When a type 1 smugly tells me type 2 don't need to test! grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Likewise when a type 2 tells me I’m lucky. After all I can eat what I like and just inject insulin to cover it.
Strange that an innocuous looking fluid has the capacity to kill me within a very short time if I should happen to get it wrong.
But hey, the choccie biscuit was delicious.

When your fingers won't stop bleeding after a test and you cover work/gym programme/clothing/steering wheel in blood.

Wrap a elastic band around the finger just under the puncture, that will stop it leaking out. It's what I do when my blood flows well with my anti coagulents.

I keep falling asleep during programmes I am enjoying and having to watch the end the following day.

1) Not being able to remember if you just took your insulin or if you imagined it

2) Trying to pretend I have self control when the post-hypo munchies hit

3) My blood sugar doing what it wants to do ignoring all rules. Been doing excerise? How about spiking. Just taken insulin? How about no

People that are experts on everything

I was only diagnosed in July but I'm already realizing we all have that one person (or more) who fancies themselves an expert and insists on doling out unsolicited "advice" and opinions that are often wrong despite them not being diabetic.

If you don't read the full thread and post an answer to someone to find someone else has put exactly the same on another post...!
I only do that about 10 times a day!

Aw. I'd rather have more help though, not less, and it saves newbies like me who are still learning the time of having to search for answers in more threads.

I tend to forget my evening metformin, and as I sleep on the 6th floor and the kitchen (and tablets) are on the 4th, I have to get out of bed and climb 2 floors down, and of course 2 floors back up again. [/QUOTE]

You made me feel better because tonight I've been complaining because I have to go up a floor in the elevator to do laundry. Up, put clothes in washer, down. 30 minutes later, up again, move clothes from washer to dryer, down. In about 42 minutes I will have to go up again, take clothes out of dryer, bring them down. and put them away. But my cat will love it because I always spread a hot towel or T-shirt for her -- even in July!

Obviously I don't know how to edit a quote and still have it appear as a quote.

Thanks.

You wake up, you scan the Libre or check xdrip and you have a lovely flat line between 5 and 6 all night.

Then you do a fingerprint check and you're actually 12 - sensor out or whack and you've probably be high all night.
