It sounds like to my you are injecting too much insulin. You need to test more and inject less. I would ask to see my diabetic specialist as soon as possible as this must stop. You need to know how much insulin you need to take compared to the ammount of carbs you are eating as it sounds to me...

We have a Swan slow cooker. We prepare the meat, veg and gravy the night before then when I come down to make a cup of tea, switch it on. We let it cook for eleven hours on low and we get superb results. We always buy the cheapest cuts of meat and they come out tender.

Oh dear Buzz our youngest, also 11 years old, became diabetic T1 but as he had seen me inject it didnt bother him we were lucky. Perhaps if you and your son talk with your DSN she may explain the importance of his regime and doing his injections as the nurse will have had to deal with this...

In the U.K. if you don't test before driving and every two hours whilst you are driving and you are involved in an accident expect to loose your lisense at the very least.

When I became type 1 it took six to eight weeks for my eyes to adjust back to normal. I could not drive (please dont drive if you are experiencing these symptoms, you will be breaking the law) you just have to wait for your vision to improve. Remember if you are in the UK the hospital will have...

Rallen, I dont think you are diabetic. When I became diabetic I was going to the toilet three or four times every night, drinking at least 5 litres of fluid every day, tired and with no energy. I went to my doctors who took a urine sample then sent me to the A and E straight away. My breath...
