Agree with the previous comment totally!

7.3 at bedtime, 6.2 this morning.

I was also told I wasn't eligible, but then a meter arrived. Only thing is it's not as good as my accu chek expert so I don't use it anyway!

never received mine

As I said I have only been diabetic for around 18 months, my hba1c has dropped each time it is tested. (3 monthly) it was 13 when I was admitted to hospital with dka when I became diabetic. I am pleased with my result as is my consultant and dn.

thanks for your comments. My latest hba1c yesterday was 6 , I did struggle at first, but have only been diabetic for 18 months. I have good control and am able to eat what I like. My bs is around 5 to 8 3 or 4 hours after a meal. I was merely stating that I stand at my desk and so move around...

I can eat anything I like, my bs doesn't go skyhigh, the most it ever gets to is around 15 after a carb heavy meal (around 80 grams) I don't eat a massive amount of carbs each day though , I also exercise every day and stand at my desk when I'm at work.

I have the same problem, hot feet at night. I am T1. I just cool them by putting them out of the duvet for a few minutes or taking my socks off in the daytime (not at work though!). This works for me. My dr , consultant and dn are not concerned.

You have to take control or you will seriously damage your health. Learn to carb count, its really easy, and will help you to understand and manage your condition. I had a colleague who didn't look after her type 2 diabetes eating anything she wanted to and now she has lost her sight, this is...

Maybe you're body is adjusting from running a bit higher to quite low and as you are not eating many carbs, perhaps more food would help.

haven't received mine either

I've only been diabetic for18 months, having been diagnosed at 47! My hba1c has been steadily dropping as its tested every 3 month by the hospital. The last time it was 8, my daily bg is averaging at around 7 at the moment, and my cholesterol is just under 5. I don't eat particularly low carb...

Ok good advice. I prefer olive oil ( heart protection) but I don't suppose that matters. What type of cheese?

I will. Do you follow it?

I was reading about the LCHF diet and noted it's type 2 's who follow it. Is it a suitable diet for type 1's; does anyone follow it? Thoughts please.

I had joint pain and aching legs when I was first diagnosed with diabetes ( type 1) 18 months ago. My muscles were so weak that I couldn't stand up if I had been crouching without help. It went away and now I'm fine. I have no idea what it was but I am fine now. It took about 6 months to go...

That's bad luck!

Or even metformin!

If you are type 1 why are you on meteor in?

I had a problem similar to this after coming back to the uk from being on holiday. My bg was monitored continually for a week and it turned out I wasn't having quite enough lantus. I would go to bed around 6 or 7 mmol's and wake at 15. I split my lantus so on my consultants advice just upped my...
