Sorry, I can’t answer that, it could be that previously my wife had a lot of highs in previous days when I say high I mean above 20

Apologies for not responding earlier You suggested testing the pancreas, but the pancreas doesn’t work that is why she takes insulin When my wife last saw her nurse the nurse was far more worried about the lows than the highs saying that if the lows are sorted out then the highs will...

Dear All Many thanks for your responses and advice We have tried most of what has been suggested but the problem still exists. In fact tonight’s reading is very high.(over 20). By morning it will be about 4. This is a fact of life, drank some water and dosed with insulin We used to keep a...

Dear All Controlling my wife’s hypos at night is still a problem. What we tend to do now is make sure that before we retire at night is to make sure that the readings are between 14 and 18 so that hypos are less likely to happen during the early hours If the readings, before retiring,are below...

Can you believe it, the Doctor said that readings of HI , which is off the scale is OK!! I give up

Dear All Since my last post my wife’s levels are still uncontrollable in fact over the last week she has had a lot of high readings several of them being hi, which is in the high 20’s and is very worrying. The problem is that we don’t know why. Any ideas?

My wife is having lots of high readings over the last few months for no apparent reason, it could be after or before exercise/activity or in the middle of the night or before or after a meal. There is is no rhyme or reason. She is extremely upset about it. It’s 1am in the morning and she has...

I haven’t written for some time but we are having trouble with the Nova Rapid Flex Pens, recently they are not working properly inasmuch as they stick and you are unable to inject the insulin. Once or twice you can accept a faulty pen but it has now happened about 5 or 6 times over the last few...

It’s some time since I contributed to the T1 forum My wife’s blood sugar readings range from 2.7 to 18 sometimes higher. We are supposed to be between 6 and 10, there is is no rhyme or reason why this happens. We have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to control the levels. The forum...

Levels not so bad now. The problem is that the levels are defining when we can go to bed It is now 11pm and the reading is 10.1, so my wife has just had a snack so that the level goes up,then she is happy to go to bed This is nothing new.

Since the last post my wife has had another spine surgery about 4 weeks ago She is now doing very well and her time in range varies from 60% to about 65% so we are very happy with that She has had the odd hypo and worryingly the libre2 alarm did not work at about 3am, she awoke and discovered...

Just tried the fingerprick test now 27.7 Alos minjected 5 units of insulin to see what happens.

My wife has had problems due to masive fluctuations in sugar levels. So we decided this morning to go back to basics and recored everything on paper. What happened! we followed the rules and just now took a reading it was 27! at 9.30pm We are now at our wits end! The keytone reading is 0.1 so...

II don't know how old you are but I would double check that you haven't got Type 1 , my wife was misdiagnosed as type 2 because she was in her late 70's but after about 6 months correctly diagnosed with Type 1.

Thank you I have now completed the form.
