Hi, I deleted my original thread because I'm changed the format and have made a survey for it to be more accessible and anonymous if need be. I'm collecting research into diabetes and eating disorders for a university assignment I'm working on. It would be great to hear your responses. (and get...

I'm trying to get my sugars back in control, I'm finding myself hypo up to 3 times a day and it's so exhausting. I've been a bit lazy with monitoring since I started university in September because I've stupidly been putting my education first. Really need to sort myself out before something bad...

I went to my diabetes check up appointment today and because I'm doing so well my specialist has suggested perhaps going on a pump. I don't know much about how it works, I'm researching now but I was just wondering if any of you could help me weigh out the pros and the cons and your experiences...

So recently I've been hypoing every single morning when I wake up, but yesterday morning I got up, I passed out/was unconscious/was fitting and my family had to call an ambulance. I've had enough now and I need to do something about these hypo's in the morning, I don't know what triggers then...

I was quite worried about drinking at a party at the weekend, however I had 9 glasses of vodka and Pepsi Max, and I was completely fine, obviously I don't drink often. That was the first time in 4 months so I'm happy

I'm going to a party tonight and I was planning to have a couple of diet cokes mixed with vodka. I'm taking some food with me so my sugars don't drop. Do you think this is okay if I'm responsible? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

A couple of my blood sugars have been above 10 the last two days and I can't figure out why. I haven't changed my diet, just 3 meals a day of the same variety of things. One biscuit a day to keep them from going low Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Obviously everyone is different...

Did anyone experience hair loss in your first month of Diabetes?

I am looking for a suitable beef curry recipe. I'm struggling to find one online. Does anyone have one? :)

Recently been on holiday in Cornwall and I found a shop that sold something called 'Raw Chocolate' It is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. I thought it tasted like very strong dark chocolate. However the only catch is it is £2.25 per 60g bar but when you are going to eat it, you don't eat...

Might be difficult to answer cos everyone's different. But I've been diagnosed a month and I've been told about the honeymoon period but I'm not sure if I'm in it yet. I've been having hypos pretty much daily atm. This morning my BS was 9.1 and I had 2 slices of Burgen bread and scrambled...

I just can't win, I either don't eat enough or I eat too much. Today has been one of the eat less carbs days. So stressed out

Very frustrated with this condition, I often feel guilty and beat myself up about it if I eat too much/too little or my sugars are too high. I also thought I was the only one struggling but I've noticed on this site that many people have highs and have problems with their food intake. I have...

For my lunch I had 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices of danish bread which are 10g per slice, 2 vegetarian sausages which are 4.8g for both, a small portion of fried mushrooms and 2 hash browns which are 17g carbs for both. Then also a packet of crisps after which were 10g carbs for the packet. So in...

Yesterday I had 2 slices of danish bread, scrambled egg, fried mushrooms, a sausage and some slice of ham and my BS only went up 0.3. I thought this was great because normally I have porridge and it sends it up by about 2. Have you guys found any breakfasts that don't affect you too much...

Has anyone found any low sugar yoghurts? Struggling to find any

I'm a newly diagnosed type 1 and it would be nice to find out what foods affect you and what foods don't, any low carb recipes etc

Diagnosed 2 weeks ago, having to ring a nurse every day to tell them my blood sugars. Rang him on Friday before he's off for the weekend, and he added 1 more unit to my novo-rapid evening meal, he knew I was going to hypo over the weekend and I have hypo'd 3 times. Not sure if it's because i've...
