I am Lucky to have excellent support from my DSN and Consultant who is an Endocrinologist. I have recently improved my HBA1C ( still working on reducing further without having hypo's ) My point is that yes I would value sometime a clinical view point, however it goes to show that even the...

Hiya, Do you have any other symptoms? The reason I ask is that hair loss can also be a symptom of thyroid problems. I lost alot of hair when my thyroid was underactive and also more recently when I have been on a too high a dose of thyroxine. Alot of Diabetics also have thyroid problems. May be...

We obviously can't diagnose your son but hope that we can make you less worried, that said, best to be safe than sorry and where children are concerned its best to act quickly and get it checked out asap. Hope he's OK anyway. Lucy xxx

It is most certainly NOT your fault. You are right that there is not enough information about diabetes out there. I am hoping one day we will have some helpful, accurate and proactive information out the about all types of Diabetes. Children can get very poorly quickly and arn't often able to...

I agree with Elaine....My thirst was literaly unquenchable. As soon as I had finished 1 bottle of water I wanted another. Just a cycle of going to the loo and drinking. I had lost weight which was more noticable with clothes sizes and muscle mass. The biggest highlighter was that my vision went...

Hi Defren, Stress most definately can raise BG. Also something else to consider is that you may be fighting something off. This is how it was explained to me........ When we are fighting a virus/bug etc...... our white blood cells need more energy so we produce more sugar. It happens to...

Oh Dragonflye, Bless you hope you and baby are OK and that soon you will be having lovely cuddles. I am aware of the other thread and had posted good wishes for you and your baby. Unfortunately sometimes some people can be very opinionated and critical without hearing the full story. I was...

Hi Elaine, I wasn't aware of that! My Consultant and GP are well aware what pill I take and I have also been advise to take my pill for 4 packs in a row as I am premenopausal and been having major lows with Blood glucose when I have a pill break. Literaly had a job reducing my insulin quickly...

Hi Jess, Glad you are OK!! As others have said most of us on Insulin have made a similar mistake :roll: Really don't know where your GP got the fried egg from :crazy: Lucy xxx

Hi Defren, Hope you do get checked out just to be on safe side :) I used to faint alot when I was younger. I have always had quite low blood pressure and it wouldnt take much to just nudge it under and would faint. I always used to feel exhaused after a faint. I remember making a right fool...

I include butter beans, chick peas and different types of beans to stews/ roasts to help lower the GI of the meal. Any type of pulse will slow down the digestion because of its make up (outer husk etc.) I love butter beans added to roast chicken or lamb with veg stock celery, veg and garlic...

Hi Marie, Dont think thats what they meant by slightly sore arm. I just had a little soreness and actually forgot, then thought "oh that'll be the flu jab!" Sounds like it could be something else! I would get it checked out and I hope it gets better soon, Lucy. xxx

No-one else in my family has diabetes. I was diagnosed T1 6 yrs ago. Mum died at 35 so dont know if she would have gone on to develop T2. Lucy xxx

Oh Jessica sounds horrid :( I have been a T1 for over 6 years and I have never had any abssess, not even before diagnosis. I would imagine having stable sugars wiuld help to prevent but not sure what actualy causes them. Hope you get some more constructive advice soon, Lucy xxx
