t1d

Hello guys I'm Amirarsalan and new around here! I've been diagnosed with t1d since 2011 and ever since I've gone through a lot of stress without any reasons. However its getting worse these days and I'm asking you guys how you guys if you're also feeling the same way as one of T1D effects. I...

Good evening all, T1D here, 20+ years. I have, this week, started taking sukkarto am and pm to go with my usual routine of Levemir and Novorapid. No issues with blood levels etc but wow, I feel wiped out! I am struggling to walk a flight of stairs at work and have had to literally lie down...

Hello, What are people's experiences of camps for young people with diabetes? Have you been in one, organised one, etc? I'm a T1 diabetic looking into organising/running a summer camp for children and young people with diabetes in the future. In the past, I've done a similar thing with other...

Anyone got any good snacks that require no injections (between meals). To give you a hint I love pork pies, so suggestions of sliced green Peppers are not going to cut it! Haha.

So this morning I woke up at Blood sugar of 7. Using the libre i was similar. Stead blood through the night. I commuted into work on my bike, but the amazing thing was that without eating and the process of getting ready to get on the bike, my blood 15 min later went to 11! It was almost like...

Hi all, I am reviewing options for a pump for better control. My hospital typically offers two versions but with a tube. However they can be persuaded to review options for tubless options. Omnipod is the one i am leaning towards, having two small children and an active lifestyle including...

Dear Diabetes, It’s been 13 years since we got together, so I thought I would mark our ‘anniversary’ with a chat. A reflection. To start off, you are inescapable and at times, let’s be honest, a first class **** hole. You have seen me at my most vulnerable and at my strongest. You have knocked...

Started on the libre yesterday and I already love it! I've seen that some people have wildly inaccurate results but mine seem to come up within 1mmol so v. happy. Disappointed that the costs seem very much like a postcode lottery as ive seen now that some locations, the sensors are on...

seen so so many threads of teens wanting to meet other teens so here's one that everyone can add to! and hi, im emma, im 15 and i was diagnosed in september. how is everyone?

so, I've been diagnosed T1D for 3 1/2 years now and I still struggle every day. My close friends and family do try to help, but that only goes so far because they only try to understand. So if anyone and I mean anybody just wants to chat and give some reassurance or something shoot me a message...

Hey So I was only diagnosed with type one in September and before this diagnosis i didnt always eat breakfast, either because I would wake up too late or just because I'm not hungry in the mornings. This became my routine. But since I was put on fixed doses i felt like I absolutely had to eat...

When diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, there are many things that go through your mind at once. What were your first thoughts when you were sat down with your doctor and had the news?:wideyed:

Hi I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after having DKA and spending time in the hospital. Anwayss... im still on fixed doses (until my carb counting course) and they are currently 8 units at breakfast, 8 for lunch and 11 at dinner time. I am on novorapid in the daytime. I am on 30 units of...

I work with a lovely chap called Colin who has a great deal of experience with diabetes, with a T1D daughter and several T1D friends who are using the pump. I've told him about the Libre (having only applied my second sensor last night) and he agrees that its a fantastic way to help diabetics...

Hi, I have been thinking quite a bit about going for a ketosis diet with very low carbs (about 30g/day), however some questions are still in my mind. The last time I went for 50-70g of carbs/day, my body ended up in physiological insulin resistance (IR) which in turn put me to very high BS...

Hi, It seems every time I eat a bit of cheddar my BS goes unexpectedly high. I do count for proteins in my bolus, which works great for everything, but it seems even if I do that for cheddar, this does not suffice. I don't eat a lot of cheese in UK, but the other one I usually eat in LARGE...

Hi, I should have started here (I already posted a couple of times). Since I don't know how to start to introduce myself I will do some Q&A with the suggested points from the sticky post. If you don't care, feel free to skip to the next section. - Include a photo here if you wish to. Done -...

Hi, Eight months ago, my son was diagnosed with T1D. A month or so before diagnosis he weighed 35 kgs (77 lbs). When diagnosed he weighed 30 kg (66 lbs). Some two-three months after diagnosis he regained 2-3 kg. He has grown taller since then, probably some 4-5 cm (2 in.), but he has not gained...
