Morning all, Really just here for some reassurance but I would be interested to hear some others input on this topic. 2020 is my 8th year as a diabetic (diagnosed July 2012 at age 21) and since then my control has been extremely tight. Every year my HbA1c has been considered "too low" by my...

Afternoon all, I had a query regarding some recent advice I got from a new DSN. I haven't been seeing any diabetic specialists regularly for around 6 years as I was discharged from the service about 1 year after my diagnosis as I self taught how to manage my diabetes pretty strictly and they...

Is anyone else on here a fan of quark? For people who have no idea what I'm talking about and think I'm making bird noises, quark is a fat free, low carb, high protein creamy soft cheese/yogurt. In a whole 250g pot there is only around 9gs carbs and you can use it in so many different ways. I...

Thought this would be an interesting topic to start up. Just wondering what everyones blood sugar readings were when they were first diagnosed? For myself i first received a reading of 13 at Sainsburys funnily enough. I went for a wellness check up whilst fasted and was told i should book an...

It hasn't really, i just wanted to get you in here. Im ashley, diagnosed type 1 two years ago on FRIDAY THE 13TH of july, a month and a bit before my 21st birthday. I was never sceptical...and I'm still not, but i feel like it makes my journey sound more interesting. Over the last two years...
