Thanks..thats tonight reading material sorted then. so far anything lower than 5 is causing issues,below 4 and i am well into a hypo like state,this is when panic sets in and makes the whole thing worse and have seen it drop to 2.8 mmol in a matter of minutes,literally minutes. this is when i...

Most of what i know to do i have learned here from you good people,only recently got a meter again so using it right now to test what foods do what to me. I have read a lot on diet,but what seems to be happening is heart meds and diabetes meds are at war inside me,so the reading most people get...

I know...lol i`m battling the pills and not the condition it seems. hopefully this changes when i get to see a professional. This place and people have been the best move i have made so far ;) I`d kiss every one of you if i could...even the hairy guys

Right now its a bit of a rollercoaster,been dodging so many things for years. so far its porridge in the morning,fish midday and night time is still trial and error,as thats when i take that new pill thats stripping the glucose,but chocolate is doing well battling that one. one important thing...

You have no idea how much that makes me feel better,its like walking the edge of a cliff ,but i am finally learning. i have been using the meter to gauge what food is doing what,it seems my heart diet is totally at odds with a diabetic diet,so its going to be a slow road. I still dont blame...

replying to a,, 3 answers above... i was T2 for years,thats when the drugs got doubled each time i had a bad blood test,recently to T1 and sent to main hospital who put me on the EMPAGLIFLOZIN and sent out into the world totally ignorant. blood tests all over the place range from 3.8 mmol to...

i have a meter,but the meds stay the same,levels are all over the place,trial and error is what i am doing now,but the anxiety is constant,as well as wierd cold sweats for no reason and the shakes. have to wait for diabetic nurse appointment which is a month away,but i honestly dont think my GP...
