Hello, So I will hold my hands up and be completely honest (no one is allowed to tell me off ok![emoji28][emoji85]) I have used my tummy to inject my insulin, I've got into really bad lazy habits of not changing my needle every time and I tend not to rotate very much. I think it's because as the...

After reading your comment i phoned 111 and they advised my cough isn't to worry about and I should drink hot drinks and take plenty of vitamin C [emoji25]

Morning [emoji4] So it's been a strange couple of weeks. I work in an oncology day unit, so we have patients coming in and out all day as it is outpatients. Just last week we only had standard PPE, gloves and aprons. I has a risk assessment with my manager and sister in charge that Monday, the...

Hi there everyone. I am aware there is news coming anytime for people with underlying conditions and further adduce with the coronavirus. However, I am finding it so difficult to work out what's right to do for myself and for others safety! I'm a type one diabetic, working in a chemo day unit...

Thank you Ellie!! This is what I really needed, reading someone elses experience and just normalising it a little bit I guess. I'm definitely going to aim to keep my levels around the 6-12 mark and see if that will help. I have a telephone review in a month or so, it's nice to go back with...

I think to a certain extent you may be right, I think the main thing is because of how hypo aware I was before. I used to be a very bad diabetic, I'd just go off how I felt and inject x amount of insulin or drink some juice. (I know lock me up!) Anyway, I think to go from being so aware of my...

My hypo awareness has always been so so good. Maybe because I used to run high a lot so as soon as I got to 5/4mmol I'd start to feel shaky. Since having the libre I have been having highs and lows more often as previously posted on here... My hypo symptoms are next to nothing at the mo?!? I'm...

Hello lovelies! I'm struggling at the moment.. I take levemir split dose before bed and first thing in morning. No matter how perfect my before bed glucose, if I correct or what site I inject I just seem to be waking up glucose 16mmol plus. I have a libre and that shows steady incline during...

Hello! Do you know what you're a life saver mentioning this! I remember now when giving me the libre they said about this and with all the other information overload I forgot! I did this 3 am his morning and so far so good. Usually with a nightime hypo I'd wake up high but I didn't!! Fingers...

Has anyone ever seemed to get stuck in a cycle of hypos and highs? I'm literally bouncing around, as soon as I think it's levelling out I spoke or drop. What do people use as hypo treatments? I wonder if I'm over correcting? Feel so lost! FYI Ive recently started using libre, I'm on the 6...

Hello, So me and my other half managed to get a mortgage (yay!!![emoji537][emoji16]) And have been strongly advised to take out life insurance. Our mortgage advisor helped us apply for legal and general life insurance cover. After them requesting a medical report for me from my GP they...
