    Covid jab

    I received my first dose of astrazeneca vaccine on Saturday. Saturday night I was exhausted and fell asleep alot earlier than usual for me. I woke in the night countless times with excruciating back ache, shooting pain down my right leg, a headache that felt like it would blow my head off, sore...

    Diabulimia Support

    Hey @mooshk ! I hope you are doing ok? Sorry I've not been in touch, I've had a rough time within myself. I am still taking my insulin at the right times which is the longest I have gone through my periods of 'strength' that I get to beat this demon so I am really proud of that but I am...

For some reason I stopped being notified so I didn't see the last few messages until now. Thankyou so much for the lovely comments, they made me feel...

    Well here is hoping ☺️☺️ I really love my boys and want to do my best for them. That's all I really want out of life that actually really does matter. I am glad that I have turned to the forum once again to speak out, the support is brilliant. For a long time I didn't use the forum because I...

    Diabulimia Support

    That's all I ever tell my boys too. If the best isn't good enough, so be it. I always say you haven't failed if you've not stopped trying too. I'm good at giving advice, just not listening to my own well I think you have done really well to go through that and come out the other side. It sounds...

    Diabulimia Support

    Not to worry, honestly I don't feel discouraged at all. If anything it has just made me think of other ways of helping others at the same time as helping myself. It's just something that I feel should already be in place in hospitals or communities. Worst case scenario is that nothing comes of...

    Diabulimia Support

    Hello ☺️☺️ I really am thankful for your response. It was very naive of me not to think deeply enough about those sort of issues. I just saw the positives that people could get from this kind of support rather than the risks that could potentially come with it. I am wondering if when COVID is...

    Diabulimia Support

    I have suffered with diabulimia for a number of years and with COVID being a further risk to my health, I have tried to find some strength to try and combat recovery with some support from a psychologist. I don't want to die, I just want to be thin which is why I started delaying my insulin...

    explaining what it's really like to live with Type 1

    Hey I'm a type one diabetic and was diagnosed 7 years ago at the age of 25. I found this difficult in itself as I had a 3 year old boy and life was good, I had overcome depression that I suffered in my late teens into my early 20s and finally felt that I had everything I wanted in life. When...

    Appointments during Covid-19

    I heard from the hospital in June who gave me an appointment for middle of July. Less than 2 weeks later I got a letter to say that diabetes appointments were being prioritised and because my blood glucose levels were in control then I would be seen in 6 months time. Problem for me is I haven't...

    Daily Star Article...

    It truly amazes me the comments that people come out with when it comes to diabetes. I struggle to talk to my family about it because in the past they have said 'so if you have a hypo we give you insulin' erm....I'd rather not be killed thank you ! Hahaha.

    Daily Star Article...

    I would just like to say that I haven't used this forum alot so wasn't sure how to even post a comment to begin with so for it to end up in the type 1 discussion thread is a miracle in itself also the article is extremely contradictive, firstly it tells the story of the lady having ketones and...

    Has anybody else read the daily Star Article about a diabetic lady called Pam who's dog saved her while she was asleep?? If not, please give it a read as I am so angry that the paper have written and published an article that is factually incorrect. I have actually just emailed the paper to...

    Not doing very well.

    It makes me really sad to read this as I have had experience of burnout and it's an awful place to be in. I have struggled before I had my baby in March last year as he was very poorly and I was too, we had a few days of desperation which was very distressing for me and I started to really...
