Thanks so much Scotteric! That's how i see it as well and i will get there. At the moment i'm taking rather less Novorapid just in case.

Hi Diakat, Yesterday was the highest 13 and now, three hours after breakfast they are at 7. That's super, i have just used 3 units of Novorapid, what a difference to the weeks before.

Yesterday i have called the nurses office at the Royal Free. After half an hour a nurse called back, told me to get off the Novorapid and gave me an appointment in two weeks time. I told her i will be in very high numbers until then. She just said that is still safer as having hypos after...

That makes perfect sense. Thanks so much Scott-C. I will experiment a lot from now on. I admire all of you who are managing this illness so well. For some reason i still believed my LADA wouldn't progress.. Best wishes.

Thank you, i will try to call them tomorrow. I have taken only 2 units today.

Thanks Diakat, No, the nurse didn't give me anything but i thought 40 carbs means i have to use 4 units? I could call the nurse although i only have a number to call at the hospital nurses office, i always see a different nurse. The same happened today, i just had a reading of 3.3 and that...

Hi All, Hope you're doing well this weekend. I got so much information from this forum although i don't post that often. I have started injecting Novorapid on Friday and the only information i have is from the internet, specially this forum. The nurse in the hospital just said, she wants to see...

Well, my father had the same type of diabetes like i have. Back in the eighties they called it juvenile diabetes, so T1. He also developed it in his late forties, just like me. He died of another, not diabetic related illness a few years later. Moderator edit to remove belittling comment

Thanks for the reminder. Will watch on the iPlayer later tonight because i have to attend a work meeting this evening.

I'm living with this terrible pain as well. 10 days ago i have started taking 600mg lipoic acid. It has lowered sugar levels straightaway but no pain relief yet. I believe i have heard it takes about six weeks to work?

Just wanted to say good luck @delmcp, hope all goes well.:)

I will watch that too.

I am suffering from neuropathy really badly and had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, ulna nerve in the elbow was trapped as well and last not least had spinal surgery twice. The outside of my left leg is totally numb, both legs feel on the shins like i have too tight compression stockings...

Hi @Aaron187, welcome to the forum! I still don't know which type of diabetes i've got after over six years but i do hope your doctors find out quicker. :) All the best.

I've had spinal surgery on two levels twice and all went well. Due to the morphin before the surgeries i was never hungry and so the bg's were low although a1c at operation last year nearly 9.:wideyed:

Hiya @mist, What an amazing cat, beautiful! A few years ago i had a ginger cat too:

Hi Wayne @mist, I hope you are feeling a bit better today! I just saw your thread and your signature. You are saying you survived alcohol and other drugs. That on it's own is amazing and i'm sure you are aware of the pitiful small percentage of people who make it. I'm myself an alcoholic, i...

Same here, i have stopped taking Amitriptyline last year as well and found them doing - absolutely nothing for nerve pain.

All kind of steroids just send my BG sky rocketing high, a few month back i had some injections in the spine. It had a horrendous effect on the sugar levels and wasn't even helping with the pain. Vitamin D i have to take anyway. I'm so much hoping light therapy will help.

Thank you John, my diabetic doctor in the Royal Free has referred me now to another skin clinic as Prof. Bunker in Mortimer Market has discharged me. The light treatment is my big hope! I was reading the condition 'just disappears' by about 20% of patients and i hope i'm one of them. :-)
