Hi Jamie, it seems this is more common than we all might think, as I also do this. I have had 2 severe hypos in my sleep, and seem to have lost my awareness of them during the night. My other half has a couple of times now asked me what he should do when he too nudges me and I 'refuse' to wake...

Hi Hellbunny, im looking for that group on fb and can't find it. Loads of pages and groups for 'sugar mummy's' if you get my drift, but struggling to find the right one. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I used to skydive, but unfortunately I had a malfunction on one jump and ended up hitting the ground a wee bit hard and crushed one of my vertebra. My user name was a play of the word 'fallen' as in not so quite innocent 'angel', but also due to having literally 'fallen'. I no longer jump...

Hiya, I don't particularly, in fact hardly ever restrict my carb content, but I'm type one. However I do from time to time follow the Primal Blueprint way of eating, which is all about low carbs and high protein and veg etc. It's also called the Palleo (not sure I've spelt it correct though)...

Hiya Jo,
I wish I'd found this site / app before going on a pump, as I would've asked similar questions as you have.
I had the same meter as you and so decided to have the pump that went with it.
When first on it, it's natural to be cautious about it, but its very robust and mine has...
I've been experiencing that every morning for a while now and it's either due to dawn phenomenon or because I'm not getting enough insulin thought the night (I'm on a pump now since mid March). Was told by diabetic nurse to check BM about 3am to try establish what's going on.

And I must point out the important bit that I have had no issues with the carb content those things have suggested. BM's always been good after their drinks based on their carb content info provided.

I know both Costa and Starbucks have their nutritional info for all products as I have asked and they've been really good at getting me the info when requested when I order. Starbucks also have an app which tells you the nutritional info for every drink etc. And Costa's website has a fab...
