I'd be inclined to have the same doubt/suspicion - I read that this can have a negative impact on urinary tract also, leading to urinary infections amongst other things. Thanks for your reply TIMOFNC3, if you could let me know the outcome after the trial is complete- I'd be very interested to...

Hey everyone, My DSN has offered me the opportunity to potentially take part in a trial to examine the effectiveness of type 1s using an SGLT2 Inhibitor medication in conjunction with insulin therapy. Apparently this medication is a relatively new generation of medication used to treat T2...

Hey Ellen, This is almost exactly the same position I have been in recently. I was extremely alarmed when I got back results telling me that I had background retinopathy (I was 23). Doing some research and asking Doctor/DSNs questions afterwards - I found out that initially background...

I thought I'd feel better, but I still feel like I need more sleep the whole time- there is no winning sometimes.. It was worst when I was at university and when I was working as a contractor/freelancer (could choose my own working hours). I know how you feel it's a really easy pattern to get...

and :)

I've never been able to master keeping tight control whilst and have tried so many different combinations, it feels like you almost have to 'cheat' or 'hack' the diabetes. I find if I'm planning on drink a significant amount I start with a decent meal and try to make sure I'm at a good starting...

What are your levels like in general? Can only speak as a T1- but I've always been terrible with holding it in, elevated blood sugar levels make me pee frequently but perhaps not as much as the above. I found that this made me develop a habit of going to much and resist holding it in, which my...

My sleeping pattern used to be just like! :) I found diabetes aside I felt much more tired/groggy for first part of the day- for me personally I found some kind of strange reverse appetite effect (I felt more hungry towards late evening and didn't have interest in food at the beginning of the...

Just wanted to update everyone on how this went. :) I found switching to Apidra very beneficial- as forum members mentioned above, there more than likely wasn't much in speed of action on an individual basis- but I strongly believe that just switching analogue was effective. Fewer spikes...

Thought I'd like to share this with everyone, if there was ever a funny instance of crime this is one of them. :hilarious: ______________________ A man allegedly hid in a restaurant until it closed recently so he could steal from it. But rather than empty the cash register, this person chose...

Looks like a nice piece of kit, someones gonna be a happy chappy! :) Keep an eye on this one if you wanna store something in the prezzy idea bank - Not sure when Playstation VR comes out (early next year I think), takes immersive gaming to the next level. Best Dad ever award guaranteed. :cool:

Please would you be able to give us a link to product Noblehead?

Just to add, I find that sucralose as an artificial sweetener especially clogs up the coils at any moderate percentage! Also for anyone reading this just in case it's taken the wrong way- I'd advise against starting vaping unless you're using it as an aid to quit smoking altogether or to...

Hey everyone, Sorry for bumping an old thread, but found this really interesting. I'm an ex-smoker and vaping enthusiast myself. :) I make my own e-liquid and got quite a bit of experience producing it. I've personally found sucralose solutions suspended in PG for the intent of vaping have...

Hi everyone, I just got my appointment summary with blood test results back from the department of diabetes and endocrinology for an appointment I had on Nov 5th. I only just noticed that on my list of complications the Renal assessment reads: "Protein secretion: Intermittent MAU; Renal...

I found out that it was painful, but unlike some people avoided pulling any heroic Rambo stunts and being lit up. :D The instructor said he'd give me body armour (padded vest) but then, I assume forgot. All was fine however, first time I was shot it was a direct hit to face, went straight...

Never played a sport where I've been specifically at risk of taking a hit to the jewels so never owned a box. :D I've been told by separate people to now protect my face, my pump .. And now my manhood. Sounds like overall it's just best to not get shot altogether- I'm rather excited.

Thanks for all of your replies, I found the instructions (place was a mess and couldn't find it at the time and it said just as had been stated- 0.3 u in my case. :) Going on a stag do this weekend (paint balling followed by pub crawl) so going to have to consider where to put the pump during...

Thanks for reply Abbie. :) What are advantages of T-sets, they're the metal cannula ones right? I've been doing an advised 0.250 (left default after first use) so the 0.3 sounds about right. :) Thanks for reminding me about the clip- I initially removed it due to my preference so far of...
