Last night, my husband and I went to visit his brother with our 15 year old daughter for the evening. I ended up having an out of the blue hypo, bg went from a respectable 7 down to 2 in about half an hour. It was treated with oj and chocolates. Unfortunately, some of this time is a bit of a...

I need to drink between 4 and 5 litres of fluid per day - including a pint of water in the night to ensure that I wake at least twice to empty my bladder. I have an inherited genetic kidney stone condition called Cystinuria and have had 12 operations to remove stones and have passed 100s - some...

Hi all, just a quick update - Dad's latest hab1c was 50, he has also maintained his weight loss. I have decided to keep a discreet eye on the situation, gently reminding him and mum about maintaining the low carbing and maybe introducing additional testing throughout the day.

Husband's just made himself a cup of tea for himself and did not bother making me one, because he is continuing a minor disagreement from Friday - how long can he continue this - can't wait for him to return to work tomorrow.

Thank you both - I agree with you, I am worried about some of what he is eating - my mum gave him a Tescos fruit pie the other day at 35 grams of carbs each! But I am in an awkward position - despite being married 61 years and still very much in love, they argue like cats and dogs, and I have...

Thinking of you and your daughter, I have no advice, just my hopes and prays for you both.

@Gemma2 Thanks for the reply and for the information regarding Moorfields - I will contact the Support Line after Easter. The consultants did not appear to be that concerned about the Oedema - in fact they did not mention it at all during the consultation, but I only found out about it in the...

@Juicyj Thank you for your reply. The doctors want to see me in one month to review the left eye and he promised to have plan by then. I have blood in the back of the left eye, but there is so much they can't see where it is from. I also have asteriod hyalosis which is also obscuring the...

I have been a type 1 for nearly 44 years, I have also an inherited kidney stone disease which means I have had numerous operations, "blasting" treatments, countless UTIs, and have "passed" 100s of stones - which has led onto CKD stage 3. Because of the stones I have had sepsis twice, on one...
