Hi Nick, I've had type 1 for 51 years and due to tight control I have no hypo awareness, tried running higher to recover awareness but to no avail, my consultant said that due to the length of time I've had diabetes and the good control I won't get awareness back.
Hi Phil, I wonder sometimes with my own awareness is partly related with my exercise and has been an ongoing conversation with my consultant. In the early days i was up and down like a yo-yo trying to get the balance with how much i injected with what i ate and combined with the exercise i did on that day and previous days. It is still something i'm fine tuning to this day and think because of the ups and downs i'm aware when it's down if that makes sense. So, are you saying you have no awareness? At what level do you realise you are low? Or are you saying because it's under tight control it never gets a chance to go low?
I had my cat for 20 years saskia i swear she thought she was a dog if anyone knocked she would run to the front door i hope your cat is okGood morning, everyone where it's morning! I'm just heading to bed. Worried about my cat again. I know I need to get some sleep, but ...
Started fast again Have a good day everyone
I can be as low as 1.9 and feel and function normally or assume I'm normal, my partner can recognize when I'm low and she's saved me on numerous occasions, the other day the cat was looking at me and meowing, I felt fine but my blood glucose was 1.9, my partner will say that I'm low but I will deny it, if I lived alone I wouldn't be here.
I've only had one low reading like yours...exactly 1.9 however for me leading up to that i was laughing uncontrollably and had a 'waxy' feel to my skin according to my partner at that time. That was in the early days and one of the many lessons i learnt such as 'don't inject straight after a hot bath!.
Love the idea of sweet FA in terms of a low carb diet
Please let us know over the next few days. I'm constantly being offered these things but the invites usualy come when Im already under the influence of one bug or another..Fingers crossed for you..
I have an inkling that 'sweet FA's' may be carb free Orson
I saw Fever Pitch years ago and really liked it, but I've forgotten if they said that.
For me dehydration seems to be involved - I had them frequently in the hot summer but - hardly dare say it - they have been much better in the last few months. I was taking magnesium and spraying plus the salt. Having said this I also ch@nged my magnesium supplement at that time to one that seems to be better absorbed - magnesium bisglycinate - and these seem to have worked along with better hydration. I no longer need to use the spray. I do make sure I drink as much water as possible and plenty of salt alongside the Magnesium bisglycinate. Hope this helps. I feel for you they are so painful good luck.
You may not want my definition of what one isI am glad to know now what a Gooner is.
