Mine was luckily during a half term holiday whilst at college so I spent the week in hospital, they could have kept me in the ward but it was like a prison so I wanted to get out early so I could resume my studies.

lowest was 0.9 and I felt the same as being drunk, but with extra shakiness and sweat, i think 0.5 and below you will start to lose consciousness, your brain does need energy to survive, but it can use other forms that are present in your body like glucose left behind from a high blood glucose...

I will have to wait til its free on the nhs, I can't afford this because of no income, so I will just have to not test until then

Post removed due to the misleading content about the bodies needs for basal insulin.

maybe your ratio of carb to insulin needs changing, at the moment it looks like 10(carbs):1(unit), you could try 15:1 and work your way up

I was only counting the carbs, when you think about it, its all carbs apart from the turkey/chicken/ham, i don't eat meat that much so sometimes I skip the meat and go for the vegetarian option. Excluding the veg like leeks, peas etc.

Whenever I get a headache it is a really painful one and I sort of lose my mind because my brain can't cope, most are just tension headaches or migraines put on from watching TV or looking at the computer screen for extensive periods of time (although I use computer most of the time, I should be...

If you look on the box of these cereals, assuming GI relates to whether it has more or the same sugars as carbs, the ones with evidently no sugar sprinkled on them already suggests they only hold the hidden starch sugar with only a small amount of the fast acting sugar. For example Rice Krispies...

Just think of carbohydrates as poison in large amounts in a short time, but in small amounts good for you. Which is why the FDA have put a limit or cap on the nutritional information for an average healthy person which would be 2000kcal,250g(90g) carbs(sugars), 90g protein etc, for an...

Whenever I have cereal, I have coco pops, frosties or weeto's. But cereal like these have added sugar which would spike sugar levels, as opposed to corn flakes, rice krispies or cheerios which have a more starchy carbohydrate that absorbs slower, personally it makes no difference for me. The...

I'm experiencing what looks like scleroderma which is a condition that affects the skin in the way that it makes it hard, rough textured, discoloured and makes it seem like it's dead. I haven't had a diagnosis of it yet, but it's mostly affected my extremities such as knee, toes and chest and up...

Took vitamin d, d3 and plenty of sun every day, claims that this diet reversed type 1 diabetes, i proved them wrong.

I concur that it will be easy for me once I get a job, but at the moment it is not, because I sort of need a job to build my motivation in general to do things instead of just putting things off like injecting insulin, binge eating, and hoping to win money by gambling with my benefits. Without a...

i eat anything I want, from celery to mars bars, and think I have an average of 7-8% hba1c

my theory will always be artificial sweeteners, although no family history, 2 siblings have it thus far

i'm not picky about what I get from fast food restaurants, I did once get a large pepsi (not diet) from KFC when asked for a pepsi max, though I think they were just being trained to use the tills for the first time as someone else was sort of helping them, as many can mistake pepsi as the same...

This is just to tease people into thinking they can get a pump more easily that the NICE guidelines have changed but they haven't. I cross referenced my answers from the tool with the NICE guidelines and the tool is pretty much a fake, not sure who made it but they must be desperate for people...

If they're not on the list usually it means that particular surgery or your area isnt in the list of nhs funded prescriptions/equipment. Doctor said when I asked for the exact same thing 'if its not on the list, we can't prescribe them to you' but I got them from the hospital in the same borough...

hypertension is nothing new to me, i am exposed to second-smoke every day and as I have read multiple stories about it being just as bad as smoking, I wouldn't be surprised that my blood pressure is above what it should be on a daily basis, but that one occurence where it was high was just due...

I had fast food for a week and it went up to 180/100, which is classed as high blood pressure, it did come down though, obviously I don't go as much now
