Hi everyone, so today I was told I have a rare complication of bringing blood sugars quickly under control. So rare that even google struggles to inform me about the condition lol. Anyway, I wondered if anyone else has experienced the above? My GP says it should clear up once the nerves in my...

Yeah I think it's definitely worth a GP visit. Thanks

I'll take a look at that. Thanks for the info

Hi all, I've found this site and members amazing for support recently and today wanted to ask another question :) Since being diagnosed I've been suffering with really bad balance issues. This morning walking around the supermarket I felt like I was going to fall over all the time. I have no...

I think I will have to give them a call now. My figures have gone up to 22.3 now. Annoying. I will ask my doctor about the ketones testing strips. Thanks for that. :)

Exactly, the specialist just flooded me with information and then ushered me out the door. It's only recently, having learned more, that I noticed how terrible he was. Thanks again

Hey, I normally test 2/3 times daily. It was just I noticed I was going to the toilet a lot that I checked again this evening. Approx two hours ago. They have been above hovering around 20 for around two to three hours now

I saw an endocrinologist last month. He was awful. Simply said that my GP would manage my condition and that he was only there for specific questions. Nightmare to be honest

Hi, thanks for your reply, I don't have a means to test for ketones, and right now that is very much a concern. Without going to hospital or the GP tomorrow morning I have no idea. I've had no advice at all only that I should take my tablets as told and my insulin, and wait to see a nurse next...

Hi there, no sadly I don't have a DSN at the moment. Services in my area are in a bad state. I'm having to wait a long time to even see a nurse. At the moment my GP manages my tablets and insulin etc. He isn't very helpful. He just keeps saying that my insulin is a 'baby dose' whatever that...

That's great thanks

Hi, thanks for your reply, no my doctor hasn't suggested that. Although he has slowly increased from 6 units to 8 units. I don't think it's enough to be honest with you. I normally walk my dog after meals and this helps. However, this evening my figures are just going up and up. Weird. :(

Hi, I've just checked my blood sugars as have been urinating a lot. They are 20.1. I'm new to all this and wondered what to do? I'm currently on metformin 500mg twice daily, gliclazide 80mg twice daily, and novomix 30 16 units a day. Even my doc said that my insulin is a 'baby dose' Any...

Hi, thanks for the advice. I have noticed if I eat things like bread then I have a massive spike in my numbers.

Hi everyone, about 4 weeks ago I was diagnosed with type two. My hba1c was 64. They initially started my on metformin 500mg twice daily, however my sugars were so high that the GP has now started me on Gliclizide and just this past week novomix 30 twice daily (6 units in the morning and same...
