Redshaw replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'Redshaw replied to pancreaswanted's discussion 'type 1 diabetes and h0t weather/beach'"I find the opposite happens to me. Really high temperatures, make me feel ill, lethargic, and lessens my appetite. I find that my basal insulin in particular is pretty much ineffective. I thought it was because the insulin had gone off, but Even a…"
La replied to Redshaw's discussion 'Type 1s - Are you the only one in the clinic waiting room?' in the group United Kingdom Diabetics"I am guessing that it might depend on where you live. As I live in London, I go to a clinic with only under 18 diabetics. In more populated parts of the country, you will find it easier yet there are certain techniques used. Pumps are more readily…"
Redshaw replied to Stuart's discussion 'Yes or No: cured in your lifetime?'"I understand why you are needing less insulin, you are taking in less carb. However, type 1 means you produce NO insulin, and even eating NO carb will require some insulin otherwise you will go into DKA (as killed all type 1s before the discovery of…"
Redshaw replied to dino's discussion 'Are you the chosen one? ... Type 1, that is.'"Why's that suspicious?"
Redshaw replied to Stuart's discussion 'Yes or No: cured in your lifetime?'"I forgot to mention surgical cures. They are developed by surgeons not pharmaceutical companies.
I've had melanoma cut out, and hopefully I am cured, because there isn't a drug cure for it. Just some life long nasty trial drugs that might…"
Redshaw replied to Stuart's discussion 'Yes or No: cured in your lifetime?'"Think of a cure that has ever been discovered for disease, other than antibiotics. I can't, they are all treatments. Good treatments often, but all long term, even lifelong, treatments.
Penicillin was developed in a more innocent time in…"

Redshaw replied to dino's discussion 'What causes Type 1 Diabetes?...state your theory.'"Really? That makes me feel better. 27+ years and still going strong."
Redshaw replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"Also whilst you overeat for a hypo (I always do), it is very difficult to "skip" meals etc when not on a pump - I am on MDI and find I do not feel well if I forego food and a dose of insulin. So whereas nondiabetics can listen to their…"
Redshaw replied to Stuart's discussion 'Yes or No: cured in your lifetime?'"I don't believe that anyone who could cure something would be able to. They are ALL financed by companies and organisations with vested interests to TREAT diseases for as long as possible.
Aside from antibiotics which cure bacterial diseases,…"
Redshaw replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"Maybe we should look like zombies. The walking dead."
