I get too hot before is hours later this comes on. I read somewhere maybe low blood pressure but it looks like I'm an anomally?!

I like the last bit great excuse lol

How has is been going? I'm interested as after being diagnosed myself last June as late onset type 1 am now walking 30miles a week preparing for possibly coast to coast. I find though that I have to take on carbs every 5 miles and am starting to look like a banana! Any tips welcome.

Hi does anyone else get excessively cold several hours after a hypo? I've just spent most of the afternoon sitting with two jumpers, a wool cover and finally my woolly hat on as could not get warm!! Lol I've also noticed I feel really cold sometimes in bed when I suspect I may have had a hypo. I...

Update is official am type 1. Was in fact " never in doubt" with consultant just diabetic nurse forgot to write up ketones result and deferring to consultant. Is relief am getting fatter and trying novorapid now- moving to basal/ bolus hence why carb diet not working as in other post as...

I have same problem! has become bloated and round looking!

I suppose what Im asking is do certain people just have to eat virtually nothing to keep BG under control? I don't think 2 slices of bread, a lentil soup and a green salad (example of a days diet) should cause such erratic sugars?

Thanks gad test was inconclusive now waiting to see a consultant! (the reason was sent to hospital in first place but only seen nice but unconvincing diabetic nurses and dietician who gave the talk for the lowest common denominator). Bored with it all, thinking to forget testing and enjoy life!

Thanks it's all so vague isn't it! - feel abandoned by health professionals as not ringing them up all the time to ask questions. Basically I feel worse now than before diagnosis - fuzzy eyes, tired, bloated, and my first hypo after no activity?? - before would skip meals and be on go all day...
