Oh yeah, a bit of a cryptic title but a method to my madness.... We're all well aware of the horrible hypos but I am just curious how low folk have ever been with their BG; and your symptoms? I am quite sensitive to insulin, only taking 2-3 units of basal and then 2-3 units of rapid per...

I was on FB today and a friend had posted up this... http://www.everydayhealth.com/columns/my-health-story/year-of-no-sugar-one-family-grand-adventure/ It would be good to hear what you all think. Plus, I reckon the book would be a good read if nothing else :-)

I was just reading some clinical journals at work today (I am a Vet), and found a very interesting piece showing possible developments in the treatment of Type 1 diabetes. As per usual the headlines were hyped up but the content was an eye opener. Basically as of next year the human trials...

I am so happy atm as my last Hba1c came in at 40mmol/mol! This is with me on Humalin m3 @ 4iu morning and 6iu evening. My consultant would like me to reduce my insulin to 3iu morning and 5iu evening; then prepare to go onto the Basal-Bolus regime. So, over the course of 1.5yrs my Hba1c went...

Well there may be hope for us Type 1's yet :) If this research continues then one day they'll be able to tackle this condition. Might be too late for us but think of all the generations to follow...

Hi All, Well, I have purchased my first house and all going well until I looked into Insurance. Life insurance is not so much of an issue but critical illness is more than a pain in the ****! Basically not a chance in hell it seems like! You know, I would have thought in this day and age with...

Hey all; just curious really at all your diagnostic BG levels. What I mean is the reading you got that lead to a +ve diabetic diagnosis. So, for example, after having the "classical symptoms" for a while I then went to my walk-in centre and my BG was checked. It registered in at 26mmol/L !!! I...

Hey All, I have managed to secure a place on the World Scout Jamboree in 2015, and it is being held in Japan. We have had briefing reg the weather and v.hot environment (40c+) when we will be over there. Obviously not great for insulin etc. I already have a selection of Frio products but...

During Uni, when I was going through a bad patch, I found the following video. If you ever struggle then watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqpQzT1Kbuk (Use IE as getting report some other browsers not liking it) D :-)

Something simple if you're feeling down (for those who don't know the song, and shocking if you don't, there is one naughty word in it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUhlRoBL8M

This may sound a bit cryptic but it works.... While at work I noticed a pattern in my blood sugars. At one of the branches of my Vet Practice things can get a tad 'sleepy' and I end up sitting around a fair bit. As you would expect my BG was on the higher side that day. However, take the same...

During my revision as a Vet Student I found this clip that explains both types of diabetes in a great way. It's not clogged with huge amounts of info but a good grasp of the basics. The same processes happen in other animals (hence revision use). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi6LYIhlFdw
