I get them on prescription from GP they will surely give you some!

Sorry haven't been on for a while. Been in and out of hospital! Still no idea what's going on! :( Had the blood test again for addisons and now they don't think it is that! Had my 72 hour fasting which was horrific to say the least! I was already 3.9 when I arrived at the hospital and made it...

Now you say it I'm surprised too. The way he was talking I had to have ambulances on standby! Think I will call them tomorrow and ask for some. They did, however, give me test strips!

Yeah apparently it is along with the stomach pains I've been getting, dizziness, headaches etc. My cortisol was meant to be around 100 but was 50. :/ The doctor told me today that if I feel too many hypos or pass out etc an ambulance should be called immediately. Id never even heard of it...

15th. :) dreading it like. They said normally fast from midnight before I go in but as I'm struggling to go without food for longer than an hour they said not to do it as will be dangerous. I haven't read anything about it yet so will look at the link thanks :) my head still banging off the...

Well back from doctors and they have brought my fasting glucose forward. But said all my bloods point to Addison's disease. Not 100% sure what that means coz I had a bad hypo in there so he had to give me glucose so can't remember most of what he said :/ Hopefully find out more at glucose test!

I have contacted the hospital and they said they will sort :) My GP took some blood tests yesterday morning.. Finally they listen (although still won't give me the testing stuff). Anyway I missed a couple of calls from the hospital during the night and I finally woke up at 1am to their call...

I certainly hope so. Don't really understand the whole thing to be honest. They keep telling me to eat sugary biscuits and chocolate but seems crazy advice from a doctor. I've been eating smaller meals with the odd snack between see how it goes. Guess there's not much I can do about the hypos...

So you go high too? Mine never go high they're always low :(

Haha! Think I may have the bacon too! The drip brought it into the fours but as soon as they took it off it dipped again. Called my GP today to get some test strips on instruction from the hospital. Was furious as the GP told me they won't give me any and instead of checking my blood I should...

Hi, Thanks for the advice I will give it a try. :) I'm due to have a 72 hour fasting in four weeks. Really nervous though as I've had to fast for a few hours recently for operations and both times I passed out and ended up on glucose drips :( Yeah feel free to move it I wasn't sure where to...

Hi, I have been struggling for over a year now with my blood sugar and hoped someone would be able to give me ideas. Firstly, I have been told I don't have diabetes. My issue is hypoglycaemia. I am really battling with it. I have on average about six periods of it a day which is making me now...
