    And also for some type 1s. I've never been on the DAFNE course. I dont follow dafne and I have no intention of going on or following dafne. And for me personally I am not talking about my sugars spiking after food. I'm talking about them being high at irregular random times. At present they...

    This is incorrect. It shouldn't raise anymore than 2mmol/ls 2hours after eating. I've been diabetic a very long time. Low carb doesn't work for everyone. I cant do low carb. @grant-Vicat yeah I'm aware illnesses can cause Bm fluctuations for extended periods. It isnt that. I've have stable...

    Yours could be because you've not had breakfast and insulin your liver has released some glucose for energy for the body. I do feel like I want to scream. I just feel like crying and giving up. I'm trying to stay strong and carry on. But all I want to do it curl up and cry and cry. I feel like...

    I've had several bad issues with low carb and with counsellors which is why I won't. I have isolated at all. I've worked the entire lockdown. I never got a "letter" to self isolate. I take levemir twice a day. Morning and evening. Its like one day my regime is working and the next its not...

    Oh no 8.2 isn't my worst but I just feel I'm going back that way. And because my diabetes isn't great atm or recently I'm finding myself have depressive thoughts and episodes. Yes I've checked my basal. No I'm not on the pump. I tried the medtronic couple of years ago and absolutely hated it...

    I'm sorry about your daughter. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I will tell you straight I won't be walking with a coach/counsellor. I feel much much much worse. I've tried several times in the past with different ones and I've left feeling even worse than before. Wanting to...

    Struggling - mentally, physically, type 1diabetes, depression

    I understand what your saying but low carb doesn't work for me. Even with only 2 units I hypo. And I have no energy at all. Because of my busy career and being on my feet and moving all day that also causes me to go hypo. Hence needing carbs. If I don't have insulin my sugars rise...

    Thank you. I should be asleep getting rest before tomorrow's shift but im just lay here on this page with things in my mind. Will I hypo? Will I go high again? Why do I bother? I feel temporarily the omitting insulin and cutting will help. But I know longterm it won't. Not in the slightest...

    Does anyone here have type one and has contracted the COVID-19 virus?

    Hi Katy, I have had covid-19. Back in March/April. Feel free to message me if you like. I wouldn't say it was the nicest experience but I managed to get through it. I'd had awful headache for 3 days nothing would shift it, no fluids, food, pain relief would head. I woke up feeling okay, went...
