Lantus pen because i inject it before i get up in the morning. Dextro energy tabs, Coca Cola, Libre reader and phone. Also my glasses because i can't see close up without them.:)

Mine would be in the 20s.

That's amazing, congratulations!

Yes, i had to walk home at lunchtime from my hairdresser because they had closed the bus route. I walked the mile very fast and then went straight with the dogs on a walk. The dog walk was slow because the two are old. I will do the online course, thank you!

Thank you @helensaramay! That's very good advise but i ate the the same carbs as usual. In the evening i'm eating two slices of rye bread with butter and cheese, tomatoes etc because i have my main meal at lunchtime. Bg levels before injecting were 6.5, everything completely as always. I would...

Thanks @Scott-C , that's good to know. The levels are at the moment 9.5 although i haven't eaten anything, just had three coffees with milk.

I have pointed out the hypos to the consultant, she had a look at my Libre history but obliviously wasn't concerned at all. a1c now 6.6 and she even said jokingly "i wouldn't need them anymore." When i still had a DSN at the Royal Free she said, she would want me to stay in the 9s in the...

No, DSN at GP is not an option. GP and DSN were the ones misdiagnosing me for years! I just saw my consultant at the Royal Free, she just asked me what's my secret about the "excellent control" although i do have at least 3-4 hypos every week.

Oh, thanks so much @Knikki! I'm very grateful for your quick answer and feel a lot calmer now because the incident seems to be not so uncommon.:( I'm in London and my hospital is the Royal Free. Will try and call there although i will only get switchboard.

Morning all, Last night i have experienced the most scary hypo since i started insulin. I have noticed during the whole day i needed a bit less insulin. For lunch around 1.30 i took 3 units Novorapid and for dinner at 6pm i took another 3 units. Half an hour later i noticed to my horror levels...

Hi @jonnoras! Since April last year my a1c is around 6.5 which my consultant finds amazing. I had retinopathy a few years ago but the last three years it was gone although my a1c was always between 8-9 back then.

I just had my eye test this week and it showed retinopathy in the left eye although my cholesterol levels have never been high! I was never on statins and my bg control has never been better.:(

Wow, wow, wow! So many congratulations, what an achievement. You are looking great, you must feel like a different person. :)

No, my pharmacy (London) told me they have not heard about any upcoming shortages.

My consultant told me there are 18 different types of diabetes.

Yesterday i came back from my trip and honestly, it didn't go well at all because i got really ill. I could already feel a cold coming on as i was leaving, after a few days in Fuerteventura i suddely had no more voice, got the chills and was horrible depressed too. The glucose levels were hardly...

Yes, instead of balconia like last year :joyful:

Thanks so much for your replies, i do feel better already! I was so anxious, i nearly cancelled the whole trip. @Scott-C, thanks for the very useful tips. I don't drink alcohol at all anymore, so that's one less worry. I will report back after holiday.:)

Hi @ert, I don't think your sensor was reading too high because you hurried so much. I had several sensors like that and i usually never hurry when applying. Thanks and well done for managing well whilst in Cornwall!

On Sunday i'm going on my first holiday since i am doing the whole T1 program. I'm so anxious, stressed and even down, i nearly wish i could stay at home. The diabetic kit is ready to go in the hand luggage, i have everything double or triple backed up. Yesterday i have applied a new Libre...
