It's good to know that it doesn't happen to everyone. I think maybe I have a complex about it because its literally the first thing my dietician ever said to me! 'How much weight did you lose? Well it's all going to go back on' Obviously id rather it didn't :P Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic.

Hi all :) I'm a fairly newly diagnosed t1 diabetic. Before I knew that I had diabetes, I lost 3 stone due to the undiagnosed condition. I was never extremely fat, but I was a stone or 2 overweight for my 5'4 height, and this weight loss put me slightly underweight. Since going on insulin, I've...

Thank you for all of your help, guys. I should have mentioned that during these periods of exhaustion I check my blood sugar levels and they're usually normal :\ I thought at first that it was just low blood sugar too but I think it may just be my body getting used to exercising with lower...

Thank you :) It'll all become the norm soon I'm sure Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi everyone, Just a quick question. I've only been diagnosed as type 1 for a little over a month, I'm still in the honeymoon period and my blood sugars are usually between 4 and 8 these days, so I decided to get back to exercising again. The other day I went swimming for about 45 minutes and...

Wow, really? I'll definitely take it as a good thing from now on! I felt like I was ready to pass out at 3.2, I can't imagine 1.9! I guess it's because my body had been so used to crazy hypers all the time before I was diagnosed that even 3.2 feels super weird. :) Laura x Newly diagnosed type...

:) Newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic.

Wow, seriously? Well I already know (unfortunately) that I'm not like the guy you work with. My readings at the moment seem to range from 4-10 normally which I think isn't too bad as its only been a month. The lowest I've been so far is 3.2. I seem to be super sensitive to hypos at the moment -...

I can't wait for the background irritation stage, haha. :D The honeymoon's not over yet ;)

Hahaha! That made me laugh ;) The honeymoon's not over yet ;)

I like that idea weewillie :D hopefully you won't have cause to ask anyone about the fine print...but you never know! My thought of the day is pet related..and is more of a story that happened to me earlier today. My cat has a habit of stealing things from handbags and today I witnessed him...

Hi Laura :) I'm Laura too. And I'm type 1 as well. I've was only diagnosed a little over a month ago and I still have no idea what's going on for the most part ;) This is my first time on these forums. I could use some diabetic friends too :D The honeymoon's not over yet ;)

Thanks for all your replies, everyone :) I'm finding it extremely frustrating at the moment, and really hoping to have a short honeymoon period ;) It's good to know that other people are going through/have gone through the same thing as me though. That's the great thing about this forum :) So...

I was on 9,9 and 11 units of fast acting and 14 of basal, but now this silly honeymoon period has kicked in which has changed my doses to around 2 or 3 of fast acting and 10 basal. It's pretty annoying at the moment, my body is obviously randomly producing insulin so I can't really tell how what...

Hi :) Thank you. I'm excited to learn from everyone. The honeymoon's not over yet ;)

Ah, thank you that's very helpful. I'll know what to do for next time now, as this was the first time I had gone out since being diagnosed and I had no idea it would affect me this morning too. Lots to learn I guess :) Thank you for your help. The honeymoon's not over yet ;)
