Hi guys. Has anyone have other places to inject rapid rather than belly? My one needs some rest. If I inject to butt will it make insulin absorbtion slower than it should be? Or if I inject to arm , will my sugar levels drop too fast? Please share your experiences

All office went like bugs one after another, I lived. So I guess it worked for me!

Hmmm..I didn't know supermarkets sell them too. Well thanks, I'll go see diabetic team tomorrow if they give me appointment.

Hello dear diabetics! I have urgent question. I lost my blood sugar meter, where do I get it asap? Anyone had any problems or needed to wait until it gets delivered? I know they sell it in boots, but maybe if I go to walk-in, I get it for free? Please help somebody!

I did not have any virus, but I did go through a very stressful period prior to becoming diabetic. I found myself drinking lots-something very unusual to me, having no energy whatsoever and having very disturbed sleep because of running to toilet every 5 mins. So feeling tired and so on is not a...

I lived alone for a year and was newly diagnosed. Nothing much changed since I moved in with my boyfriend: once tried waking him up to help me, but at the end went to kitchen get sugar myself. Whenever I have low sugar he offers me chocolate or cake...and can never understand i need at least 10...

I'm waiting for answer from doctor too..good luck:)

I get very heavy, ready to burst legs when i spend too much time sitting by the desk. I have fizically hard job and i spend all day on my legs, but this does not give me any bad feeling in legs. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

When you eat low carb meal your bg will go up for up to 2 hours, then it will go down. without needing to take quick acting insulin. It is important not to check your sugar untill next meal just so you dont stress yourself needlessly. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I know the feeling.. When i was just diagnosed i was eating crazy, nothing would fill me up. Good news: it's going to pass just try to keep your sugars stable. 3 years on and my appetite is completelly gone, nothing taste good anymore so try to enjoy the food till it makes you happy:) Sent...

when you are hypo you need something that will make your levels rise as soon as possible. I find the feeling of hypo really uncomfortable and also i feel i could eat everything that i have so to avoid overeating and becoming normal as soon as possible i have orange juice 200-300ml. Coke...

One guy told me once:'I knew a woman who always ate salads and all healthy stuff only to find out she had cancer all over her body'. Some people just think they know everything, when they don't know simple facts about illness. Everytime i have hypo my boyfriend says:'oh..you have your insulin...

So you were low sugar all the time that you decided to go insulin-free? Because that's what would happen right..if your body was making insulin itself, any extra insulin would make yopu go low-sugar.. Is this a joke, seriously???

Hypo is considered anything less then 3.5 by DAFNE. Sometimes you might feel hypo because of quick sugar drop or if your levels been higher then usual for some time, it's normal. If it's 3.9 i would take something too..it is low..but maybe just a cup of tea..

You might need more of the long acting insulin, the one that keeps you going for longer :) Quick acting insulin works for 3-5 hours , so after it finishes it's all up to the long acting insulin. Try a carb free meal. Make sure you have good levels before eating and if it spikes after carb free...

Interesting..giving up smoking has been in my mind for 3 years and those years were full of try and fail..and i got diabetes too after about 3 attempts to quit. But it must be a coincidence..well maaaaayyybe the stress of giving up might have fastforwarded the diabetes..who knows.

DannyH, what is a fast hypo/slow hypo? it's the first time i'm hearing it, asking just out of curiosity :)

Suddenly i feel guilty for smoking :) Thanks guys, i appreciate your answers. You have given me motivation and courage to try quit. I tried patches before and it did help, that's how i stopped for a year. I would like to try e-cig now.. feel a bit sceptic about it but it's worth a try.

Wow i feel so happy you have posted this! I get these days too but it doesn't come around often do when it comes i feel super happy :D i feel every new day is a new story for me.. one day i might run around, other day can hardly get up from bed. It's interesting why is that..does it have to do...
