Hi, I'm not usually one to post anything ! But I have been diabetic for 2 years I have a really good HBA1C it is 47, and my weight is good I am 5ft3 and only 8 stone, when I first got diagnosed I was pregnant thought it was gestational but turned out to be type 1, I lost a lot of weight and became under 7 stone over the 2 years I've put on a stone thank god, anyway my problem is, I've developed diabetic peripheral neuropathy and background retinopathy also problems with my kidneys going under investigation at the moment, im so confused why all this is happening when I'm constantly having hypos, my bloods do peak to about 12-14 in an hour but drop like a horse fly to about 4.5 after another hour, they are constantly up and down but mostly low I have really good readings every morning, I have to eat with my night insulin which ur not supposed to do but I tend to hypo even at low doses, can anyone help me understand why I've developed these problems is it cause I'm constantly eating sugar to bring off the hypos or the odd highs after every meal? I need advice anyone!
