Well done you!

The HbA1c test result refers to the overall picture of what our average blood sugar levels have been over the last three months. Your result is very good!

The few readings you have quoted are in the typical range for a non diabetic person.

I don't eat breakfast either. As long as my blood sugar is within range I don't need to eat so do not need to inject fast acting glucose. I manage on the long acting glucose that is working in the background all day and night. I can go all the way to lunchtime or brunchtime before needing to...

I am shocked that this can happen. I am horrified to think that this could happen to any of my T1 friends or family or even myself.

We are here to offer advice. But first off your sister should listen to her newly found health team. We T1s, remember those crazy early days and the struggle and confusion to get things right. Your sister is very lucky to have a caring brother like you. Keep posting to let us know how your...

@Juicyj I have had other great reviews in the same Trust with a Consultant who crossed over with diagnostic recommendations in other health departments. This review was certainly very thorough. The Registrar even took the time to read through my other health issues so that she knew what she...

I attended a Hospital Diabetic Clinic today and during a very thorough assessment of my wellbeing I admitted to several unexpected hypo blood sugar readings during the hot weather. The registrar agreed that I am controlling diabetes very well but because of the recorded lows thought that I...

Hello Jayden, Believe me Jayden you will soon get the hang of this carb stuff. There is a forum on this website where you can talk to other young people who have to count carbs and inject insulin. This is the URL: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/children-teens.46/

The 63 grams of sweets plus the 60 grams of carbs in the meal is a huge amount for an adult let alone a tiny nearly 3 year old toddler. You should be reassured that your daughter's body had dealt with the massive overdose of carbs so efficiently to get back to safe levels. You know yourself as...

After the suggestions above, if it still does not work, get in touch with Accu-Chek and they should send a replacement.

In that case just let him enjoy himself. Don't worry that blood sugar levels may run high for a while. We can have a day off occasionally! Deal with it when he comes home. I had a treat today. In the M&S Café I enjoyed a large Jacket Potato filled with a heap of Coronation Chicken and...

@Jayden2407 How about a trial run at Pizza Hut before the special day? It would give you some idea of the size of portions and the effect of the calculated bolus after two hours.

I use an Accu-chek lancet device that remains held in to the elastic in the case. To actuate the device I hold it at each end between my thumb and a finger of the same hand. The device has two actions. One press to trigger the lancet and a second press to release the lancet into the finger...

@Rachox I realise that OP is in USA but was thinking that he did in fact have a meter with such fine readings. If only we in UK could measure to two decimal points or even with the USA system.

@JonMarq3 Despite your carbfest experiments your body seems to be handling the punishment you are presenting it with. As others have suggested above cut the carbs. Give your body a chance instead of trying to induce results above normal range. Diabetes is confirmed by having blood sugar...

Clearing up the explosion in the pan is something I would rather not repeat. Once is enough!

Diabetes is diagnosed from multiple consecutive high readings over a period of days and not a random 11.1 reading amongst low level readings.
