I carry a small bag of plain nuts

Hi Jen, Your story sounds exactly the same as my experience and around the same time except I ended up in hospital at Easter so have a good few weeks under my belt now I haven’t posted a lot in this forum yet but do read most of it and I have to say I’ve found enormous comfort and help on here...

I was diagnosed as type 2 and on metaformin for 3 weeks before ending up in hospital 2 weeks ago with DKA. My BG wasn’t tested at all up until admission into resus. The GP didn’t test it and didn’t advise me too so I have no idea other than I was 24 on admission. Did you have headaches with your...

I left hospital with a small one and was then issued one on prescription with the advice to take my full ones back to the pharmacy, I think my prescription is one a month.

Hi everyone, I’ve done a quick search on headaches and didn’t find much but I apologise if this has come up loads of times. Now been on the insulin for 12 days and levels are really starting to settle but I’m waking up with headaches pretty much every other day or so. My eyes are really bad...

Thanks Ellie, that’s pretty much what the diabetic team said to me in the hospital.

Thank you, saw a brilliant diabetic team and they did suggest that.

Thanks for all your replies. I went to see GP Tuesday and ended up spending 48 hrs in hospital as I had DKA. Now diagnosed as T1 and started insulin. Almost a relief as I thought my symptoms were in my head and already they’re loads better. Here’s to the next stage!

Oh gosh I can’t imagine having to get up that many times it’s generally only once.

Very helpful, thank you. Can I ask, it’s free?!

Thank you so much, I have been thinking about getting a meter.

I’m a veggie so substitute all meat with soya products but do eat plenty of salad and greens

I’m not a big fan of fruit unfortunately

Thank you, this all so helpful x

Thank you so much for all this information, I’m finding it all a bit of a minefield I have to admit!

Thanks

The whole carb thing really confuses me!? I have switched rice and pasta to brown and already ate brown bread. Help?!

Thanks I will.
