That makes sense [emoji106][emoji16]. I’ve been diabetic 40 years and can’t ever remember anything like it. Diabetes will never stop surprising me. [emoji51]

Hi Has anybody ever had anything similar to what I experienced this week? On Monday my BG spiked, I mean 17+. I have a pump so did corrections. But it didn’t come down, I kept pumping loads of insulin in me and it just stayed sky high. I changed the site, line, insulin and everything. Still my...

Me too! 40 years type 1 and on to 3 years now with RA. I’m having trouble getting the right medication for the RA. Going on to a JAC inhibitor this month. I refuse steroids as I can’t control the effects, even the pump up at 100.% doesn’t cut it. I just walk round dazed and confused with all...

Me too! Me too! I was 3 years old when diagnosed and now am 41 :wideyed: Nobody seemed to have heard of it when I was little

My goodness! I wish i had that amazing control on my pump. I sometimes think I should live in a hole where nothing no and no one can effect my diabetes. lol

Great! Thanks very much

Watching what? Not sure what to do with that comment, thanks anyway.

Hi Has anyone ever come off their pump temporarily, while going on holiday to sunnier climes? I'm talking about going back on to basal/bolus with pens, not just taking it off! [emoji23]. I'm asking as I'm going on holiday and want to sunbath and enjoy all the spa facilities, but I don't think...

Not sure how to use the quote thing properly, I just wanted to mention that diabetics should NOT take sudafed. It masks hypo symptoms. Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks [emoji4]

Hi all, I've been type 1 for 38years and am on the accu-chek spirit combo pump. I'm have real trouble controlling my sugars though. I've a Hba1c of 8 and am struggling to try and get my weight down. I think a CGM would really help, does anyone have one who's also on a pump? Any feedback about...

It's really common to suffer from depression when you have diabetes. I know there is one consultant in Leeds that was doing research in the link between the two. You definitely need to see your GP and be honest with them about how you feel, then they can help you in the best way possible. Keep...

I've had a 1.6. I was in A & E, the doctor wouldn't leave me because I was making too much sence! He was asking me the day, where I was and I answered it all correctly. He even asked who I thought he was and I read his ID badge and told him his name was Dr Ali. He was was amazed I wasn't...

Yes! This took me a while to find out and am glad I know, I'm type 1 with a pump so think it's easier for me. I cycle and find before excising I need to up my sugar and reduce my insulin. During exercise your liver produces glucose and feeds your muscles. This sugar stays around after you stop...

Haha, ur all nuts on this page. I luv it! :lol:

Hi, I had a prob with a receptionist. My doctor sorted her out I think, cos I have bi pilot as well as diabetes and my doctor got back to me. When I have the probs of such lethargy that I could fall asleep standing up it is generally the need for my anti depressants to be tweeked. My doc will...

Hey, have u tried a pump? I've been T1 diabetic for 35 years and have no physical complications. I've tried nearly every insulin there is and have never had 'good' control. Using a pump has helped me get the best control I've ever had! Had a pump for about 3 years now and wouldn't go back to...

Re: Did any of you type 1s have a virus before you got diabe Hi, only just seen this thread, but I was 3 when diagnosed. My sister and brother both caught mumps, then I (eventually) was diagnosed with diabetes. My parents have long before this research thought it was the mumps virus that...
