    Hello!

    Re: R: Hello! Thank you so much :). I totally agree with you, totally, about everything :-) Sometimes when my insulin pump is illuminated under my dress (for an alarm signal or something else) my son asks me about it and I say that I'm just like Iron Man ;) ~ Arianna ~

    Hello!

    Re: R: Hello! Hi and Welcome to the community :) I'm a type 1 too and mother of two little children (still healthy fortunately). Being a type 1 and my father a type 2, I'm always a little bit worried for my children. I've always been diabetic (or almost always. I was seven years old) and this...

    Tv

    Re: R: Tv It's not TV, but I really like two webseries at the moment: Emma Approved (adaptation of Emma by J.Austen) and the lovely The Autobiography of Jane Eyre (adaptation of Jane Eyre, of course :) ) Is anyone watching these webseries on You Tube? ~ Arianna ~

    Chocolate prices could increase.

    Re: R: Chocolate prices could increase. I'm on a very strict diet and I'm diabetic 1 (indeed! A diabetic here! :mrgreen: ) so this news is just great. I hope chocolate will reach something like 100 euro/100 grammes so no more temptations :evil: ~ Arianna ~

    Getting back on track

You did very well once so it's 100% sure you can do it again :-) you know what is the best for you and you also know how to achieve your purpose. What do you need? Willpower (and you have it already:-) ) and...

    Long trips with diabetes

    Re: R: Long trips with diabetes If you have a good ice bag you won't need electricity 24/7 but you'll need a refrigerator now and then anyway. You should try to plan your trip taking this need into account :-) In any case, as Glen said, why don't you learn all about insulin in India...

    Heres another :)

    Re: R: Heres another :) ;) When I travel my parents ask me (after 28 years of diabetes type 1!!): have you got a paper or something to prove you are diabetic? :roll: I've got an ID, a tag and a paper with my insulin pump instruction. What's next step? A brand with a hot iron on my forehead...

    Heres another :)

    Re: R: Heres another :) You're totally right but I think that "avoiding excess" (especially with alcohol) could be a good generic advice for a diabetic person. Of course we are not monks (or at least not all of us :)) and drinking too much can happen. In that case I think it's better to be...

    Heres another :)

    Re: R: Heres another :) OMG :shock: I'm so sorry for your father. I can only imagine his panic. But a policeman should check if a person is drunk or not (Breathalyzer) before arresting him/her :shock: ~ Arianna ~

    How much weight have YOU lost?

    Re: R: How much weight have YOU lost? I've just gone on a diet and I already feel so much better. My second-born is nearly 1 now and I really need to get back in shape. For no other but me :-) It's hard but I feel much better already :-) it's definitely worth it :-) PS. I'm using a nice...

    Heres another :)

    Re: R: Heres another :) Ehm...nice story :mrgreen: 2 important things : 1) Carrying always an identification tag (or official paper) with a gigantic writing like "I'M DIABETIC" . Clever people and clever cops usually check it before arresting someone! :lol: 2) avoiding excess and to avoid...

    Long trips with diabetes

    Re: R: Long trips with diabetes That's exactly what you have to do and you have to "trust" their refrigetators :-) It's the only way, I'm afraid. You can also carry your insulin with you in a sort of ice bag but you'll need a proper refrigerator now and then anyway. And don't forget your...

    Getting annoyed with my pump

    Re: R: Getting annoyed with my pump I see :-) next time I want to ask my consultant about it. I'm very inquiring and I wonder if I can get it easily here in Italy (I don't think so, but I'll try anyway ). Thank you :-) ~ Arianna ~
