Thank you everyone for your advise and support, I've gotten rid if all the snacks and plan to start my exercise dvd tonight. x

my main problem is snacking in evenings as DH drives taxis, 4 year old daughter is in bed and it's me and the snacks cupboard!!! We go to Ibiza in 9 weeks and my weight has crept up and up and is a bit scary now. I want fast results and a friend has lost 12lbs in 2 weeks no carbs but I know that...

Hi Lenya21 I was diagnosed with Graves Disease when I was about 13 and eventually had my thyroid removed at 21, this changed my life totally for the better. I am now on a level dose of thyroxine and have a faint scar on my neck but if I had to I would have the op again. I have my levels...

I tend to drink Vodka, lime and soda. low cal, low carb with a bit of taste. Although I try not to drink as I get carried away too easily!!!

I was offered the pump as we are hoping to try for child #2 this year and was told it helps with control and reduces chance of hypos which has always been my worst fear being responsible for a toddler. I had a good long chat with my DSN and have decided to carry on with it as I am seeing the...

Thank you very much for all your help. My DSN is ordering me some angled insets as I have had quite a lot of stomach surgery and she feels this May make navigating around the scarring easier. I also got skin wipes to help the area more sticky which I will try on my next inset change. She said...

Thank you very much for your replies. I will speak to my DSN today and go over my cannula insertion. I don't want to give it up so I probably do need to have more patience. X Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Has anyone else not liked being on a pump? I've had mice since 25th November and since then I've had my cannula come out twice and bend once instead of piercing in so each time had to get my count back down. I also find it harder to get intimate with my husband and I worry about it constantly! I...

That's all really handy especially the babies mittens idea Dougal, I have plenty singles ones lying around!! Thanks :)

Hello I am due to have my Animas Vibe pump fitted from 25th Nov and am very excited about this. I have had a push button session where I wore it with saline for a few days and the only thing I cant get used to is wearing it at night. I am a really restless sleeper so don't feel comfortable...

Hi Can I ask what this is? Sounds like something I would find useful too as I also have big highs and lows.

We are holibobing in July and staying in a travelodge (classy I know) and I am unsure how to keep my spare Novorapid pen cool as we are away 6 days and with much eating out will probably need a little more insulin than usual. I havent been on holiday since diagnosis. Will a cool bag work for...

My brother diagnosed type 1 when he was 15 (17 years ago) and a 2nd cousin also type 1 since she was a baby. I was diagnosed type 1 last year and have had Graves disease and thyroid problems since I was a teenager resulting in a thyroidectamy (sp?) 12 years ago. I think this is connected...

I was 33 (a year ago next month) and had had borderline GD during pregnancy late 2010 but this was controlled through diet. In Jan 2012 I was diagnosed with type 2 but in the May after falling very ill then diagnosed type 1 (my brother is also type 1 and I have a history of Graves disease and...

At diagnosis 11 months ago I was 12.7 and last month was 7.8. Finding it really hard to get lower but will keep trying :D

Re: Injecting & testing in public Hi You are not being paranoid at all. I work part time at the local airport and I test at my desk but turn around to inject in my tummy. Normally whenever I get my kit out it starts a conversation on if its sore, what you can eat, etc which is fine with me...
