I am now suspecting UTI might cause neuropathy as I have kidney disease and don't always recognise UTI.

I sometimes feel low at 4, but not every time, usually it's under 4 to go hypo..I'm on insulin.

Strangely my BS are mostly in range. I used to get really high readings so disappointed that my new lows are not helping my troubled feet and legs.

I've booked GP appointment but I am wondering if meds can help. I'm already in great pain as I wait for hip replacement, now added to that my mild neuropathy has started raging in warm weather. My feet and shins feel like there should be flames coming off then and last night in bed were so bad I...

I'm trying to update my profile I found my details but can't see how to update them,

I've been on insulin for over 3 years. I take insulin with Novomax twice daily 6 in morning 8 at evening meal.

I'm having trouble in finding my previous posts, including ones made this week where I ask for advice on what to do when fasting BS is low. I used to measure my BS and then take my insulin before eating. Should I just skip the insulin or take later after eating? Only recently suffered low BS due...

I am awaiting hip replacement and all cartilage is gone from right hip, dreadful pain especially at night, so painful have to get up feels like bones lock up. Above this an my lack of movement has exacerbated neuropathy feet feeling dead and either too hot or cold. I'm hoping once hip surgery...

Low BS is comparatively new to me, I used to suffer with high BS but changed my eating habits. Mostly in range but I have libre fitted and alarms go off around 4.00 or under. My question is if my fasting sugar is low should I just eat breakfast - missing my insulin shot? Obviously I can't take...

5.7 finally getting good results since I started breakfast again.

I'm on 14 mm novomix a day. I felt really shaky and nauseaos with this so thinks its pretty spot on. Got BS up to 4.1 and moved around a bit, but felt rough for a while.

In last few weeks I've been having sugar lows. I cannot quite understand why except I've been snacking less. I have libre 2 which alerts to lows of below 4. Early morning to 5.00 ish my alarm keeps going off BS 3.1 to 3.7. I've got glucose tabs takes 2 or 3 to get into BS 4.00. I've just eaten a...

I have to request bin collection from local council, new bin delivered on Weds and full bin taken. On this occasion the replacement bin was a used one! I did complain and a new one came next day. I asked delivery man if he left the previous one, he said yes and apologised for error saying didn't...

I've just started using the Libre, which is great when scanner works but so many error messages and alarm keeps going off - I set it at 4.2 as I get shaky when in low 4s, I've now set at 3.9. I felt shaky and found my BS 3.4. In last few weeks I've had lots of lows and cannot quite understand...

Not sure where to write this but my sharps bin collected today by local council. I am horrified that the replacement bin is full of someone else's used novomix sharps. It was left outside my door, which is fine as I'm in a senior's complex. But when I picked it up was really heavy, so I looked...
