I am on my way to 1000 likes. This is a milestone that thrills me to the core. I see that I am fullfilling a goal that has been special to me. I am making myself useful to the diabetic community, and it is a sense of pride I carry with me. I have turned adversity into excellence. This is not an...

Traveling with sharps can differ from country to country, so make sure you do your homework before you travel. Rather safe than sorry. Some prescription drugs can land you in hot water if you are not aware of local laws. In Greece - you can not have paracetamol without a perscription when...

Don't get too involved It is the maths that will disillusion you. Keep a record of your bgl's and track your progress. Below 7.0 is good. Ideally, 4.7 to 7.5 is a desired parameter, but it is difficult to maintain due to many influences. Don't let this consume you - over time, you will learn...

D Don't lose hope. We are here to help.

Don't worry about the gp. You are now in control so be glad.

I am on the same system. Novorapid bolus and Lantus basal. It takes a little time to get used to the injections, but don't worry as it gets easier with time. Remember to carry something like jellybeans or glucose tablets when you are active to avoid hypos. Be regular wit Don't let it worry you...

Definitely glucose tabs. No mess and very effective.

Get a professional opinion, those readings indicate a problem so get it checked immediately.

This is dehydration. You need to increase your fluid intake. Dark coloured urine is a strong indicator of low fluids, so increase your intake with water as opposed to softdrinks. Keep your kidneys flushed to avoid problems.

This morning, around 5:30am, while walking to work I had a very severe hypo. This was scary as I started hallucinating, I started to wonder where I was. I would see a familiar landmark and remember where I was going, then promptly lose my directions again. I noticed that I was weaving and...
