I started to feel like I was low but I normally feel around it around 5.0 and I was obviously shocked at how low I actually was

Should I be worried I didn’t feel anything to warn me my bg was this low?

I’m on movorspid and levemir, I have just got back of holiday and my monitor stopped working whilst I was there so I had no way of monitoring bloods, so when I got a new monitor when I got back I was at 27 with ketones over 2, it isn’t normal for my ketones to play up like this

I don’t understand

Quick question, I was told a a few months back that I would need some form of letter of my gp for when I go on holiday for my insulin and such. I phoned my gp up today and the receptionist had no clue, I was expecting a call back of a doctor which I didn’t receive. Anybody shed some light on this.

So the other day I went to the diabetic centre at the hospital to see my doctor, I explained about the problems I’m having with monitoring and controlling by BG, and how I think the freestyle libre might help me get back to where I want and need to be. He told me to come back in 3 weeks and if...

I am currently going through this right now, but I’m trying to get back on track one day at a time. It’s difficult, I have a family that no matter how many times a try to educate them a little so that maybe they can understand more, do not seem to listen. My girlfriend who is currently carrying...

Does anyone use vitamin supplements and if so which ones, I was told a while back to take some for the aches and growth like pains in my legs, not related to diabetes!

I phoned my doctors today I have an appointment to discuss it hopefully I can have it, I think it will help massively. If not I’ll speak to my DSN, thanks.

I seen an article on line yesterday stating that the FreeStyle Libre is available on the NHS, if so is it worth looking into getting it.

I know it’s bad avoiding insulin, it just slips my mind. And now I’m in the routine of it but I am trying to change it. Thanks for the messages.

The other day I went for a flew shot, I ended up having bloods taken as well. Around four in the morning the next day some doctor in a big bus is knocking my parents up cause I had a bg level of 27. Here’s my problem I’m the type of person who doesn’t like people fussing over me but it’s became...

Serious enough to make an appointment as soon as possible?

Does any one know what this is that’s popped up on my leg, it’s really irritating me now

Error 6 says 'partial fill, please retest with another strip'

I keep it in a bag, out the way of everything, so it's not been in direct sun light. Could it be my blood, my blood is just running down my finger, it's not very thick for lack of a better term?

So... I have just used 10 strips with error 6 coming up each time, it's not the first time but 10 strips down has really ****** me of. What's going on?

I don't, i was just given it by the nurse the other week and that was it, I'll have to check if I can add to it.

What needles and insulin do I order for it? I do my scripts online and I put down 'levemir cartridge for novapen 5' and they just give me pre filled levemir.

If the NHS becomes private and you have to start paying, what would people be looking at in costs for insulin (levemir, novarapid) and strips?
