I have been using camAPS for just over a week, also read the reviews and was worried about relying on it but it has been a game changer for me, my control has improved massively. I have had a hypo every night which I don’t usually have, but the alarms work fine, only once during the daytime has...

Hi everyone, 3 weeks since my diagnosis and 1 week since 3 antibody tests confirmed a T1 diagnosis. I was still kinda hoping I had T2 so I could reverse it but at least I know for sure now, though I do still question it at times! As previously mentioned I was on a low calorie diet programme for...

I didn't realise non diabetics didn't (rarely!) have hypos! Now I understand. A few weeks in and things are much more settled now, it's like a switch went off overnight. Suppose this is the honeymoon period and I should enjoy it whilst it lasts!

How tonight is looking. Hmm! Haribo at the ready. Considering a bed time snack in future if have another hypo tonight. Dread to think what was happening before I was diagnosed, would often wake up covered in sweat

Alpro no added sugar is 5.6g carbs per 100mL so about the same as cows milk. You know the guy made me the wrong drink originally, vanilla oat latte, so it's possible...

Sorry to hear this. My BG was consistently at 20-25 and I wasn't feeling well (really thirsty, dizzy, dry mouth, nocturia) so I pushed for blood tests. If my lipase level had came back normal then I would still be classed as type 2 and on metformin. Next thing I will be asking for is a scan on...

It was just the syrup that was the sugar free element. I knew that milk would contain some sugar but didn't think it would contain that much. I don't usually drink cows milk. At home I have no added sugar oat milk and I do not drink lattes but instead tea. So lesson learnt, no more lattes for me...

Thank you for your advice. It is a latte with sugar free syrup. I usually have oat milk but theirs contains added sugar so I went for cows milk instead but I guess that is just as bad if not worse judging by what happened after! I will have to have a cappuccino in future when I have a coffee...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with T1 last week. My HbA1c was always ~35 and normal during my pregnancy so when it was 49 a year after giving birth (routine test) I was quite shocked. A GP diagnosed me with T2 and advised me to lose weight and I went onto the low calorie diet programme of soups...
