    What am I?

    Hi - yes, Acute Pancreatitis. Thanks for feedback on the cgm - I just couldn't get my head around how it could not hurt. I can't seem to get any answers on how 2 bouts of AP have affected my diabetes - I think now being on pretty much T1 insulin dosage has me even more concerned. I've got a...

    Needle phobia - any advice on technique?

    Thanks becca, I'll def give that a try - although I'm going to need to get brave on it - Diabetic nurse said to inject into my thigh but still bottled it. Didn't think about it being Lantus itself. I've got 5mm needles - I didn't know about 4mm, I'll have to see if I can get some.

    I got way too cocky...

    Well, I've been an ultra-lurker on here for some 6 years or so - around about my first acute pancreatitis episode. Fantastic advice, measures and methods that I genuinely utilised to drop my sugar for a couple of years using low carb and keto, but on and off. As soon as I'd see pre-diabetic...
