All About Insulin Adjustments
People who don’t have diabetes don’t have to think about that at all – their pancreas produces the right amount of insulin to keep their blood glucose at the right level all the time. The key to successful management of your diabetes is knowing how to adjust your insulin so that your blood glucose is always under control.

Annual Reviews
Hi I'm Luke. I've had diabetes since I six years, which wasn't a shock to anyone as both mum and dad have got it and so has my big sister. Apparantly mum and dad met at the clinic, they used to sit and compare test results. Dad's were all over the shop but mum's were always fantastic. Dad says that's because his diabetes was always more difficult to control...

Coping with Illnesses
This podcast is about managing diabetes when you’re ill. The trick is to have a plan in place so you know what needs to be done, including getting help when necessary. When you’re well, there’s a balance between the carbohydrate you eat, the insulin you take, and the energy you burn up. If you’re ill this balance changes; you’re likely to lose your appetite, so you might think you need less insulin, but with most illnesses you’ll probably need at least the same dose of insulin, if not more to keep your blood glucose in the target range.

Holidays
Having a trouble free holiday starts before you pack your bags. Your GP or a travel clinic will be able to advise you on the vaccinations you need, whether malaria prevention is required and any other specific health risks at your destination. Your GP or your diabetes nurse will also advise you about everything else you need to take with you – it’s best to make sure that you have more than enough supplies to take with you.

Introduction
Jez. I'm 20 and I found out I had diabetes about four years ago. Having diabetes can be cr*p as, incidentally, is a lot of the advice you get about how to manage it. I know quite a bit about that now - at some stage most things that can go wrong have gone wrong

Keeping it Secret
Harry. Don't know about you but I didn't used to like people knowing I'm diabetic. I don't want to feel different. But I've learnt that wherever you are - home, work, holiday, someone needs to know just in case you need some help...

Leaving Home
Leaving home may be exciting or daunting – or a mixture of the two. Either way, there are lots of things to think about: accommodation, finding your way around somewhere new, perhaps not knowing anyone, making new friends, who to tell that you’ve got diabetes.

Leaving Home
I couldn’t wait to leave home. But when it comes to it there’s lots of things to think about: where to live, finding your way around, new people, who to tell about your diabetes, looking after your self, finding a new GP – the list goes on and on.

Looking Good...Feeling Cr*p

Managing Hypos
Hypoglycaemia is a low blood glucose, which can result in lots of symptoms and can be very different in different people but tend to follow the same pattern for each person. Being prepared for hypos means treatment can be immediate – so always have either some glucose tablets or Lucozade and carbs with you and take them if you need them.

Match Fit
I play quit a bit of football. I used to play every week but gave up when I left school. Now I'm playing with the team at work. To begin with I couldn't seem to keep going for a full match but now I've got my sugar sorted, I'm the star player.

Pumps
Pumps are like little computers which can be programmed to deliver insulin. There are lots of different types of pump but they all work on the same principle – a continuous infusion of rapid acting insulin delivered through a fine plastic tube placed just under the skin, which mimics more closely the way your pancreas worked before you got diabetes except for one big difference.

What is Diabetes?
People with diabetes have high levels of glucose in their blood, either because their body doesn't produce enough insulin, or because their body cannot respond properly to the insulin they do produce. There are two types of diabetes: Type 1, or insulin dependent diabetes, sometimes shortened to IDDM, and type2 diabetes, sometimes referred to as maturity onset diabetes.
(11m 10s 5.12Mb.)

Why do blood tests?
Blood tests are the only way to know how well controlled your diabetes is. Blood glucose levels change depending on the amount of carbohydrate you eat, the amount of exercise undertaken and the amount of insulin injected, and are also affected by illness, stress, growth and puberty. Blood tests are information readouts about your body - the more information you collect, the better you will be in achieving good control of your diabetes.
