Just one other thing, if you have been prescribed oral steroids for any reason they can also increase your blood sugar.

I wear one from this company. https://www.medicalert.org.uk/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAodmtZEIth8DY7TLDzysIPas14DXY&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2rPmru2xjAMVKZtQBh0nODY-EAAYASAAEgIxZfD_BwE

I think the various separate appointments are probably because you are newly diagnosed. I have an annual appointment with a nurse who takes blood, blood pressure, weighs me and checks my feet. I take a urine sample to this appointment. The results appear on my nhs app and if needed I get a...

Libre is supposed to be ok in water for up to 30 mins. I swim regularly for longer than that so I cover mine with a waterproof tegaderm dressing which stays on for tge full 2 weeks of the sensor. If my phone is by the pool the sensor will connect to it so I do that in a private pool. In a...

iPhone 16 pro works well as did my 13 pro and 11 before it.

I prefer buying from this bakery because you can select a delivery date. I love the pizza bases made into garlic bread to use as a side with many things.

The rolls are the same ones as sold by the low carb food company.

If you are sleeping through the alarm can you turn it up? If you can treat the low (assuming it is not a false low) when it first goes off hopefully it then won’t keep going off. I keep hypo treatment by my bed so it’s easy to grab. For me two fruit pastels and a wholemeal biscuit usually fix...

I’m using iOS 18.1.1 on an iPhone 15 pro with no problems.

Yes, please speak to your diabetic nurse about Mounjaro. I was told they couldn’t prescribe it to me because I had background retinopathy.

I’ve been known to order a tuna jacket without the potato! Cue puzzled looks from the waiter but it works. Nds up as the tuna mayonaise usually with coleslaw or salad. I’ve done it with other hot fillings as well. Some places do an all day breakfast and will allow you to swap something like...

This is nice. Not as low carb as most products, but tastes like bread. https://lowcarbsourdough.co.uk/

I am allergic to all sorts of normal plasters and dressings, but I’ve been using the libre for three years and have never had a reaction to it.

I was like you. I’d been diagnosed for 12 years, now 63. Had been following a low carb diet which worked for a while then stopped. My diet hadn’t changed, I logged everything and was under 40g carbs a day. Couldn’t go lower because I’m on Empaglifloxin. Ran out of other options. Couldn’t try...

the best route is to go through a broker who specialises in medical conditions. Lifesearch is a large broker which does this (I have no personal connection to them). Or look for a website called unbiased.co.uk which has lists of independent advisers. If your diabetes is well controlled with few...

In the uk a normal life insurance policy would not exclude pre existing conditions.

My gP surgery (the diabetic nurse) and hospital clinic sent me a link so that I could give them access.
