Hey I agree with the original post too. I have diabetes caused by pancreatitis from alcohol abuse. Sober 3 years now but hard 10 years on my body. My monitor always reads above 15 and that's the lowest I get during the day. Always goes up if I use energy even if I've not eaten. But my hbac1 is...

I will never trust the hba1c again. The last 4 I've just had are all the same... Excatly the same. So i check my bloods 394 times in last 90 days and average is 10.4 but yet doctors is 6.5!! Luckily i noticed so now running every test under the sun. Oh and they all missed the fact I'm anemic...

Been to the diabetes specialist and a long with several other problems they have diagnosed me with autonomic neuropathy. This was earlier last week and then yesterday i bent over and collapsed. Suddenly my head felt funny and legs went. Ambulance came and run a few test which showed all the...

Yeah i just want time to rest properly but never really happens.

Hi yeah i believe it was because i needed to split my lantus as i take 50 units.

Whatever can they throw at me next!![emoji22] Really am sick to death of doctors appointments now. Every time I go i end up with something else. Good job I'm not a horse or they would of put me down by now. Fibromyalgia. Active gastritis. Hip impingements. Mellitus diabetes type 1.5...

I'm in the middle of this process. I receive standard rate on mobility and living allowance. My condition worsened (fibromyalgia) and as a consequence I'm in a wheelchair and that is a lucky day. I suffer bilateral hip impingements, jaw problem from grinding teeth in pain. Severe depression and...

Hi everyone, I use 300 a month and get given 400 on repeat script. It is hard work ordering things at first but once the GP see that my bloods are under very good control they don't mind. I have to take 32 tablets a day as well so you can imagine how hard it is for me to remember when to order...

Yeah it seems as though my lantus doesn't last anywhere near long enough through the day. So hopefully if I take half tonight and half in the morning I may get a better result. Because as soon as my novorapid wears off I'm getting highs again

Thanks everybody. Yeah think I'll take 14 tonight and 14 tomorrow morning.

Hope it does help for you. I'm on 38 units of lantus

Yeah my bloods always rise as soon as novorapid wears off. After reading things on here I feel maybe splitting it would help me massively.

Can you take lantus in the morning instead of before bed?

Alpha lipoic acid is that off the shelf?

I've been told by ocdem the specialist I'm under that as I've had type1 all my life but it's been hidden by my heavy drinking (t total 2years April) that the damage is to severe. And my bloods are not great either through the day. I do take duloxutine 60mg twice daily.

Anybody else suffer with pain in the feet? It's a real horrible feeling like the foot is ice cold and when I touch it some times it's warm. I've been told it's nerve damage caused by my diabetes being untreated for so many years [emoji22]

Sorry about late reply people. I'm not even sure I know why it happened but scared the hell out of me. I suffer with fibromyalgia so struggle with sleep anyway. Have been suffering with my feet feeling cold 24/7 and pains in the left one mostly so struggle a lot.

What a horrible thing having a low in your sleep!![emoji45] Felt so hot and sweaty at the bottom half of my legs and woke feeling like I didn't know where I was. First time in nearly 2 years of being diagnosed T1D.

I sound very much the same as you so think I'll be trying that. Thanks for your advice

Yeah exactly that, I'm steady till 2.5hours and then bang I test again and I'm at 12+ it's crazy. Yeah if I took more I'd drop to low as i tried this a few times. Never thought about the pump to be honest. What it is is that I was a heavy drinker for 10 plus years then decided to stop a couple...
