Hello, I have recently started using the Freestyle libre 2 which I must say is a game changer. Now I've been using this i can see what happens after I eat, I usually take Insulin 15 minutes before I eat when I feel a food has a high GI but I still get very high blood sugars over 15 even when I...

Thankfully it does seem to be that specific pen with the problem. Since I've used it my morning sugars have been much better phew!

The doctor said the same thing always having a spare pen for each insulin, they're going to order me another one aswell.

It does fill to the line! I wasn't aware of that so thank you! My doctor has got me a new pen we're going to trial it tonight, hopefully that does the trick.

An update but not so positive one so I changed the the cartridge last night, the same happened again, at 12am after 4 hours it was 15 which again Is very high for me then in the morning came down to 5 after a lot of Novo rapid, had a sandwich this morning and put extra rapid to cover a potential...

I had this problem years back but I was on Novomix which was absolute rubbish for me, it would dip when I exercised and like you said not long after I've treated it it would shoot up! Maybe it's something to do with your insulin maybe but that's the only idea I have!

That could make sense! I just couldn't believe seeing my sugars that high after not eating anything after the Lantus either [emoji1787]

For the past few days my blood sugars have been very weird, last night a took my Lantus at 8 as normal with 17 units like normal and my sugars reached 24 four hours later! My sugars have been very unusual. Haven't seen it that high in five years. I'm going to use a different pack tonight but has...

Thank you everyone for your answers, it's something I know many Diabetics are currently or will face in the future, retinopathy I mean. The mask is something I might still consider if the price is worth it but saying that keeping your vision healthy for your whole life is definitely a great...

The other day at the opticians I was shown a leaflet about a treatment which can prevent Diabetic eye problems, first I would like to ask how many people are aware of this product and also does anyone actually own one and what are they like? It doesn't look to be on the NHS currently...

Didn't think of that thank you!

As the NHS are understandably behind with doing screenings my appointment is ages away. I've decided I want to do a private appointment to ease my worry's but what places actually do them as I'm struggling to find some on Google.

Thankyou all for your positive replies! Mines nothing yet my blood sugars have mostly been good apart from 3 years of bad blood sugars back in college but it was all on my mind, it's good to talk about it I feel

Hi, it's just had me abit down the last few days thinking of a complication like Retinopathy, I have been a type 1 for 9 years now and one year had background but went back to normal the year after. My blood sugars have been up and down over the years but I have good control now. I just wanted...

Great to hear, the only treatment I've had so far is scaling, he mentioned nothing on following up

t Sorry to hear that, I hope that doesn't happen but it's not the end of the world if so. Didn't realize it was such a common condition now I've properly researched it

Thankyou for the reply and yes I knew both conditions went hand in hand with eachother especially with high blood sugars, my blood sugars have been under control for a couple of years now but I did have a bad term about 3 years ago until I had a insulin change, just wanted to see how other have...

Keep a close eye on them for any signs of infection. I would try and see a chiropodist obviously when safe to do so, they might even do an online appointment maybe to ease your mind.

Hi As a Diabetic of 10 years I know many complications are something that comes with the condition, all I wanted to ask is what are people's experience with Gum disease such as blood sugars, healing time, which form of gum disease as there is different stages, unfortunately I was diagnosed with...

How much have you took by accident, if it's a small dose then I wouldn't worry too much just watch your blood sugars closely
