I had the exact same thing happen to me. It was horrible, blood was 2.3 before bed, I drank half a bottle of lucozade and 1 hour later was 3.2. Drank the rest of the bottle and came up to around 4. I thought it was shoot my sugars up! I didn't have any IOB so was very confused as to what was...

Was just wondering, I was a bit naughty last night and had a whole can of rockstar, the whole can itself was about 69g of carb. I forgot to bolas for it, but my blood sugars were normal in the morning. Is this normal for sugars to rise quickly and drop down after a sugary drink? Thanks :)

No. It's hard to explain , one night I had a hypo, treated it as normal, and felt no better 20 mins later.. It hadnt come up at all so I continued to finish the bottle of lucozade.. And it bought my bloods up to around 8. I thought lucozade was supposed to shoot blood levels up. I had not taken...

Yes I adjusted my basal and now bs are running too high.. But I'm too scared to get them back to normal. Was never scared of hypos until I started having all these unexplained ones - and eating didn't bring them up very much :(

About 3 months ago I was put on the omnipod, to sort out my high blood sugars and it worked. Hba1c came down from 14 to 7!!! It wasn't until I experienced a horrible hypo right before bedtime that wouldn't come back up for an hour (still don't know why it happened) and I had a few more that...

Hi Jess, thanks for your advice :) my basil is correct atm as me and my doctor have sorted it after much testing lol, it's just the diet in general that's a problem for me. I do count carbs yes but I love carbs and feel starving if i go a day without eating pasta/potato/bread. I try and eat a...

I I understand what your saying completely, yes I do count carbs, but struggle to keep the amount I eat in a day low enough. It's also about calories though, as weight gain happens when you eat more calories than your body needs, and with controlled blood sugars, all these calories are...

Does anyone have any advice, just on diabetes in general.. (Type 1) I've been diabetic since I was 11, I'm 18 this august. At the start I had really good control, but as I've gotten older it's getting worse. I seem to have no motivation, even though at the back of my mind I think about the...
