My first #GBDOC #PWDC15 | Mrs Nichola D
https://typeonemrsnicholad.wordpress.com/2015/03/15/my-first-gbdoc-pwdc15
Living with Type 1 Diabetes. My first #GBDOC #PWDC15. March 15, 2015. Where we were staying didn’t have its own restaurant. We stayed in a Travelodge just off the M1. So breakfast was a bacon roll from Greggs, or if I’m talking about our son it was a roll with sausages. As we pulled into the area we were going to park in I saw a familiar face from Twitter. It was Jules or better know as @Jules1315. As we made our way towards the building more people crossed the road (I recognised a few faces from Twitter...

Living with Type 1 Diabetes. Monthly Archives: March 2015. So my husband has blue hair! March 31, 2015. Continuing on from yesterday’s blog…. This is my husband Allun before his fund raising hair dying began. Let the bleaching commence. Our very camera shy friend Sian arrived and at 1.15pm the bleaching of Allun’s hair began. Now to wait…. Time for a cuppa and a hot cross bun. Every now and again Sian checked to make sure everything was going to plan. It’s done its job! Now for the blue, eek! Posted by N...

My first day with a CGM :D | Mrs Nichola D
https://typeonemrsnicholad.wordpress.com/2015/04/02/my-first-day-with-a-cgm-d
Living with Type 1 Diabetes. My first day with a CGM :D. April 2, 2015. I was actually putting off getting out of bed this morning but also wanted to get started too. The only thing holding me back was my stupid nerves. I wasn’t nervous about actually inserting the sensor, I was nervous about doing something wrong (stupid I know, especially in hindsight). My first thought was “oh no its not working”. 8220;Problem” solved and ready to go :D! Ready to go…. And yes I did count😀 ). A small bleed (reassured ...

Living with Type 1 Diabetes. Monthly Archives: May 2015. 8220;I can” flatten a juice carton in a few seconds flat …. May 11, 2015. My bedtime BG was 16.6mmol, which isn’t unusual on a Sunday. I usually get it back in range before bed but it just hadn’t happened this time. I had a correction dose and decided to set the alarm for 3am to make sure the insulin had done its job and to double check that I wasn’t going too low. Two hours later…. Argh, how, what?

Fundraising for Diabetes | Mrs Nichola D
https://typeonemrsnicholad.wordpress.com/fundraising-for-diabetes
Living with Type 1 Diabetes. My husband has decided to have his hair dyed blue to raise funds for the Diabetes charity JDRF. He informed me yesterday (2nd March 2015) that he will also be keeping it like this for 4 weeks! I think its great that he’s doing something crazy (as he is unable to do something physical) to raise money for this. I’m just not too sure about the fact that I’m going to have to be seen in public with him. This is the Just Giving fund raising link – Allun’s Blue Hair. Mum of type 1.

Living with Type 1 Diabetes. Author Archives: Nichola Davies. Am I the only numpty to do this? November 3, 2016. So has anyone else been so knackered in the night that this has happened, or am I the only numpty? When I was ripped from my sleep as 3am, I “flashed” my Libre across my arm and had a 7.7 steady reading. I thought fine lets go back to sleep, but unknown to me I must have pressed snooze, TWICE! At my usual wake up time my Libre said 3.8 and my actual. I’m even more knackered now.😦. I was a par...
