The antibiotics have kicked in and I’m feeling much much better, adjusted my insulin doses appropriately with the help of a kind out of hours doctor after almost going into DKA Friday evening. Fingers crossed it will be smoother sailing now until my antibiotic course ends.

double checked with meter as my libre said 9.3.

I woke up this morning with ketones of 1.9 and a bg of 10.6, I have never had anything like this before. Very very scary

I’ve seen the sick day rules on google but my team never set a plan up for me so I’m not 100% on it

I have the dreaded tonsillitis and am starting a 10 day course of penicillin. My doctor said he doesn’t think it will have much more effect on my sugars as what the infection itself is having but I’m sceptical. Google hasn’t been too much help either with reassuring me. I want to be mildly...

I thought as much and am being as careful as possible incase my sensitivity comes back with a bang. Went on a little walk with my daughter today after breakfast and I seem to be closer in range but as soon as I’ve come home and pottered about doing some housework I’m going back up again.

Hi I was down with flu last week and thankfully recovered over the weekend. But I’m needing almost double the insulin I did even while Ill? could this be down to lingering illness? Is it usual after flu? Anyone experienced this??

oh I know! It’s because everyone’s mixing again due to the restrictions easing it’s almost like all the winter illnesses are visiting early. All I’ve wanted to do all day is sleep it off but I’ve known I’ve needed to try and force in carbs for my injections and keep an eye out for hypos with my...

I’ve come down with the dreaded flu, I had my flu jab booked in for next month and the damned thing has caught me early. Negative for covid and with how poorly I am, I am once again terrified of the dreaded covid. My blood sugar levels are on the low side, so I’ve reduced insulin as per my...

Still experiencing a lot of fluctuations today but feel I may be coming down with something as surely the alcohol would no longer be in my system.

I didn’t feel too bad upon waking. The hypos through the day have really knocked me about though and now I’m feeling quite worse for wear lol

Had a little bit of a heavy night on the alcohol. I don’t get drunk often, especially since diagnosis. I’m eating and drinking normally today, just have a bit of a sore head lol. Any insulin I am injecting though is just sending me hypo, I’ve even reduced ratio to 1unit-20gram carbs. Not...

Hey! I’m heading to a wedding on the 24th, haven’t been to a big event since being diabetic due to being diagnosed in 2019 whilst pregnant, then the pandemic hit! I’m so excited but also a bit apprehensive because I want to have a good time and enjoy it without worrying constantly about highs...

Type 1 a year and a half, I find I go high if I’m in direct sun for a period of time (which I try to avoid but sometimes it’s impossible). As soon as I start walking or conducting any kind of exercise my sugars plummet! Kinda like my body uses any insulin present at once! So I tend to need to...

I am fully vaccinated with AZ. First jab made me really unwell, fever, chills, no appetite, headache, nausea as well as terrible fatigue. The worst of the symptoms began 12 hours after vaccination and lasted 24 hours. After that I was fine, the sore arm and fatigue stuck around for about a...

I wear a band just to keep it secure and make sure it’s not knocked off during physical activity. Not had any issues, I do find you have to really make sure you size your band properly or you’ll not be able to keep it on long without your arm starting to feel like it no longer belongs to you...

I will definitely try this tomorrow morning! Thank you

I do rotate quite well.. however strangely enough I have had a few lumps and bad bruises pop up after some injections lately. I’ll definitely keep an eye on my sites going forward.

Okay, so I’ve been trying to get out more and work on some light exercise through the day to help with blood sugar levels. I've been basal testing and have been well controlled for about a month since falling off the blood sugar wagon for 6 months lol. It had been going well, however I’m...

I do yes :)
