Cuglia, that was a rather high horsed response. I searched solostar disposal and no search results came back. This forum isn't the easiest when trying to find out information readily hence why I posted. Furthermore I was hoping to get an opinion of someone who uses Solostar pens as they will...

Hi all, I'm not sure how I'm meant to be disposing my solostar pens? Just wondering how people dispose of theirs. I have a yellow box which I put needles in but if I put pens in it it just fills up quite quickly. I'm tempted to put them in the bin as there is little or no medication in them and...

Hiya, I'm in the same boat. I'm 25 also, it's definately frustrating but I know for a fact that it's got to do with bg levels. I feel tired when my sugars aren't steady so when I'm swinging so when my sugars are high and low in the space of a day. Or just high or low. Just reign in the sugars a...

Hi all I have old figer prick equipment. lanceletts. Pen needles that are the wrong size but are all completely sterile and new. What do you do with this equipment? I don't use it but can't bring myself to just throw this stuff away. Especially microfine needles and lancelettes. What do you all do?

Also my foot went numb twice when I was at the gym on the cross trainer.

Hi all, The last 3 months I've felt this numbness in my theigh very short intervals. Once a night for 2 seconds. Last month I noticed my foot on the same leg went completely numb. Last night my theigh felt like it was on fire the area of feeling had increased and the length of the incident had...

Hi all im having problems using the meter. I keep getting this error message e1. I've lost the instructors so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help anyone?

Hi all, I am an overweight (fat) type 1 (yes I know unusual) lol I saw a consultant on Friday who prescribed me some metformin. I'm very cautious about additional medications and just wondered if any other type 1s who have used metformin have any feedback from their experiences before I begin...

Thanks Sue xx

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of Dr Bernstein's contact details? I've googled and couldn't even find his own website. ????? Thanks for your help

Re: Blood sugars ansd having a row I'm thinking its got to be the row because that's a regular breakfast for me and my rising sugars r normally between 5-7.

I'm just wondering if people have noticed a correlation between having a row or a strong argument with someone and then a rise in blood sugar. I woke up at 7.9 had a bowl of Branflakes with milk took 4 units of my fast acting to cover my brekkie then had an argument and an hour and half later...

Hiya Lfcrab I'm 24 now and was diagnosed when I was 5 so I completely understand your predicament right now. My memory isn't that great to be honest so I'll try and do my best to give you some half way decent advice. :) When I was 12 I was put on basal bolus to basically cope with puberty...

Oh thank goodness! I'm not the only one it's happened a few times to me and I thought I was being neurotic or paranoid especially whilst showering. I've experienced hypos In the bath and whilst taking showers, it's so odd isn't it! x

I would say have your medication when you eat your breakfast and defo juice up. x

I'm feeling good! The coke has helped. And I started watching this political documentary which detracted from feeling hungry. Don't feel hungry now- shouldn't really complain as it's only a day and there r people who have no choice. So feel a bit silly for moaning now. :? I'm a lil confused...

Hi all I'm on a 24 hour fast to see if my basal is working. I'm on hour 16 and I'm hungry! I'm sipping diet coke it's distracting me from the lovely dinner everyone's having downstairs but helllllp Lol. :lol:

Really interesting reading your responses. I've been on Insulatard for 12 years and I'm just exploring my options as I'm trying to distinguish whether it actually works well for me. My sugars were forever running high in the mornings but now I've done a carb counting course it seems to be...

That was a lovely post thank you. I think I may go to weight watchers and just make sure i keep the carbs down alongside their plan as to be honest I think the structure and support will help me. I will just make sure I keep on top of carb counting and insulin. Will keep you posted xx

So I'm type 1 I'm trying to lose weight and I'm cutting down carbs, how often would you recommend eating for this. My boyfriend encourages eating every three hours to help with weight loss I've read in a book somewhere every four hours for type 1 because of insulin. Ne idea ne 1? Thanks Pink xx
