Does anyone know what this clinic is for? AAJ DSN CNS diabetes clinic I've had appointments in the DSN nurse clinic, the consultant clinic and the dietitian clinic but have never heard of this clinic before and hve an appointment with them

Anyone have any ideas or know of smallish tubs to put my freestyle libre test strips in. I found it so much easier carrying around my meter ect. When the strips were in tubs rather than individual packages so am hoping to find a tub or container or something to put them in ( even if I leave them...

Hi guys, My insulin to carb ratio has just been changed and to be honest I'm struggling to work it out. My ratio is 1.5units of insulin to 10 grams of food. I'm honestly confused about how to work this out and I didn't even realise until my appointment was over. I've tried some of the...

My blood sugar is 19.5 and I have no idea why it's so high. I've done nothing different today than I have for the last 2 years I've been diagnosed. I checked my ketones and luckily there are none present but it's so frustrating because I dont know why it's so high and it has been high all day...

Hi, im glad you got a meter. Its unfair that your team arent very helpful. Hopefully you can get some good advice on here. When I was first diagnosed I really struggled getting blood out aswell and I was using the highest setting on the lancing device after a while you'll feel comfortable...

Thank you. I got in touch with my hospital and it turns out they hadn't sent it yet,but thought it had been sent. This was the case for someone else as well. They suggested I get them from my prescription in the meantime and use my phone to scan while I wait for the reader.
