Hi Clive, when I was first diagnosed with T1 my blood sugar levels dropped to within normal range and like yourself my vision became blurred. I was told back then in 1988 that it would sort itself out as the pressure in my eyes stabilised . True to their word it was true I had perfect vision...

Hi JuicyJ I have read this entire thread with interest, I went through this almost identically25 years ago. What worked almost overnight for myself and what stands out to me is that you are not taking enough long acting or short acting by quite a lot. I take 50 units of Levemir nightly and my...

Modern "big sized" Mars bars are smaller than the standard one of my youth !

I have the same problem yesterday even on half dosage of Novorapid and little exertion I had 8 hypos. This morning I woke up low and had breakfast then when blood sugar was up to 6 I took a quarter of my usual dose, one hour later I was on 2. I have always struggled in the summer heat. The only...

I have had type 1 diabetes for over 25 years and I also have hypo` symptoms when my blood sugars are above 8. I also don`t have any hypo symptoms until my blood sugar is below 2. I have been like this ever since I was diagnosed, the best way to deal with this is very frequent tests,I take...

The liver is tested along with various other functions when your HbA1c test blood is taken. You have to ask your GP what the issues are with your lipids,and will fixing these "issues" stop your liver from raising your blood sugar level. It may well be that something as simple as a lower fat...
