Yes the sensation like churching...washing machine spin! Ive also noticed the last week or two that my pee is very yellow even when my bg levels are low. What are the definitive symptoms of dka? Thank you for the replies cos I thought I was starting to lose my marbles!

Question for you all. When your sugar goes high, do you find that your stomach cramps up, you get awful wind and you get the runs? (Yeah I know lovely question but I am getting majorly fed up!) Thanks!

Robbie When I read your post I honestly wanted to give you a big hug! I also went thru a similar experience to yourself but as I was a contract worker I left the job and reported my boss and her colleague to HR. Having pressures put on you at any time is hard but especially when you've just...

Hi there Im on injections and Im wondering what the benefits are of being on the pump over injections? Ying. x

Hi saz_pul I had a read of your post and I did/still have a lot of the symptoms you describe. Especially the throwing up. I went through a year of throwing up in 2005 but didn't havea classic tummy bug to cause it. Eventually I landed in hospital because my body just couldn't cope. Luckily...

:D Hi Just reading about Lantus problems other people are having. What's it all about? Can someone give me some info please as I've been on Lantus since 2004 and a bit worried now! :cry: Thanks!

Kate H You're making me think of romantic France....oui oui...lol I'm going to give the fasting idea a go this weekend and try and work it out. Low carbs and more protein and see how I get on. Im due to see my GP on Monday so I will ask him about the correct doses etc. A lot of people seem to...

Thanks McMittens I'll try! :-)

Thanks alliebee, doesn't matter if you're a newbie or an oldie when it comes to the diabetes. It still manages to annoy!!! Apologies, Daisy1 for the inappropriate word! X

I definitely will! This last week has been a [word removed] nightmare. I've got a cold and upset tummy and of course my sugars are sky high! Having trouble bringing them down too! Sooner they find a cure the better! Thanks everyone :)

Elc, my useless GP was the reason I asked to be referred to the diabetic clinic at the hospital. LoL. I mean I'm overweight and not highly active but I've only been having issues the last couple of months. Usually, everything runs really well (I sound like a car!). I'm still working through my...

According to my doctor when some diabetics go high it can cause diorrhea and bad gas. I've also just been told I have IBS lol. My sugars arent usually high, they're usually fairly normal. It's just been the last couple of months that its going haywire. When I became diabetic I was started on...

I asked my diabetes doctor about this and apparantly the hunger is because even though you're high, you will still be hungry if your stomach is empty/not filled up enough. I've pondered this for many years too! lol. x

I am completely fed up. My sugars are up and down, my abdomen aches from constant cramps and other pleasant things and I have no awareness of my hypos which now means I cant drive! Not to mention the constant chest/mouth ulcer/gum infections I get despite taking a good multivitamin and...

I've been on here a while now but I'll give you my background. I've been a type 1 diabetic since 1996 and I'm 28 now. My last hba1c was 9.9 so my doctor put me on slow release metformin. I started one a day (500 mg) from the 6th July 2011 and I've had some tummy problems. I'm due to start taking...

Paulaah I am so jealous! lol (just kidding). Well done with the hba1c. Ive been a type 1 for 15 years now and I have never gone below 8.1. I think the lowest I've got so far is 9.1. It is a real balancing act to be sure so just keep doing what you're doing and let us know how you get on! Best...

What you have to remember about Diabetes is that there is no "general" blood sugar range that suits every diabetic. If only the so called professionals would remember that! Im a type one but I still get shoe-horned into this perfect little scale. I run a tad higher than the guidelines because...

Ams162, how do you count carbs? This is a new thing for me! X :shock:

LOL @ Clairslloyd :lol:

I think we need "like" buttons for these posts :D They're very funny and I can relate to a lot of them! You know you are a T1 when you order a MacDonalds meal with a DIET coke and get funny looks from the staff. I usually tell them Im watching my figure! :o ....when you put off going for a...
