The one positive of myself having type 1 diabetes is that I can help my 14 year old brother with his diabetes (he was diagnosed a year ago). I can relate to him and him to me. Because ive had it for 10 years I've learnt a lot and feel he listens to me more than our mum because I actually have...

I'm 21 and was diagnosed when I was 11. At the beginning my mum controlled everything for me and I was doing okay. The problem was I never bothered to listen to what the nurses were saying so never really learnt how to manage it myself. When I turned 15 I completely rebelled and started drinking...

I carb count and adjust my insulin and find it works really well for me because I've learnt how many units to have per 10g of carbs. However it took a lot of trial and error to get there! :( I live by the carbs and cals book and don't know what id do without it! But obviously everyone's...

She said that she thinks your percentage should have been raised. She said ifits taken to disciplinary put in a grievance under the Equalities Act formerly the DDA. She also asked who is your rep and which Tesco do you work in?

I work for them also. Bear with me, I'm just talking to my mother in law because she is a senior union rep and knows a lot because she helps me. :) But as far as I'm concerned I didn't thing they could disapline us if it was diabetes related. But hang on, I'll get back to you ASAP. :)

Sounds very much like Tesco. :(

Thankyou for all your replys. :)

Hello, whilst I've been reading through the forum I've come across the term "liver dump". I was wondering if someone could explain to me what this is?

When I was diagnosed I ignored and neglected it but now I always tell myself, I control my diabetes, my diabetes does not control me. Now I've got the hang of it (took me 10 years!) I will try my best to maintain it. I wish you all the best and do really hope that one day things will become alot...

I missed my Lantus dose last night as I was so tired I feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow! :( I took 12 units (normally have 24 at 10:30pm) at 12:30 today. Should I take my normal 24 tonight or will it overlap and cause low BS? Or should I wait till 12:30 tonight? Please help!

I was in hospital a couple of weeks ago with DKA. I was also put on a sliding scale but luckily the nurse did come every hour to check my blood glucose. To start with they put me on a potassium drip and a insulin drip but the dozy nurse failed to put a glucose drip in also. As you can imagine...

Mine was 7.4 in november. Last time they tested it, it was 10.9 so im pretty happy.
