Anywhere from 1-3 a day Monday to Friday, very rarely any on the weekend. I work for UPS right now as delivery driver so I move around and lift a lot which can cause the low blood sugars. Even though I am getting these lows I know about 95% of the time when they're coming and catch it just as...

Had a scope down my throat and they said I had inflammation in my throat and wanted to give me medication. Since it is months later and I have had my blood sugars way lower and under control, I have gotten stomach pain maybe once or twice a month and feel like throwing up the same. Just like...

I went to see the doctor, getting a blood test and fecal test done, and have to schedule an appointment for a stomach specialist down the road, thanks for the advice; will update the outcome here.

Gallstone eh, hmm I'm definitely going to look this up and get familiar with it so I can talk to my GP about it. I wish I could talk to my endocrinologist about it but I only get to see him once every 12 months, twice if i'm lucky! What kind of tests did they do on you to find out?

I don't think type 1 diabetics can get pancreatitis can they? I will try to see my family doctor I just want to be informed and educated to better help them figure out what to do to help me, thank you :)

I have not spoken to a GP. I need first to really have a general idea of what it could be so I can suggest tests or else they will just do a blood test and disregard me. Blood sugars after upon waking are mostly between 10-18 mmol/L and stay between 10-18 mmol/L until about 2PM; onwards of 2PM...

Hey everyone I haven't posted here in a while but I could really use some help / insight! So for months now I've been dealing with something that I have no experience with. Every single morning when I wake up I have this extremely uncomfortable feeling in my stomach that resembles the feeling...

@willabudhabi Thank you for the support; the advice is much appreciated! @Robkww Thank you for the reinforcement and kind words. @azure The motivation is much appreciated and helped give me some strength and will power. To be honest I couldn't give a definitive answer as to what I would...

These cards to which I have been dealt have left me feeling broken, battered and defeated. It feels like I'm trying to climb an impossible hill which grows higher and higher every day. Trapped inside my own head, this forum has been my main outlet of temporary relief of the frustrations us type...

I did not see anything online about insulin resistance from alcohol; I saw increased risk of hypo's. Here's a link that gave me a quick run down on alcohol for diabetics: https://www.diabetes.ca/diabetes-and-you/healthy-living-resources/diet-nutrition/alcohol-diabetes

I've been using toujeo for roughly 5 1/2 months since switching off the pump. Here's just a 2 week example of my fasting numbers on 25 units of toujeo in the evening. 06/01/2017: Fasting is 11.5 mmol/L 05/01/2017: Fasting is 13.0 mmol/L 04/01/2017: Fasting is 10.9 mmol/L 03/01/2017: Fasting is...

I'm not sure I really understand what you're saying to do. If you find the time to dive deeper and break it down for me that would be appreciated, thanks @Paul520785

Hey @Charlottee In my opinion 700 calories is absurdly low. Just to give you an e.g. I am 6'2 and 216 lbs fully capable of eating 3000 calories a day and maintain on that while I can comfortably loose weight at 2500-2600 calories. Now if I'm exercising and drop to lower than 2500 calories I...

Hey @lcarter I've experienced similarities with what you seem to have encountered and can offer some advice, also good job on the weight loss so far. I do have some questions though, only so I can try and help you better! I noticed you said you walk you dog every other day, is there any other...

Thank you @himtoo it seems very resourceful so far. Thank you as well @Snapsy I forgot al about the honeymoon factor but let me tell you if that is the case I pray that it is over; the level of unpredictability is unprecedented to me! It's definitely reassuring though hearing others such as...

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in early April of 2015; My whole life I struggled with food, not what I'm eating but more of feeling like I get nothing from it. Ever since I was little I remember after breakfast every single day, whether I ate 400 calories or 1400, I still didn't feel full...
