I have only had seizures twice from hypos and both times I was completely unaware of them. My mother observed me having one. Both times I ended waking up in the emergency ward on dextrose drips, I am sorry I can't be of more help. Your symptoms do sound like it perhaps could be a seizure are you...

It may suppress the adrenal and or cortisol response which would in turn suppress hypo warning signs. I smoked pot daily for a long time and I never noticed it had any effect good or bad on hypos myself.

Is he by any chance taking a beta blocker because they can cause very low platelet counts I had to stop taking beta blockers for that reason.

@bobcurly I have the 640g and I get 10 to 14 days out of my enlites by restarting them.

If it stings change it.

I agree with @Zinadane it's an insult offering cheap rubbish to inject with for free. If your going to do this for life then get quality tools for the job.

I find that if you don't use the needles that are right for you then it can really hurt. For example when I use the small four millimeter ones they are like injecting using thin wire and they bend on insertion and sting and leave bruises, so I use the 12mm ones at 29 gauge and I don't feel a...

Pens are fallible also, I always carry normal insulin syringes with me.

Ted as @DunePlodder said the interface is very smooth. You could take this app in many directions, or multiple directions. It has the initial bones of an excellent bolus calculator that could be ised stand alone, ised to control remote bolusing for meters or and or insulin pumps or even digital...

Hey Matty I'd love to be a mate with you. Tells us a bit about yourself and your diagnosis etc if you you dont mind of course. I'm T1 and I absolutley love discussing things with other T1's. It can feel very isolating at times. If you live in Northern Ireland you could probably make friends on...

@dancer I too just today got that email. Carelink Personal now has much of the additional functionality of Professional. I see what you mean about the 'professional' watermark on it now. My CDE was always telling me how 'incredible' I was and I wondered why. I would spend 24 hours extracting...

Thanks Tim (@tim2000s)

@Pammy_50 I think you should take notice of @catapillar 's post it contains very poignant information and some really good advice.

Exhaustion can occur just from high BS for a couple of hours, but not after four days. Ketones could well explain that if they were high enough and you missed a lot of insulin, from experience it doesn't take long to develop when pumping and exhaustion and nausea are early first signs. What did...

For anyone who also has this problem in 2017 due to firefox 52.0 upgrade on macbook, you must download a version of firefox 51 or under, mozilla has stopped support for java in version 52 of firefox browser. You can obtain previous versions of firefox here...

Gee Pammy that's a big load on your plate that your going to need some help with face to face. I can say that the only way to lose weight is expend more energy than your putting in, type 1 doesn't change that. You really really need to be given some help in understanding your condition, your...

Maybe this? http://scarysymptoms.com/2012/01/salty-taste-in-mouth-causes-and/

Yes it was scary but it is fairly uncommon. I was diagnosed with T1 at the age of 4 and my DKA happened after 22 years of T1 ( at age 26). I have now had T1 for 40 years and still have only had DKA once and that was now almost 20 years ago. You are right though in keeping aware of it, the only...

First you start feeling nauseous, then you want to vomit but your breath smells of actual acetone ( acetone is a ketone of the human body ) and it burns your throat ( I remember at the time a nurse stating she could smell the acetone on my breath) then the cramping of all the muscles in your...

I third the advice about heat and summer in general, I require alot less insulin in the summer months.
