Thanks for replies guys. I'm definitely not pregnant but the nervous feeling is still there. My levels have gone a bit all over th place so am gonna just keep an eye on it for a wee while longer.I just find it a bit odd that after 2 months of coming off the pill my body is only feeling weird...

Hi, Was diagnosed 2 yrs ago and all seems to be going well. However 2 months ago I came off the pill. Again, everything was going well until last weekend really. Began feeling nervous, with a nervous feeling in my stomach and my arms seem quite tired. I have no reason to think that something...

Nope, Had same problem last year. Dentist took it out there and then. Didn't affect sugar levels at all except that I wasn't hungry and did have to eat something. Just make sure to lower your insulin if you don't feel well and can't eat. Goodluck

Hi I usually try and get my run in just after one of my main meals, whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner.I don't like having to eat more just to exercise. Defeats the purpose really! It's usually after dinner due to my work routine and I usually half my insulin before my 40 min run. After it...

Glad to hear u got something back Jane. Just woundering if there is anything specific causing the acid in the stomach? Or is it the pill? Interesting all the same. Thanks

Would be great to hear back Jane. Hve cut down greatly on bread lately and am feeling some sort of relief. I have been stresed with work lately too so maybe that has something to do with it.Funny u mention that your daughters blood sugars are good because mine are great and getting better!! Best...

Hi, Just wondering if sweetners are as bad as people say they are? Like everybody else, sometimes I crave a can of Coke/Orange or a sweet coffee. Due to my diabetes I have to avoid these treats as much as possible. Lucky a can of coke zero/7 up free does the job and prevents me from drinking the...

Hi, Bn type 1 for 2 yrs now. Haven't bn above 7% so feel that I am quite controlled since first diagnosed. After the first year I had put on a stone, which I was told was very normal. I am not overweight. 9 stone and 5foot 3. However, the last month or so, I have found that I have been...

Thanks for your help, Ruth

Am Type 1 a year and a half now. I have fairly good control and docs seem very happy. However lately, have started to develop little stys on my fingers. Only my right hand. I don't know what it is or what is causing it. I've no doubt it's diabetes but for what reason does anyone know as I do...

Just been for my yearly check-up with the eye specialist. It went well but he showed me a small dot on the image of my eye where I have a small blood vessell. He told me it's nothing to worry about and that it happens to all diabetics. It's uncontrollable. To be honest I felt fairly miserable...

Hi, I also tend to exercise quite a lot since becoming a Type 1. Couldn't live without it now. I usually go for a run after my dinner during the week as only chance I get. However, with these dark evening sometimes I want to get my run out of the way before I sit down for the evening. I find...

Hey, I was out on Saturday night. Had a few drinks and had a good time. On Sunday, I reduced my dosage of insulin as I do after drinking. Everything seemed fine until Sunday night when I was going to bed. Checked my levels before bedtime and was 4.1. So I took some Lucozade and slece bread. Woke...

Yip, have always been between 6 and 6.8. Trying harder again to get them down now. Think infection is going now but I've n doubt it'll take ages to heal. Very frustrating. Anyway thanks for your help. Best of luck x

Hey, The other day, I was cooking my dinner and burned my hand. It was only a slight cut but put sudocreme and a plaster on anyway just to be on the safe side. 2 wks later, the LITTLE cut I think has become infected and is quite sore. I am well aware that any healing process takes longer for...
