OK, but adjust your basal, that's key.

I've had stress hormones raise my BG by more than 10 MMOL, albeit in a particular situation that put me out of my comfort zone to say the least.

Yeah understand, I'm intelligent enough to know what I feel isn't rational, and not in my best interest, I have an overriding man back to cave instinct.

TBH I've been scared to go back to my GP, hoping to do it this week. the fractures are all self healing, nothing to be reset. I can take the pain of recovery, just the not knowing is killing me, and i'm scared of another s**t health issue.

Thank you

and interest

Yes I do, but can't be sure as I had concussion and don't really know what happened for sure thanks for the input

I've been experiencing a few of these recently, I've been shrugging them off as anomalies, however s**t just got real. I fell down the stairs in the middle of the night and fractured my skull, eye socket, nose, hand, and foot, so all in all not good. I'm terrified it could happen again. Anyone...

Lower your basal is key, especially as you get to 2,3,4 hrs exercise, every year I go snowboarding, and I roughly half it, also reduce significantly for cycling more than an hour. Having a mix of fast acting, and slower release carbs works for me, there is no recipe as such as it's all down to...

I had my first HBA1C test in three years last week, it was 39.

Travel abroad about twenty times a year, never had any issue, never taken a letter.

Opiate based painkillers were the only gig in town that actually delivered.

With the two bouts of acute pancreatitis I had, morphine was the only friend. I liked it too much though, as I did with Tramadol Hydrochloride.

Semantics.

three slices of leftover garlic bread with cheese for lunch, I'm cooking Chilli Con Carne for dinner from base ingredients, no jars or packets :)

Er, dude, I am healthy, just happen to have T1, and enjoy the odd carbs blowout. I don't see it as slow suicide, my BG is under control, I take the right amount of insulin generally, and enjoy a lot of exercise and sports.

I think it's to make sure that manual workers in particular are given the proper considerations by their employer. Like you diabetes doesn't restrict what I do, but I mainly work from home, and don't do manual work, but if I was I think I'd need to have regular breaks for testing and treatment.

T1 in UK is classed as disabled, however it's never something I've needed to highlight as we have flexible working. I've just made sure the first aiders in my building know of my condition.

I managed the BG and insulin ok after the initial diagnosis, nerve damage recovery etc. My mental health has decorated massively in the last year though, suffering from depression, and anxiety.

I see it as a treat and enjoy a large Dominos, but have to take >20 units NovaRapid. Yummy though.
