[QUOTE="Kathleen Mc, post: 89185, member: 21300"] Hi! My name is Kathleen. I'm 35 y.o. and I was diagnosed as a T1 diabetic on June 13th when I was taken into A&E with DKA. This was mostly due to me deciding that I wasn't ill and didn't need to go to the doctors for about 3 weeks. I was in hospital for 10 days as they tried to stabilize my BGLs but they never fell below 14. I'm still trying to get my BGLs under control, and just when it looks like I'm managing it, they go up again! I'm on the Novomix insulin and take 2 injections a day - 30 units before breakfast and 22 before my evening meal. I need to lose weight (5'3" and 82kg) but I've never been a person of exercise - hence the weight - so I'm struggling to motivate myself into doing something. I've tried to get my hubby to go for a walk with me but it seems that's too much like hard work for him too!!! I lost 10kg due to the DKA before I went into hospital - who knows if I lost more whilst in there but put 2kg back on since I've started eating again (didn't eat for 2 days before going in and first 3 days in although on various drips). Anyway - enough from me! Kathleen [/QUOTE]
