well thats ok, Thank you. sorry just freaked me out thats all. I've got to drive home at half past five so it had better quit it soon

don't quite know whats happening. i've been sat working and my glucose levels have dropped from 15.6 to 10.6 in the space of about 25 minutes. (they have been hovering about 15 for a couple of days now as a base measure. eg when i get up in the morning i'm delighted to see i'm 15) I have been...

lol yeah 10 units. DUH. i get really confused with all this. Good thing is i appear to be stable today at around 15 even after eating my lovely salad! I'm actually made up. :D happy days! usually my reading head on over 20 after i've eaten lunch but not today!!! OH i'm so excited!

fab, thanks, just wary at the moment as it's all a bit new. still want to go for a dip though. it's all i can see out my window at work, Douglas bay, sunshine, it's torture!!! thanks for your help!

banging headache. Think it is all the rushing around seeing the docs and getting to work. Plus the glorious sunshine over here today, would love to just go jump in the sea and cool down.

Hello, right, as you are aware i don't know what type i am yet. but i take novorapid 10ml with every meal now and Lantus 10ml before bed, (first night tonight, quite excited to see if there is a drop in the morning!!!) Thing is Painkillers? i have read all the stuff and it says ibuprofn is a...

Hi Guys, I wwent this morning (Again) and they have put me on insulin full time now, with no tablets. i also asked about the c- peptide test you guys have mentioned. andno they havn't done one, but they are now. The reason they havn't done one before is the blood has to be sent to the UK...

oh this is so helpful! yes i am seeing a specialist now, the only one on the island. they said i probably wouldn't have to use my insuling over the weekend but i have used it at every meal so far, apart from this morning. thrilling times. i'll see if i can get copies of my blood tests. i...

oh there was something else, they did a Hbc blood test thing i can't remember what it was called. but i asked what it did and they said it measure how much sugar was on my red blood cells?? The reading was 12.1?? the nurse said it was a little high but nothing to worry about seeing what my...

thanks sue. well they still don't know if i am a type 1 or 2 i was trying to ask them my questions but they were all hurrying me in and out of everyone to get everyone seen. They have given me insulin to take before meals but only if my sugar is over 16. they took me off the metformin but...

oh great! I have written those questions down and i will get some answers this morning inculding why they were messing with my neck! and i'll let you know how it goes. Yes the strips i had went really dark purple, bit random but i've got it all written down so i'm gonna be trying to find out...

Hi, i was given metformin straight away and yesterday was given Gliz. and told my my diabetologist that a Lo Carb diet was definatly the way to go. It did surprise me. However i am going back tommorow for a meds change again but hey. but at least on the Isle of Man the one Diabeologist is a...

thanks, the strips i have are for ketones? i don't know. oh it will be fine

well my new medication has done nothing, mainly becuase i only kept it down for two hours. went to the clinic so they could test for ketones and they said it wsa a tummy bug but i know if was those stupid tablets. anyway, glad i'm going back tommorow. they keep testing my blood for ketones...

well hello! I'm feeling rough so this might be little confused. They changed all my tablets, but they saw my reaction when they mentioned giving me insulin yesterday (i wasn't really happy) so they hav given me 2000mg of glocuphage (which makes me feel awful!) and 60mg of another one...

Just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone on this, I have nagged the clinic as suggested and they found my blood reults and i'm going up at half one today for yet more blood tests and ketone tests!!! It's fantastic. Now i'm ready to ask the questions i need to know. I am so relieved that...
