Hi Andrea. Thanks so much for this, thats very helpful. Having looked it up im sure that i have something similar so i have atleast some idea when i visit the Doctor. Thanks again, much appreciated and hope you are well!

Thank you for that, really useful. The patches seem to be darker rather than lighter which makes me think it’s potentially something else. Will certainly look into this though. Thank you

Thanks for your reply! Thats a good shout in terms of possibly an insulin reaction. Will certainly look into this! Thanks

Hi all, hope you are well. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced a similar symptom. For context, i am a 26 year old male with relatively good Hba1c (5.7%). Over the last year i have developed a skin condition which has been itchy and is darker than my skin tone. It started...

Re: University! Thanks very much you've all been very helpful. Will need to look into it!

So im a young lad trying to get back into good shape after being diagnosed in March. I was wondering what protein shake people take (if any) to bulk up which is suitable for diabetics (low carb) i have currently got Lamberts whey protein. Any suggestions are welcome. Sent from the Diabetes...

This is how i feel. However a person without diabetes also has a similar feeling, when people are hungry there blood sugar levels go down. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Don't know if this is silly, but i agree with the DVLA. If it means reducing the risk of harming yourself and others then these measures have to be taken. Especially people that don't get all the symptoms or lack awareness of hypos. It can be fatal as mentioned. Just my opinion though. Sent...

So i got diagnosed in early march, and lost a lot of weight around 2 stone, anyway since diagnosis i have injecting in my abdomen, until recently as it has been hurting a bit, and when i press down on the areas i can feel thats its kind of bruised. Is this scar tissue? I have recently started...

Im 17 newly diagnosed so in a similar position. However I've had a bit to drink a couple of times since diagnosis, even my DSN said to carry on doing the things you would normally do, just be a bit more cautious. For example the first couple of times i just took some sweets with me and had one...

This might sound really silly so excuse me. My DN and everyone says not too many takeaways etc, and almost no sweets or chocolate i assume this is because they spike your BS levels the most? Being fairly newly diagnosed, i might ask silly things so please excuse me! But surely if you take the...

Just to let you guys know i had one this morning with the needed Novarapid, and my sugars were fine. Quite normal in fact, but will see how it affects me. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I defo wouldn't worry, thats exactly what happened to me. Your nurse or diabetic team will adjust your levels, for a couple of weeks or until you start carb counting. Your ketones seem fine, if there over 1 then i would advise calling up, but its normal so don't worry! Sent from the Diabetes...

So before i got diagnosed i used to have a energy drink in the morning called 'Emerge' you may have heard of it. After diagnosis i automatically thought that i wouldn't be able to have them anymore, i looked on the nutritional info and it says 10g carbs for every 100ml, as the can is 250ml it...
