It's more a case the muscles arn't able to hold my weight and balance is nearly impossible, i can on occasion stand but walking almost always involves falling over again so easier just to crawl. My left leg is very unsteady and shakes very easily when hypo. It also aches alot after going hypo...

Mircoalbumin are indicators but not proof of kidney damage, there are various ways the tests can be unintentionally fooled (semen, expelled drugs, etc) as they simply test the amount of protein in the urine. The 24h of **** tests are more accurate and from memory I think they should be around or...

hopefully helpful (but maybe just reference): You may inject but you cant expect fast results soon after a carbo intake as that will still be there, he's eaten food he'll be rising BG for a couple of hours depending on the food and the insulin will only stem the rise, to reduce the rise and...

Do you remember why you where crying? I have cried just a few times when hypo, its wyrd and inexplicable, just a sudden urge to unleash floods of tears! You didn't confuse your background insulin with actrapid did you? That sounds the easiest answer - drop like a stone and then a high in the...

The only related thought I can think is that going hypo is extremely tiring on your body, and often I can sleep a good 6-7 hours after a very serious hypo.

diabetes will not effect your tattoo at all unless you have serious complications and/or circulation issues. When I save enough money I'm going to get a tattoo in a few months :)

I found that being alone when going hypo has forced me to develop very strong willpower to force my resistant body to get to the food, often crawling as my legs cant balance my weight. I think that if I don't force myself to get some grub I'm going to die, that usually gets the mental reserves...

ahhh, you beat me by 0.1 !!! although saying that I've also never knowingly reached 38!!

chinese is the richest of take aways, all base sugars and base fats. 28 is impressive you could keep still long enough to get the blood. lol

All we need to do now is force our hypo brains to hillucinate a person in the room and we can sort ourselves out easy :) !

Yes, this sounds very similar to my mentality during some hypo's - amazing clarity of thought and the sudden realisation i've completed life's jigsaw and can see the image it makes! :) I've had numerous great ideas during a hypo that I've later been forced to reconsider due to the real world...

Hi Just joined and posted in the T1 forum a serious post, this one however is intended to be a little more light hearted :) ! So I thought, post and tell people your lowest ever recorded blood level reading? *NOT* readings taken by other people but reading you have successfully taken yourself...

Hello First post so apologies if this has been beaten to death by previous posters.... Anyhow, as an intro. goes, I'm 26, diabetic for 20 years. Type 1. Levels fair to ok, HBA1c last time was 7.4 as a basic indicator. Anyhow, my reason for posting is to ask if anyone else who is diabetic has...
