Bg is starting to come down. 16.3 now. I had a thought just now - which never occurred to me. My handbag was put near the radiators ( and I was that cold last night and this morning I had them on) and my pen was in my bag - wonder if it's affected the cartridge that was I there maybe, hence why...

I changed cartridge and checked pens are working. So hopefully they will start to drop soon Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

There's a trace of ketones. So I will keep checking them throughout the night Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I just feel really weird (like I've never felt before - even with highs). It could be a side effect of something I'm taking I guess. I've made sure I've drank lots of water. I did my last correction 3 hours ago. And my bloods are now 23. So about to do some more. I've got bad stomach ache...

Yeah. I have people around me looking out for me. Thanks again x Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I've never experience anything like that before with highs. But I know highs can send u funny. Yeah I deffo did my basal this morning. And I have been doing correction doses, that don't seem to be working. Think I might change the cartridge - see if that makes any difference. Thanks for the...

I woke in the middle of the night with a hypo - woke this morning my blood was 9. I felt a bit blurghhh on waking, but didn't really think anything of it as I often feel like that the morning after a night hypo. My bg then started to raise as the day went on. It's hit 26 now. Whilst I was out...

@Mep I have had what sounds like exactly the Same thing as u for months now. I first thought it was a trapped nerve, but I'm not so sure now. I also work at a desk, song always put it down to that! Think I might ask the doc next time I go Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Lol I always laugh at myself, because I think if people don't believe me when I'm trying to prove I'm diabetic, I will just get my injection pen out and show them the needle. Then they'll believe me [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I have been diabetic since I was 5 (almost 30 years). I've had times where I've. Felt in control of it all, and on the flip side I've had times where I've lost control. It's important to have a good support network. I have two children, aged 10 and 13. I have taught them all about diabeties...

Gosh, I had almost forgotten about the days of having to eat at specific times of the day lol it seems so long ago! I was speaking about the old syringes I used to use when I had to draw the insulin out of the cartridge and mix it together, and use to do only two injections a day. Wow, how...

You know the worst time for me is when you're having a hypo so eating chocolate. And some smart **** says 'you shouldn't be eating that you're a diabetic' Im surprised I've not punched anybody by now for telling me what I can and can't eat Hope you sort it with your auntie @Scottishgal991...

Hi @kendod666 I sometimes get hypo symptoms when bg is on a 5. Usually though, it is if I have had some highs previously. But I have had the feeling without having the highs too. I read somewhere, that. The bg testing kits are just an average , so your bg could in fact be a bit lower than...

Hi @Aambler, I have had diabetes for most of my life. And I still struggle today trying to control it day in and day out. I have good days and feel like I'm on top of it all and yes it's easy, then It slips and I sometimes feel like you do, and get down about it all. So you are deffo not alone...

@PenfoldAPD I cannot like things through the app either, and it doesn't show me any un-read messages or notifications any more. So must be a deffo problem with the app! It's a shame, as the app is so easy to use too. Hope they get it sorted! Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Yes @himtoo [emoji4] my vision is improving every day a little bit more! I'm back at the hospital for follow up post laser on the 4th July. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi @Insulin_Hippo Most of the comments above cover all bases. However, I do understands exactly what you are going through. My dad was terminally ill also for a few years, I ended up visiting him at the hospital everyday - after work, which was a struggle. I missed out meals and I missed out...
