Also, does this sound like it could be neuropathy? I'm hoping it's nothing serious. Maybe carpal tunnel although not sure how to explain the loss of strength, loss of full hand movement and increased reflexes.

Thanks AlaskaRon...I'm sorry that sounds dreadful. I'm suitably in panic, and cannot sleep out of fear. Wish I could drink to sleep but no alcohol here and I haven't drunk in two yrs. No operation or breaks, just the cleaning I do for a job.

Hi, I've been experiencing these symptoms and I'm wondering if this sounds like diabetic neuropathy. And, where carpal tunnel symptom goes in hand with diabetes. My history: 20 yrs diabetes, poor control. I've been cleaning as a job for last 8months. I also suffered from. Type of RA for number...

Or perhaps you can call up to order, pay on the phone

I live with this issue on a minute by minute basis! It makes me feel like not eating, which usually results in my eating anyway and feeling my body go sluggish. I also feel guilty when this happens during work because my work is not the same. Took me a while to realise that when I feel...

I use XDrip+, my phone won't take the official app and I couldn't afford the more expensive phone. XDrip is great and if you aren't part, join CGM in the cloud and xDrip G5 Facebook groups to find out more.

I can't write now because I've gotta get back to work but I totally relate. Practically 20yrs of diabetes, also in mid 20s and totally struggling with diabetes practically and emotionally. Hang in there, ttyl

Hi everyone, I'm looking both for support and advice. I work at a physical job at the moment and my blood sugar is 24. I have no energy to continue to work and feel rather frustrated. Blood sugars always frustrate me. I have a terrible fear of going low, and for some reason don't like to...

Yes, that's exactly my question! Is this so, bringing out of the UK too? Thank you!

Hi, I purchased my Dexcom sensor and now I'm abroad. I ran short (came out before the week was over) so i want to check if it's a problem for someone to bring it for me. I can't imagine it is, can someone confirm this for me? Thank you!

I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 5 and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at 8. Really messed me up. Thankfully i was on none steroid (although still really strong) meds. Years later i stopped taking my meds (insulin too) and have been in remission since. I was lucky it went into remission after...

I think i read about people connecting their freestyle to phone on the Facebook group CGM in the cloud,

When i go long distance exercise, I'd take, my meter, make sure it's got plenty strips and battery; plenty sugary food for hypo - exercise tens to lower sugar's, some people, drastically, so take less basal; spare insulin site, an insulin pen. Make sure pump has insulin and battery. Regular...

When my blood sugar's were really high, my urine was foamy all the time. I used to be able to judge by the shade of my urine if my sugar's were stable or very high. I don't have a suggestion as to why you're having this, but this i my experience.

Hi, and welcome to the world of diabetes. I laughed when i read that you know to check because "oh I'm crying again". I have that usually with high blood sugar's and my thoughts turn suicidal. I've learnt to test, correct and wait till my sugar's go back to normal. When I'm with a low blood...

Pizza is fatty so what happens is, you carb count, take insulin but after few hrs once insulin has worked already, the pizza continues to be digested and thus you end with a high sugar. Sometimes it can cause low BG first and then high. The solution is combo bolus on the pump and split insulin...

Another cause may be taking your insulin in the same spot. Have you tried different areas, tummy, leg, arms? It's important to rotate areas because lumps of insulin can gather under the skin and new insulin injected there will not work as well. Just a tip, when I'm high i inject into my muscle...

Hey Nessa, i read your posts, the opening one in particular i felt you. These posts could have been me a few years ago. I too hated the attention factor and began to believe i was doing it just for attention. I didn't see any mention of diabulmia here - an eating disorder where type one...

Hi there, At suggestions for good Facebook groups to join that offer support for type 1? There's a whole lot of groups, i only wanna join one or two. Ideas? Thanks!
