hospital

Hi all, this is my first post on here and honestly not sure why or what I'm hoping to achieve with it, but I feel like I need to get it off my chest and share it. For the past few months I've been suffering with diabetes burnout and generally not looking after my diabetes as well as I used to...

Hi, I'm moving to Glasgow from London. I am looking to find a new clinic near-by to my new address but without compromising standard of care. Does anyone have experience with a good clinic in Glasgow or know of someone in Scotland who I can reach out to for more direction on Scottish diabetes care?

Hi people, I have one stupid question: if the blood sugar is more than 15 for like 3-4 Hrs should one go to the hospital or try to "correct" it at home? Sometimes correction takes time, it does not work immediately and/or sometimes the cannula has to be changed. When is the turning point when...

Hello, It took over four years for me to get my HBA1c low enough to try for a baby and then to get successfully pregnant and stay that way! My son is now 20 months old. Am really struggling to manage being a mum and lowering my HBA1c. Am also still breastfeeding at night which plays havoc with...

My husband went into hospital just before he was due to start Empagliflozin. Subsequently diagnosed with a virus that caused hepatitis. At home we had reintroduced a low carb diet but his sugars were still high. I'm guessing some of his high sugar readings would be from virus as well as...
