Loren, What type of symptoms are we talking about? You would not have had a hypo unless you were Diabetic and taking some type of medication. Any further info you can give will help. Of course you must attend the blood test - it is something that you have to find out whether or not you are...

Strange question, I know, but are you taking Simvastatin?

Jo, It sounds like you are going through a really difficult time. Do you know anyone else who is diabetic? I have in the past suffered from major depressive episodes. I think it would be useful if you could talk to someone with diabetes. Whereabouts are you? Are there any diabetic support...

Violet :wave: , Please try and get yourself a copy of Chris Cheyette and Yello Balolia's book - Carbs & Cals. It is a book which contains photos of most foods with their Carb values. This makes it very easy to see the amounts of food and carb values at a glance. It is also available as an app...

I received my first pump on Monday! 3 1/2 days on - I love it! It is quite a lot of work at the beginning, but I can see how wonderful it will be. It has already changed my life - I can sleep and know that I will not hypo. I feel alot more awake. My advice - ask for one! It is brilliant...

I'm not sure if this is allowed or not, but I understand some Type 2 Diabetics are having difficulty obtaining test strips. I have been changed from my Bayer USB meter to another, but still have 4 x 50 strips that were prescribed for me. Can anybody use them? They are ok until June 2013, have...

Congratulations picklebean - well done - you really should be proud! :clap:

I have not felt hungry for a very long time (many, many years) and it really did not bother me. In the past 5 months my DSN and GP have been nagging me to eat. I have anaemia and apparently they are concerned about malnutrition. But my view is that I am overweight and not hungry. It is very...

I must be really lucky with my Doctor's surgery, I'm T1 but even so my Dr says "I'll prescribe anything for you that will make your life easier, or anything you need.". They have never restricted the number of strips, needles or lancets. If I phone up and ask to see a doctor they always offer...

I used to be on 18 units of Lantus, but never really felt well - I was always tired and felt ill. My morning blood sugars were always very high and advise from my DSN to increase my dose by 2u made me feel even worse. My DSN then put me on CGM for 7 days. The results were that I was hypo from...

Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum Not sure, I have been T1 since 1986 and for the last 15 years my control has been hit and miss. I am super-sensitive to Lantus, so have to run my sugars higher than I would like. My consultant has recommended that I go on a pump as...

Thank you so much for the explainations! I too eat to my meter, just didn't know 'til know that it had a name!

Hello, I have been wondering and searching, but can't find an answer as to the meaning of "Eat to your meter". Please could someone enlighten me? Thanks.

Thank you Dawnmc
