Last July 2020 for me. Because I was losing weight very quickly (3 stones) within a few weeks and going to the toilet a lot and blurred vision, had a blood test at 15.30 at 22.00 I received a phone call from the hospital to ask, if I was ok. My HbA1c was 138. That didn't mean anything to me...

Hi, it's a pity we all live in different directions... it would have been great to meet up. I was diagnosed with type 1 last year during lockdown, with all the golf courses closed I could manage my BG levels very well and stay within the range 6 to 8. But now I am backing playing golf, OMG my...

Hi Are they any fellow golfers and type 1ers who would be interested in meeting up for a round of golf and a chat? I live in Lancashire, look forward to meet fellow golfers (male & female). Many thanks Kate

I will do a test now. Also will check with my diabetic team. Thank you for your advice.

No I haven't, should I do a test. And what is a dawn phenomena? Thank you

Hi All Just wondering if this is normal in T1. Recently around 4.30 to 5.30 in the morning I start to have a sick feeling in the stomach. I am never sick but it does wake me up. I then do a scan and usually my BG levels go up!! Is this normal in type 1. Many thanks Kate

Hi James Well the last couple of times playing golf, I'm usually out for 4/5 hours and during the game my BG rise to 13 not sure why. Before going out I do check my BG which can range from 6 to 8. When it reaches 13 and above, I never know if I should inject there and then or wait until I...

Hi Everyone Firstly a brief history of me. Age58 and wrongly diagnosed Type 2 last July. Still rapidly losing weight, 3 months on after having a C-peptide & antibodies tests, I was diagnosed Type 1 in November. Totally out of the blue, no one in my family has diabetes, so all very new to...

Yes I'm in England. And I will request my results. Thank you all for the helpful advice. X

Ill definitely use the monitor and see what triggers the sugar highs. Thank you X

The doctor just said 137 and is still very high. They didn't say which range the test was done.

Hi usually in morning it's special very low bran flakes then I put in blueberries, raspberries with semi skimmed milk. Lunch homemade soup like butternut squash. Supper is usually chicken & sweet potato & vegetables. To be honest I'm not counting my carbs. Maybe I should, I don't know. All this...

Hello just had my 3 months check up and I'm gutted I've only gone down by one to 137, which is still very high. I've been on a low carb diet, i don't smoke and very little alcohol. Very active but I'm still losing weight without trying (which is a concern). I'm now down to 9 & half stone. I was...

Hi My BMI was just over the normal it's definitely in the normal range now. Like you have said, maybe the doctors just look at age, weight and make a judgement on that. In fact the doctor hasn't seen me yet it's just consultation over the phone because of covid. I'm not gaunt in fact people...

Thank you all for the information, I'm definitely going to ask if my weight doesn't stabilise soon. At the time I did mention to the doctor &. clinic nurse I was concerned about my 3 stone loss because I think it's now muscle mass but they weren't really over concerned about that. My next re...

Morning, Thank you for the very useful advice. I'm not sure what tests have been done apart from the usual blood test. I presume the GP should know?? I've haven't been told to use a blood sugar meter yet and to be honest I wouldn't know how to use one. I'm hoping my weight loss will plateau...

Hello everyone I've been recently diagnosed with diabetes, to be honest I'm still in shock I've got it. I thought I was a healthy person, very active and ate healthy. My reading is very high of 138 I really don't know what it really means apart from I need to get it down. GP has put me into...
