sickness

Hi, A year ago I caught a bug from my young son which resulted in pretty nasty vomiting and diarrhoea for about a day. For about 48 hours afterwards my T1 diabetes seemed to disappear. I was able to eat what I wanted without taking insulin with no affect on my blood sugar levels. I'd company...

Had an odd experience on public transport this morning. I caught the train around 7, feeling fine.

Hi there, I've had type 1 since I was 15 so 30 years now. All ok (as much as you can say that with type 1, lol). No complications as yet but I've started noticing that I don't react to colds and other viruses like I used to. Much higher sugars these days, enormous fatigue (I know prob due to...
