Thanks for the info

Hi There, sorry for the late reply, I must have missed the notifications. I am currently having the Lucentis injections in both eys at the moment. Since the treatment I seem to have improved vision in my right eye and worsened vision in my left eye (typical lol) - One got better and the other...

Hi, Just wondered if anyone with Macular Edema & Proliferative Retinopathy has had their Dr tell them they had excess water behind the eye and what that meant? - Had the Dr tell me that the other week, but didn't explain much? - I'm having regular Lucentis injections to keep it under control...

Maybe I'm killing a fly with a sledgehammer in these early stages in this ninja artform of following my body around :D :D :D

Still getting my head around it all to be fair and prefer to stay slightly higher but might set a 3am alarm for a few nights and see where I'm at ;) - Thanks for the response guys :D It could be my overall dosages are a little high or I need to lower the bolus and increase the basil during the...

Hi Guys, So I was just looking for a little advice... I'm on 22 Units of Tresiba in a morning I'm on varied dosages of NovoRapid during the day (depending on what I'm eating). Carb Ratio 1:10 So if I'm say 5.5mmol before bed; I always have 2 wheetabix as supper before I sleep. Problem being...

Normal or Magic? (Just kidding) :) - I buy them in; saves time :) Aldi are usually pretty good on price

I was on meds for years; told it wasn't 'essential' to test so much so I didn't..... Next thing, I developed Retinopathy in my eyes and had Laser and Injections.... It's vital (regardless of type) in my view to ensure people see the storm coming as the disease (in type 2) progresses - It took a...

PS - The next time my sister tells me I can't have a Custard Cream Biscuit she's going to get punched after testing at 4.9 :D #anothervictorydance

Thanks for the support guys, means a lot in this health minefield - good to know there are people out there who 'get it' :)

Although; I'm still to this day unsure which type I am - My GP said Type 2; when I developed retinopathy the consultant said Type 1? - Was on Metformin and Gliclazide for years... Annoyed with my 'lack' of support in understanding what the heck's going on with my body lol - also getting...

Thanks Azure - Just feeling a bit off it and tired - I've noticed after many years of poor control and now getting into the insulin driving seat I do have a memory after all now the mind fog from high sugars has lifted :)

With high blood sugars I would check for Keytones too as a precaution

Hi There, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Keytones and what the maximum levels should be? - I just did a random test and although my sugars are 6.2 I'm showing 0.2mmol keytones? Is this normal or something to be worried about? Any help would be appreciated. Additionally, how...

Sounds like you need to get checked out - I was on meds for about 10 years as a 'type 2' and only when I was diagnosed with Retinopathy in my eyes did the medical team start to take note. They'd seen my annual reviews and HBA1C well above average in that time and my own GP failed to act. It...

Cheers guys :) - well; the alternative is pretty long term as they say :D

If I had a pound, for every time I checked, The sugar in my body, n' thinking 'Oh by 'Eck" I test 8 times a day, to make sure I'm in range, Some people stop and stare and think 'that guy's deranged." I don't think they really get it; the blood, the shots, the food? The daily little battle to...

Can anyone help, I'm struggling. Been high for quite some years and then was placed onto insulin, which is great, i'm out of the woods per say....no more 33.3 and HI's on my meter.... HOWEVER :( - If I start going sub 8.0mmol I'm a) feeling like I have zero energy and b) starting to have...

8.3 (again) which I think's slightly high; buuuuuut not the 20's I once bounced into after looking at a cookie :D

We have the "****" cupboard, which I avoid at all costs :D - Fortunately family respect me enough not to offer anymore through the darth vader death stare ;) = Sunk in eventually :)
