      HI Ian
      I filled in the online request to post details about my PhD research and invite forum members to take part. I've not heard anything back and wondered if you could point me in the right direction about who to contact to make sure they have all the information they need (& to make sure I used the system :) ). Many thanks, Karen

      Hi IanD - I have just registered with the diabetes forum and would like to know what members do when, after a period of tingling and severe 'burning', their feet go quite numb and new veins appear and the skin goes orange and blue. Can medics help or am I ultimately destined for amputation?

        That is a serious sign that you need to get better control of your diabetes. I was diagnosed with numbness in my thigh - 15 years ago. With good control achieved by medication (3x500 metformin daily) & a low carb diet I am in good health, without symptoms. I suggest you ask on the open forum & follow the advice consensus.

      Hi Ian

      My 7 year old daughter who is worryingly showing signs of type 1. I tested her blood this morning on my own blood glucose monitoring machine and it gave a reading of 12.1, she had nothing to eat during the night. Is it time to get her up to the hospital or should I test her blood again in a few hours just to be sure.

      Many thanks for your help

      I am trying to get information on reversed glucose level readings and whether or not it is a sign of diabetes. My fasting glucose levels are around 140 to 160. After I eat my glucose levels drop to 90 to 110. I would appreciate any type of input on this possible. Thank you

        Overnight fasting glucose levels may be high (as you are finding) due to the "dawn phenomenon" whereby the body releases glucose to energise you for the day ahead. Readings of 140-160 are higher than non-diabetic.

        What are you eating, & how long after eating are you getting the reduced reading? A high carb b'fast - such as cereal is llkely to give a low reading after about 2 hours, but a high reading, above 200, in one hour.

      Hello @IanD
      Could you tell me how to tag @daisy1 so a new member can receive the basic newbies information. A member @CheeseJunkie posted earlier, but no-ones responded yet. Thanks.

      Can we have a forum for partners of diabetics or are there not many of us on here?

        I suggest you post your questions on the forum. No need specifically for partners. All with an interest in diabetes are welcome.

        My partner is newly diagnosed - I'm browsing under his membership which I have just helped him set up - he knows, and doesn't mind, and some of the info here is helpful. However, I strongly agree with Dusty13 that a forum for partners would be good - I think there is a need. Julia

      Hi Ian. I signed up for the course on Hypo awareness; completed the 1st module, but was unable to continue as nothing happened when I clicked on the next icon. I was after getting a wristband (Insulin dependant diabetic), but again I could only get so far with the application.

        If you go back to the last chapter in module one, scroll to the bottom and click the button to progress that way and you should be able to continue and complete the program.
