The hospital dr said I need to contact my DSN She does not work Mondays but the other nurse does (who was there when they took me off the pump) Don’t know whether to contact her?

So today has been a nightmare, 1st day back at work, ended up leaving at 1 I had 30 grams carbs at breakfast that was it Been to hospital to get checked Not getting much help from diabetic team I feel I am unable to control my siabetes

No I wasn’t made aware & no response from my nurse still

Such a shame. My nurse was raving about Tresiba-thinks it’s great & good for me as reduced the night time hypos

That’s really interesting, never knew this. Hmm this could be a pain then as quite frequently I am changing as advised by my consultant (active lifestyle) Still waiting to hear from my nurse Finally though numbers are 6.5

Tresiba has definitely helped me Will try some basal testing, though some days are busier than other for me, generally more active in my days off, on busier days I have been reducing my Tresiba by 2 units

Thank you for your reply. Think I need to go back to low carb (don’t think my DSN will be happy) really fed up with this. Knocking my energy levels

This is the thing, originally was only going to be off the pump for a few weeks (as a holiday) then that turned into a couple of month, had clinic appointment & was told we’ll see in 6 months time I originally was low carbing but after the accident got told that basically I was starving myself &...

This am woke up 13.1- corrected with 5 units, as was having porridge for breakfast, had breakfast an hour later, 7.9 Walked my dog for about 40 mins, about 2 hours after my breakfast I scanned-16.5 rising, did a bm 22.9 gave correction dose Scanned again about 40 mins after 21.6 did a bm 24.9 I...

Yes please, thank you
