Before I never really drank much at all but since trying to stay hydrated I drink about 4 water bottles of squash every day. Don't think that's near enough what I should be drinking though. I don't actually count my salt intake (oops!), and as for other medications I'm only on my insulin...

I never really drink much anyway but I'm forcing myself to. I know I was admitted to A&E once with a very fast heart rate and it turned out it was because I had high blood sugars and I was dehydrated - don't want to go down that road again! Thanks for the chart :)

Hi all I've been suffering with a dry mouth/feeling thirsty for a few days now. My blood sugars have been a bit unstable (due to stress, uni etc) so I'm assuming that is the cause but I can't be certain. Has anyone else suffered from this when their sugars have been erratic? I will contact my...

Hi all Has anyone been having trouble with the GlucoRx FinePoint Needles being out of stock with pharmacies? I've been told by my pharmacist that I can use the CarePoint ones instead as they are kinder on the skin and work just as well. Answers on a postcard please :)

I normally write all the day's meals in a book with the carbs etc so I can look back and check the carbs for something in the future; I haven't done that lately!! You'd think being a uni student would leave me more organised but I'm definitely not o_O I ordered the Diabetes UK carbs and cals...

Definitely relatable!! Whenever I have constantly high blood sugars I feel absolutely awful. My problem is keeping them within range every day and not skipping the carb counting - I tend to do that and boy so I regret it :(

I don't have any of those symptoms, only cold hands and fatigue - common signs of high blood sugars? They've been unsteady for a few months due to uni/exam stress so maybe a build up? :confused:

I'll have to give Juggluco a try then as I use Android. Thanks :) I've use wheaty warmers but I find they go cold too soon so I've always stuck with a hot water bottle. My blood sugars levels have been a bit sporadic during the past few months due to exam/uni stress but I finish on 1 June so...

I suffer really badly with the cold. I have to layer up and sometimes wear at least 2 pairs of socks to keep my feet warm. I think my circulation has a lot to do with it if I'm honest. I have to be careful with walk/exercise at certain times of the month as I also suffer badly from PMS...

I don't have the numbers unfortunately although I've just sent an email asking. I actually have a really bad fear of venous blood tests so I'm reluctant to ask for another, but if it means getting down to the problem then I guess I'll have to :(

I think it's dependant on the weather too? Like I don't know how the temperatures are where you are but in England we've had a really long winter and quite a cool spring so far. It's not been warm at all yet :( Do you get cold hands too?

Yes, I had it tested in January and in October; all the results came back as in range. I'm due a visit to my diabetes consultant soon so I will mention it to him then. What other symptoms did you have if you don't mind me asking? :)

Hi guys :) I was just wondering if any of my fellow Type 1 Diabetics have suffered/suffer from cold hands/feet/nose? Over the last 4 months or so (during the winter in the UK) I've noticed that my hands are cold; occasionally my feet and nose get cold but it's mainly my hands. I had a blood...
