Hi Sanober, I am the same as you. 1 year at xmas diagnosed Lada. still in the honeymoon period and I have a half unit pen because of the same reason as you, going to low on a 1 to 10 carb ratio. I have a very low carb diet so tend not to have to inject in the day which then makes things much...

Hey all, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me. I appreciate it. Sounds like I can take a lil bit of advise from all of you :-) so that's good!. I do believe deep down that I am not eating enough carbs.....infact probably only around the 50g mark most days. So my own...

Hi, I an type 1. one year at xmas. I am still struggling to come to terms with it and very strict on myself with regards my glucose levels. Probably a little ocd to be fair. I do quite well on a day to day basis and keep them with in the 4-7 range, although mostly by 9pm I am nearly at 8.5 or...

Yep, I have had it since I was diagnosed at xmas, a very high pitched sound which obviously sounds louder at night as it's quiet, to be honest it hasn't bothered me too much as I have been too busy with my BG levels lol, but now that I have some control over them my mind has a bit more space to...

Think we've been told David lol, and It's nice to know that there are many like us out there :-) .... we have each other....group hug :lol: Lorri.

I have to say I one of those people that doesn't think Diabetes has saved my life :-(. I was always had a healthy lifestyle, exercised and kept a check on my weight to the degree that some would say I was rather obsessed, but it was my choice!!!! Diabetes has taken all of that away from me...

LOL I'm permanantly attached to my bike :) I love it, it's the only thing that keeps me sane.....oh and keeps my BG's down....the the best bit....., is biking through the country side, to a lovely village and stopping for lunch! lol you can indulge slightly as you know you have to bike all...

What a shame, it's a bit too far :-( Lorri.

Hi mep73 and Robert72 :-) , thankyou for your replies, I guess I will soon see, but knowing me I will be quite strict with my diet so I am hoping I'll be ok, the thing that gets me is that when you have low blood sugar levels you have to eat? sometimes when you're not even hungry? this will...

Hi all, I would just like to ask a question if I may, I am awaiting a hosp app in 2 weeks to determine my diagnosis. I am currently being treated as type 2 but from what I have gathered with all the helpful information here on the Forum is that I could potentially be type 1, or 1.5, due to my...

Hey Smidge :-), was hoping you'd read my post, I really appreciate your time. I know that you have been through a similar experience. I am hoping to be able to have an intelligent discussion :lol: at best just a discussion! no seriously I will try and get as much info together before I go...

well I haven't put weight on no but I haven't lost anymore either, so that's good. But I'd rather be too skinny and keep my BG's low....or at least untill I get sorted with the hospital, I can put weight back on later hopefully :) . Thanks everyone for their comments I will take a note of the...

Hi Dib :-) lovely to hear from you. well as I mentioned it has been increased to 120 as the lower doses did nothing at all, I haven't been offered anything else and I wouldn't know enough about the other meds to argue, I am just happy that my BG's have come down but not happy about the fact...

Thanks all. I am and always have been a VLC (even before I was diagnosed) so not a problem for me at all. The only thing that made my BG's go lower was the Glic. I am very impatient with waiting for the hosp app which is why I keep asking questions on the forum, hoping I can come to some...

Hi Lorri, I was the same, initially diagnosed as Type 2 in Jul 2010 but didn't fit the typical profile and was subsequently diagnosed as Type 1. I was put on Glicazide to crash my BG but the doctor said to me this medication was only a short term fix to drop the levels. Once they had come down...
