I got diagnosed T1 a month ago at the age 45. My boss was brilliant, very concerned, wanted to know more and then did a risk assessment for me explaining to all staff where my hypogel was, how to spot a hypo and treat it. Sounds like I'm very lucky after reading some comments on here. Just to...

Thanks for that, I just got my free libre 2 today and was concerned that the readings are about 2mmol/l out from finger prick test. I'll keep an eye on it x

I had AZ and was really ill with it, about 3 weeks afterwards I was diagnosed with T1. Although I'm sure I must've had it before the jab, after I had it I lost more than one dress size in 2 weeks and got all the other symptoms. I think being low and ill may have exasperated it. I will still have...

Hi and welcome! I was diagnosed nearly 3 weeks ago and after running at 20mmol/L for god knows how long, I found that as soon as I got into the normal bracket of 5-7mmol/L I would go lightheaded and shaky. I collapsed on my kitchen floor 2 days in and that was only 4.8mmol/L. It does get...

Thank you so much for all the advice, it's great. Yes, I eat late because my kids don't get home until 8pm and then I go to bed a few hours later. They also only circled every other time on my book to fill in. Thanks for the food tips. Although great news, my doctors rushed through a script...

Thank you. I've got another appointment with the clinic next Friday so I will go with a list of questions ready. I'm sure once I understand it more, I will get on better with it (great news about Haribo) x

Thank you all so much for your supportive words and advice. It's just so new and I think I've just gone into a bit of a panic. I'm not much of a big eater during the day, never have breakfast, sometimes a sandwich for lunch but not often and don't tend to snack (apart from Hariibo and that's...
