I've been put on some pain killers for nerve damage. Which is helping as I'm getting more sleep. Also getting my levels under control. Been put on Novo mix as my shift pattern changes from days to night every 4 days. Not ideal but I'm going to try it to see if it helps. Noticed on side effect...

Thanks I will keep an eye on my levels. When I'm on nights I do eat a lot of rubbish just to keep going.

Hi I have been working nights recently in the cold weather. I have been waking up with shooting pains in my toes and dull aching in my calf muscles. I only had my feet Checked a couple of weeks ago and they were fine. Does any one else suffer from this?

I'd say both. I don't like the hypo feeling. But I don't want to gain all the weight again. As I could never loose it. It was a doctor who told me that the long lasting insulin was what was making me put all the weight on. Now I'm finding it difficult mentally to even take any mess.

Hi I got my Hba1c results today and it was high 13.8. I know they were going to be high as my bloods are mid 20 when I test. When they go in the mid teens I feel terrible. I'm also worried that I will bloat out again if I get my bloods under control. Really in a bad place at the mo. I know what...

Good news I have got a new job so hopefully get my levels back to normal.

Thanks I will start logging his actions. I have a few interviews lined up so fingers crossed.

Unfortunately my boss thinks he's an expert on diabetes due to google. He is always watching what I eat and drink too. It wouldn't be so bad if I thought he was looking out for me. He is looking for a way to get rid of some employees without paying redundancy. He only comes to work to stop...

Hi sorry for not replying was busy sorting my bloods out. I tend to keep them high as I do a lot of driving. Which I know is bad for me but if I take any time off my boss has threatened me with dismissal. Any back to the point I hadn't realised I had let them go so high. Also my meter does key...

Hi there has any one else had fruity breath or a constant sweetness in there mouth. Feels like your gums are sweet. If so can you in-lighten me please.

Hi last year I was at a real low point in my life and I blamed it on my diabetes and all the meds I was on. I was constantly bloated and over weight. No matter on what diet I was on. So I stopped taking my insulin and other meds. Ramapril statins. I have lost weight and gone back to my pre...

Hi sorry to hear your going through bad times. I can relate to what your going through as I'm the same. It's brought on severe depression to the point were I have been using the novo rapid to try and overdose. But when I go into a hypo state I can't get passed the hunger feelings and have to...

As your on your three month trial they can let you go and give you any excuse they want really. As it's in the contract that can release you within that time period if they think your not the right person for the job. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Eating carbs while on insulin you will soon put the weight on. Be carful what you wish for though. I was 13 stone and have had to cut out carbs so that I can lower my insulin intake so I can loose weight. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi I have suffered from a low libido for a few years. I started when I went on to insulin. I complained to my doctor who sent me for tests and then said there was nothing wrong with me. They offered no help from there. I stopped taking my insulin and went back to my original weight and started...
