I’m hoping it was just what I ate was at 7 this morning. And down to 6.5 now. Hoping it’s not an infection

Thanks for advice just wish I could get a definitive answer without all the waiting between gp appointments

Evening guys and girls. So a bit of background to start I was misdiagnosed for 4/5 years to start with but since I’ve been diagnosed as type 1 but lada in May of this year started straight in insulin although my test results came back as I’m still producing a lot of my own and off all the oral...

I could also be the time of year. I’ve only been using insulin for a few months when I started my hair was ok but since the warmer weather has hit mine is coming out pretty badly too.

High guys and girls. So I’m about two months into my diagnosis now still producing a lot of my own insulin but was put on degludec and nova rapid. I take my degludec every morning around the same time. However I’m finding that my readings when testing pre mealtime I’m often on the lower side...

Today’s lunch was delayed with going to the drs and popping into work to discuss things with my manager but due to getting up a bit later than I would usually worked out ok for meal time gaps. I was 13.5 before leaving the house and 5.2 just now before eating lunch which is only 2 hours between

Well I tried to talk to my dad about my mental state post diagnosis but that didn’t help. He basically said that there’s nothing I can do to change it stop feeling sorry for myself and get back to work. I have managed to get a GP appointment for 12:20 for medical advice on going back or not.
