I take mine to the hospital where they dispose of it for me

For the first time in 27 years of having D I had this when I phoned for my last results, I just said well my nurse told me to phone for my results and I do need to know them so.... And I was (reluctantly) given them. Hope you get sorted!

That's what I do :)

It's good that you are calm @Elc1112 :) I hope everything goes well for you and you have your baba in your arms very soon! Hope you've got a book/magazine to help pass time xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

My advice would just be to test lots, I tend to get lower readings in the heat but some get higher ones so as you say we're all different. I hope you have a lovely holiday Paphos is so beautiful! Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will be able to find some new info on here that you maybe weren't aware of about diabetes. Could you tell us what kind of meals you eat on a typical day? Your BMI? Also what other medication you are on, these things will just provide us with a bit...

Have you only been diabetic for 2 years or is it the last 2 years your control has gone a bit haywire? Depending on what insulin regime you are on you can snack/have takeaways etc if you count carbs and give insulin for them? Do you test your bg often? Raspberries & strawberries don't alter...

Hi @Wigantaz you definitely can still go out running, it's about finding what works for you, testing before hand and taking bg meter and some hypo treatments out with you is best, I don't run myself but I'm sure others that do can give you more tips, I'd say your post would get more response...

Hi, when you say you've recently started having sugar again had you completely cut out all sugar from your diet before this? If so and now you've started to have it again have you adjusted your insulin to cover the sugar/carbs? Sweets and sugary drinks are absolutely jam packed with sugar, i...

Hi em, I'll tag @daisy1 who will give you some great info to have a read of. I can't advise on you being type 2 as I'm type 1 but plenty of other members will be along soon so ask any questions you have :) Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi @Joy0524 have you tried checking her sugar while she is sleeping? That's what my mam did when I was first diagnosed aged 3 and It didn't often wake me. Is she in the honeymoon period still? How have her bgs been so far? Does she have supper or anything before bed? Sent from my iPhone...

Try not to worry @Loulou52 it may drag out a bit but will pass on a flash, or it did for me! Being realistic is good, I went in the thurs & baby arrived the sat, I'm unaware of anyone on here that has had their baby arrive same day but you never know lol Hope you've got everything you need to...

Agreed! as pointed out above, as long as insulin is given to cover the cake why not have that indulgence? Fair enough dont eat a whole cake but I wouldn't deprive her of it. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Yeyyy @ArtemisBow congratulations!! I was starting to get worried about you when you hadn't posted but understand you've been busy with your gorgeous little angel! Well done on getting through the induction & labour & avoiding the section! :) hope you're both well xx Sent from my iPhone...

Why have you not take insulin for a year? Have you not needed to? When you decided to take 4 units did you test your bg first? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi @samd194 could you maybe try placing your bg machine & injections near to either where you sit to eat or where you will see them when preparing food to help trigger your mind to do it? You could then hopefully fall into the routine before each meal. As you may be aware it's best to have...
