Yeah - try this every night in the hope it might help lol (we can live in hope right)? But so far I've been steaming with olbas oil and eucalyptus, I've used Vicks and everything there is available on the shelves! And i still feel as odd as ever. Think I now feel odd more than I feel normal...

Thanks for all the advice. :) I tried to get in to the docs this morning but was unsuccessful - but will try and get in this week. The disorientated feeling is spot on! It's horrible - because it does feel like a constant hypo. Will see my doc and hopefully they will give me something! Altho...

Yeah, I'm getting the feeling like I need to eat and faint/weak feeling. Glad it's not just me tho! Hope yours goes soon

I've never tried avocado - will have to give it a try! I just feel odd all of the time - I guess it could be something similar to u. I have recently lowered my basal rates as I was getting constant night hypos and really bad erratics. The erratics aren't anywhere near as bad now and the night...

Has anyone else felt like they're always having a hypo? I've felt 'odd' for a couple of weeks now. And I'm not just getting the feeling after high bg. (I know that after long periods of highs u can feel hypo on a normal bg. I get the feeling when my bg is anything between 5 and had it when my...

Hi @Lottebagpipe I joined the forum only recently, and have had the opportunity to speak to some amazing people, and get some sound advice too! I am 35 diagnosed at the age of 5 - so like u, I don't remember life without it. I have had it for 30 years now, and also like u still struggle to...

I have always told people no matter what u will never need to inject me. I will always be capable of doing my own injections. If ever I am unconscious or not with it try getting me to eat sugary foods. (I Try to explain in idiot terms). Someone else on here said they left a note in there purse...

Same here, had it in early childhood-Altho I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to not have it and live a normal life. I don't know what's worse, never having that normal life throughout my teens/twenties. But wanting it so bad. Or having it and then losing it. Catch 22 Sent from my...

I agree that u should call the police for your own safety. I was in an abusive relationship - and was scared for many years not knowing what to do or where to go. Then one night it got silly so I rang 999 because I was scared not only for my own safety but my children's too. The police were so...

Hypo stop is so vile! I have fought off paramedics before who have tried to force feed it to me! Blurghhhh Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Everything that has been said to you isn't important - is very important. Agree with above comment, write a letter of complaint. Make sure u document everything in the letter. And also that you wish to be seen by someone different in future. Maybe she advised not to get pregnant because of the...

It is worrying when in hospital at the lack of knowledge these medical professionals have of diabetes. Esp when they try and force you to take insulin when u have already taken the required dose. It's like we put our life on to the hand of a bunch of muppets. The best I had recently (wasn't in...

I'm seeing DSN again next week - so will chat to her before I make any time changes, and hopefully she will give me the go ahead with the other insulin for trial Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Ahhh that's interesting - I will give that a go from tonight then - see if it does make a difference :) Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Deffo going to give that a try. Plus it's one less injection a day too :) I hate night hypos. I had a really bad experience with one last year - and it's scared me to the point I'm afraid to be on my own whilst sleeping. I used to work away often, and it bothered me so much I won't stay away...

Sorry to sound awful here (it's not meant to come across that way) but I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I am deffo going to do the basal testing. And deffo speak about changing the insulin. I didn't know if changing the time of the night time basal would make much of a difference or not...

I will do some basal testing - I'm currently taking levemir, so will mention to DSN next week about giving tresiba a go as well! Thank u Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Not sure if anyone can help - but I'm getting really frustrated now. So wondered if anyone has suffered similar issues and what they did t rectify it if so. So my BG is often erratic (I have been a diabetic for 30 years). And I try so hard to control it the best I can. I am on basal/bolus...
