    Type 1 and adjustments at work

    Bleeding after injection

    Good morning! After doing my breakfast injection in my stomach this morning there was quite a big blob of blood (maybe I pinched too hard?) and now there's a little bruise. Sometimes I do get little specks but I've never had anything like that before. Maybe a silly question, but I'm worried...

    So ill/ frustrated/ don't know what to do

    Not silly at all! It did cross my mind as I had been living in Vietnam six months before getting ill. It took a VERY long time, but I was diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy and peripheral sensory neuropathy with severe gastroparesis being what was stopping me eating. More than likely caused by...

    So ill/ frustrated/ don't know what to do

    Sorry I haven't been back to update! Its been another couple of weeks of going back and forth from the GP with health really deteriorating and ended up in A&E on Sunday -I was very dehydrated and my heart rate was at 143! Lot's of fluids pumped into me & anti-sickness prescribed which has made...

    So ill/ frustrated/ don't know what to do

    @ewlina Yes they've given me HuxD3- I've got to take two weekly for 8 weeks. I wonder if it is that! The Dr seemed to say that the Vit D shouldn't be making me feel so bad... but they have given my a high does - the standard instructions are to take one capsule every two weeks

    So ill/ frustrated/ don't know what to do

    Since November I've gotten very tight control over my type 1 diabetes (it was terrible before). But since before christmas I've been feeling pretty bad and it seems to be getting worse and worse. I have zero appetite (its gradually been getting worse), I've lost over a stone in three weeks...

    Type 1: HbA1c

    Do you know more about this? I've recently got control back after going off the rails for a couple of years, my Dr said its the fastest drop in Hba1c she's ever seen (it was really bad before). I've been feeling terrible since! No appetite (I really have to force myself to et anything at all)...

    Alternative injection sites?

    @GrantGam It seem's to have been fine and bump disappeared fairly quickly! I had actually dropped to 3.8 on waking up at 7 and have been as normal so far today :)

    Alternative injection sites?

    Help! I just injected my basal, and even though I try to rotate, it was quite painful this evening and I noticed a lump when I took the pen out. Does this mean the insulin won't absorb well??

    Bloodsugar rise after taking insulin but didn't eat yet

    This happens to me too, but I really struggle to eat too soon after getting up - it makes me feel nauseous :/

    Help in dealing with neuropathy

    Hello! I've been suffering with neuropathy in my feet for a few weeks now, what I'm really confused about is that its only started as I've gotten tight control over my sugars. The last couple of months its been very rare for my sugars to go over 9, and there generally always below 6.5 (but this...
