however most of it is very high in carbs! If only I could pack my food scales with me [emoji23] I use the carbs and Cals app which is pretty good so will use that to get me by! Thankyou for the tips! I will definitely keep those in mind when...

Hey, just seen this and I completely get where Jim and others are coming from with the fruit side of things, it’s different for Different people and their diabetes... for me it seems to work. But remove the banana and maybe just having the protein yoghurt & berries and it may be a better option...

That infographic is really useful! Great - thanks for showing me that. It’s like a never ending challenge aha - you get it right one day and the next day can be completely different! ‍♀️

It doesn’t like being simple does it! Thanks for your comments though

So helpful! Thankyou Mei! Appreciate you comments. Will have a look into this! I can’t wait for holidays just want to be able to enjoy it without worrying about anything - so want to be prepared x

Hey Audrey, I have recently been opting for a small banana and one the yoghurts below! They are super low in carbs only 5g for the whole pot and only total to 81 calories. They are super filling too as they contain a high content of protein! Have a try and see how you find them! Lots of...

So... summer is approaching and I have my 1st holiday booked to Sorrento, Italy in June! I have only been T1 for 7 months and this will be my first holiday abroad since then.. If I am honest I don’t really know how or what I can do as of yet, to ensure I am as prepared as I can possibly be for...

Hey Freema, Thankyou very much! I definitely will be hanging around [emoji5]

Thankyou so much x

@Knikki @Antje77 @becca59 @marie2 @Fairygodmother @MeiChanski Thank-you so much for your all of you help! I really do appreciate it & I hope you all have a wonderful day. I’m definitely going to be taking on some of these tips. Like you say, diabetes is very individual and it takes a while...

Hey all, I have just joined this forum today and from what I can see it’s great to meet others who experience the same issues and help eachother get by with this annoying and horrible disease! I was diagnosed last October 2018 and managing considerably well so far but am just wondering does...
