    'Fast' treatment of Hyperglycaemia

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. Probably a bit late for that now sadly. Will keep an eye on things to see how they go.

    'Fast' treatment of Hyperglycaemia

    Evening all, I suffer with hyperglycaemia when I have to take steroids (prednisolone) normally 40mg a day used to combat issues with my asthma. I'd asked my GP how high is high, when I should ask for help and was advised anything over 20mmoL/l and that I should consult NHS 111. Well I hit 20.8...

    Work Place Risk Assessment

    Does anyone have experience with completing work place Health and Safety Risk Assessments? I've been asked to complete one. I currently take insulin and will need to inject at work. Will be doing this at my desk and it's around injections that I particularly could do with some assistance. It's...

    It was going ever so well today...

    Had the snickers after 17.00, hence the rise. Exercise in the morning, first reading was when I got up as had to drive to the station and then second reading was just before breakfast. So, there was plenty of walking between.

    Yep, doing really good today, then caved in and had a snickers. Now feel like a lump of [emoji90] [emoji2359] Would I be right in assuming that exercise can increase glucose levels? Asking as that's the only thing done between the first and second readings for today.

    That's a new one on me.

    Thank you. It was a horrendous experience and one I hope not to repeat. Always have a glucose thingy as my GP practice like to us to use it due to being on glamiperide. I generally test 3 times a day pre-meal. To be honest, not so convinced tablets were doing much, currently on 2g metformin...

    That's a new one on me.

    I haven't been on here much of late and dont post much to be honest but, thought I'd share my recent experience. I came out in a cold a week or so ago, kids had it, wife had it and then my turn. Nothing new here except being unwell is an asthma trigger for me. Felt it was turning into a chest...

    Coke Zero - Feeling Rough

    Had that NHS diet course, well about 2 hours in a group session which to be honest is not enough and, not really good enough. That was about 4 years ago.

    Coke Zero - Feeling Rough

    Both. Emotionally, couldn't care if the world ended tomorrow, I can be awful to live with. Physically, fell like I've got the worst ever hangover and that my eyes are being pushed put and in at the same time.

    Coke Zero - Feeling Rough

    You could well be right although I'd add that's quite usual for me, the coke zero isn't. So maybe that's just tipped it over on top of the other?

    Coke Zero - Feeling Rough

    Don't think so. Will have a look. Just getting so fed up with food, thinking I'm eating ok-ish and then feel like utter pants and just wanting to curl up in a ball

    Coke Zero - Feeling Rough

    This is what I'm thinking and sounds plausible [emoji1303]
