Fed up

Sorry Guys and Girls just feel i need to get a few things out...

Basically, since my last blog, things have been pretty rubbish! I gave up on my dream job, being a Paramedic, my diabetes just caused far too many problems with it all. In the long run, it probably was the right decision. I've been trying to get a clearing place at University in Child Nursing, which would mean i'd get to start the course at the end of this month, but i've got no where with it! So i'm having to go through the whole… Continue

Gutted, absolutely gutted!!!

Well today i received my A-level results, i got two D's and an E. I am so happy i pulled out of uni when i did otherwise i would have wasted £1000 as i wouldn't have got in. Its been a real struggle these last few months, as ive had to go through numerous checks to prove that my diabetes is in good enough control to be able to be a paramedic. I had done occupational health checks, i started them in Feb, but after 5 months i still hadn't got any further on finding out if i would pass them so, i p… Continue

Need help!

I really need some advice, especially fom fellow Brits! I've been on two injections a day for about 11yrs and 8months, but i am seriously considering to go on four a day, but i really need more information about it all, and how everyone deals with having food and everything. I also dont go to my diabetes team at the Hospital (due to a long running rubbish care from them) i go to my GP's instead.

I used to not do very many finger pricks, but due to me trying to get into a local ambulance service… Continue

Ok - now I can understand why you want a diabetic tat (what do you do where you can't wear jewellery). I worked in sheet metal (on aircraft) - and wore my medic alert bracelet. Now because I'm hip - I've been wearing these bracelets designed for kids from Rescue Me ID's (I have them send to my sis-in-law in the States - then she mails them to me in Canada). I'll post this comment back on the Inked page - just wasn't sure if you'd see it (I'm not that techy a gal ). Anna from Montreal - The Trials and Tribulations of a Diabetic

Hi Zo Zo,
There is actually a pretty nifty BG converter application that was developed by one of our members. If you go to my page, you can see it at the top (I just added it back in): just click on the "Add To My Page" (I think that's what the link is called) to add it to your own page.

Take care,

Hello Zo Zo,
I just joined Tu Diabetes and came across your video. I wanted to let you know I have had Type 1 for 45 years (since I was 7 years old), and I have NO complications. When I was diagnosed in 1963 there were no meters, or pumps. Back then managing blood sugars was like trying to hit a 90 mph ping pong ball with a baseball bat. Just wanted to let you know while it is not an easy road, it does not have to be a horrible road. I am healthy, fit, and happy at my ripe old age ;-), and have found attitude to be everything. I'm sure there will be a cure in your lifetime. Keep your focus on the prize (a cure) so that you stay motivated, even in hard times, to maintain your healthy body. If anyone judges you for anything related to diabetes invite them to walk in your shoes for 24 hours, watching everything you eat, testing your blood multiple times a day, shooting up multiple times daily, and saying no to temptation, and trying to be "perfect". Take good care of you.
