Hi, yes I'm very active. I'm a gym goer and aside from my rest days I do a lot of cardio as well as weight training.

Good evening everyone, I hope everyone is well [emoji4] I have a question about Oedema.... Since Sunday 6th Feb I have been waking up with super thick eyelids (looks as if I've been punched in the face) as well as my feet having a rounded appearance on top and they swell so much I can't put...

Hey everyone, hope you're all enjoying this beautiful sunshine we're having? [emoji274] quick question really..... which is the best product you have used to keep your Libre Sensors in place? I've had my sensor just under 2 months now and this weather (and a few door frames) have seemed to make...

Thank you so much for the info [emoji1431] There's no way I'd be able to self fund so feel so fortunate (how lucky we are to have our NHS) that they are willing to let me try the Libre. It takes a while for me to get my head around new things I suppose mainly because I get anxious so you...

Hi @Jaylee thank you [emoji4] I don't know a great deal about them if I'm being totally honest, she just said I can use it as a better tool to better monitor my BG levels [emoji1693]

Thank you so much for the link, I shall take a look [emoji4]

Hello everyone, It's been well over a year since I've last been on here as I'm sure we've all been overwhelmed with other things. I have today had my first diabetes check up consultation in over a year and we have been discussing a bit about the possibility of me having a Libre Sensor. I feel...

I went to Sainsbury's before closing time for the first time last Sunday and even though it was beautifully quiet I was so nervous. That's the first time I've been out since lockdown, I need to do more little trips as I'm quite an anxious person anyway.

Yeah I'm in good ol' blighty. Thank you so much I shall enquire [emoji847]

Thank you [emoji847][emoji847]

Last night I ate at about 5.30 pm and it was nothing heavy, just a chicken breast with salad and I injected 8 units of Lantus just before bed at 11:15pm. I don't snack really in between either so I just don't know?

Hi @worriedwart I have been Type 1 for 17 years and have always attended regular eye checks, they've always come back as satisfactory until my latest check which said 'diabetic retinopathy', I'm very much like yourself and tend to over worry but I was reassured by others on here who sometimes...

Good morning all, I hope everyone is well? I'm new around here and this is only my second question to the forum.... I've been Type 1 for 17 years and to be honest I still haven't got this thing tied down well! So last night my BG was a nice 5.2, I was so happy thinking yes I'm in the green, but...

Thank you so much for your response, I really appreciate it. I must stop worrying and graft hard to get those levels back 'normal' range for me [emoji4]

Hi Scott-C, Thank you so much for your response, it's re-assuring hearing from other diabetics! I can't believe I have only just found this platform (clearly been living under a rock). It shook me when I got the letter and it's certainly given me focus again that's for sure. [emoji4]

Hi Bill, Thanks so much for responding, I'm new here and literally have no idea what I'm doing haha! You've put my mind at ease (like you have no idea). This sure was a wake up call for me to gain better control of my diabetes again, I guess I got complacent and youth helps you out a bit...

Hello everyone, I have been type1 diabetic since I was 18, I'm now 35 and have always attended my diabetic eye screenings. They have always come back as 'satisfactory', apart from my recent screening which came back indicating diabetic retinopathy. I didn't sleep well at all that evening...
