Hi, Have been type 1 for 17 yrs, since I was 12, never really had great control, but now seeing a dietician and going in the right direction. But I find now my sugars are better controlled, they are so much more sensitive to an unexpected change in my environment. Today I had to get off my...

I don't drink tea or coffee, so drink fruit juice in the morning, then just diet coke after that. I know I can't drink more than 1 can with dinner other wise I never sleep. But I know I rely on the caffeine, if I have anything else during the day, I get really tired! Sent from the Diabetes...

Re: Postcode lottery? I've found when I was first diagnosed, when I was 12, my diabetic team were brilliant. And generally the hospital side of it all is great, it's my gp that is less helpful, they are more used to seeing type 2, so in the past, particularly when I get stomach bugs, that, I...

I've never been stopped, but as I find the pens heavy, I use syringes and I feel very awkward about doing it publicly, I think there is six a junkie stigma. but have managed to learn how to do it quite discreetly. Although that only really works when I'm siting down. I've recently changed jobs...
