Hello Strachan 1 I also had extreme hair loss my dearly beloved started on about buying a wig but luckily it stopped falling out and has nearly all returned. Katrina

Hello DCUKMod No we have no idea of what bit me. I live in the South of England so nothing exotic. I have never had any problems with bites in the past. I doubt it would be a tic as they tend to hang on and burrow in with their heads. Katrina

Hi Odin the bites happened in this country just before I was hospitalised - I have two rough collie dogs and we walk through various terrains pasture, orchards and arable land. I have no idea what bit me but usually like everyone else they just come and go but not this time. No discussion took...

I was hospitalised for infected bites on my back requiring an operation to remove the infected flesh etc (yuk). I was put straight onto insulin administered by the nurses to start with. Whilst in hospital - three week stay - I had three consecutive hypos in the mornings and the following evening...

Thank you all for your replies. Some interesting things here. I suppose at present I should run with what I am doing and go from there.

Ok so now I am very confused. Last year in August I was hospitalised with insects bites on my back which were operated on and at the same time was diagnosed with T1 diabetes - blood sugar level of high 30s and a measurement of 113 ketones. This was a shock but ok as all of you out there have...

Thank you for all your replies there is interesting advice there which I will investigate further. Thanks again Katrina

Really pleased. Reading on diagnosis August 16 13% (113 yes I was very poorly) this week 6/7% (47). Hopefully down further next time.

Thank you azure. Yes I have the book I also have the carbs and cals book which is never far from my kitchen. Katrina

Thank you everyone. I know it is up to me to take a different route but it is hard not to see a similarity and let it get you down. I do have pretty good levels - in fact having read other threads I think I am doing quite well - my levels are usually around 4.8 to 6 during the day and when I...

Hi, I was diagnosed with T1 in August of last year after an operation on a badly infected insect bite on my back - I haTd been feeling tired etc for a couple of weeks. When I came round and realised I was going to live I was told about the T1 and that my blood sugar level had been 40 and my...

Hi HoneyBea, I was diagnosed in August last year and suffered from diarrhoea from the word go - I had an operation for an infected insect bite and came round to find a large wound on my back and a T1 diagnosis. For the first few months they kept saying it was the antibiotics. I also had a...

Thank you Struma, I read these and they are interesting I think I need talk to the diabetic doctor when I go for my review. Katrina

Thanks Tony Think I would need to change docs to get that done - I was basically told to take the tablets and manage it. But will take it up when I go for my review at the hospital in June. If I can keep to being at its worst late evening until then at least I can enjoy taking my dogs out...

Sorry to take so long to reply - laptop packed up. I am keeping it fairly well under control in that it usually only flares up at about 8 in the evening for a couple of hours which is when I think my Lantus runs out and pushes my b s up. I am looking into changing the one dose of Lantus to two -...
