I'm not overweight in the slightest. I'm in the normal bmi range. Also I did my hospital equivalent of DAFNE in September and my morning was set at 2 units to ten grams and was working fine! It's as if it's changed overnight all of a sudden. I also had my long acting set so that I went to bed...

Awww congrats!! Babies are amazing. I had my first almost 2 years ago now and just starting to want a second! I remember it being very hard work my hba1c was 6.5 ish and they still moaned at me a little about that lol but that's the best it's been my whole 15 years of being diabetic! I do...

Ok great thanks. It's just so frustrating. It seems any time I eat my sugar flies up. I don't think the long acting is the issue but I will test it. Last night my sugar was 6.5. A bit low for me to go to bed on so I had a cup of tea, no sugar, and 2 choc digestive biscuits. An hour later it was...

How do you do day time testing when you have to eat tho?? I mean I can skip breakfast but what about after that?

Ok I take my long acting just before bed so ill do some over night checks!! Although if I'm resistant will the long acting still do what it should??

What is metformin?? I have an appointment with my nurse Tuesday will she be able to put me on it? Or will I need to wait till I see a consultant?

No I've recently been lowering it as I was having way to much!! I even tried to up that again the last couple days to see if it would help but it hasn't!

The past month or so my sugars keep going high. I'm having more and more insulin to the point I'm not happy having so much and most times it still isn't bringing it down! It's getting highly infuriating! This morning I woke up on 11.8 (high for me in morning but I'm also struggling to get it...

Thank u. I was told on my carb course that's it's not good for us to eat a lot of no carb meals as we would keep missing insulin. They said once in a while is ok.

No I think it's normal to have 0.1 or 0.2 i went up to 1.0 a while back when I'll and panicked and went to a&e they sent me home and said not to go back unless it's 1.5

Also this forum is really great for advice :-)

I agree. Day by day. Make it your priority, do a carb countingn course, harass your nurses. Write everything down and find the patterns. I've abused my sugars for 15 years now being young and thinking it wouldn't affect me. I had a baby 2 years ago the only time in my life i had a hba1c in the...

Does anyone go to any sort of diabetic support group? I did a carb course a while ago and it's the only time I've ever actually been around other diabetics. I'd really like to get to know some others and spend time with them as they are the only people who can understand what we really go...

I'm also a self confessed carb lover. 90% of my diet is carb lol toast pasta potatoe etc. I struggle with breakfast as all cereal spikes me so I stick to trusty toast. What's a good breakfast that's not starch carb that's good on the sugars???

My eyes change daily. If my sugars are higher they blur but the next day can be completely normal again. Very frustrating!

My daughter is now 20 months. I've always had a tough time with her as she was seriously ill last year and I've been coping with her as a single parent! The attacks have only come on in the last 6 weeks or so, she is the reason I panick, as soon as I see a high I get these irrational fears that...

I just have a question about this!! My usual long acting dose is 20. I had 10 this morning as I'm going to have 10 tonight as I'm moving it from morning to night. Anyways I ate lunch at 1pm had insulin. Tested at 5pm sugar was 6.5 tested at 6pm sugar was 6.9 tested at 8pm sugar was 7.5...

Wish I could have a pump!

Mines the same! I was doing quite well for once and it's all a complete mess now. Mostly in the mid to late teens! So annoying and upsetting :-(

I'm now in the process of changing it back to bedtime. I took half a dose this morn, then will take the rest tonight. Then from tomorrow night start taking the whole dose. Didn't know how else to do it lol. Hoping it will stop the insulin resistance in the morning which most days was giving me...
