Hi Xmas, When you have been running high for so long you're body will think it's going hypo even at a 'normal' level. This will soon even itself out and you will only feel this when you are actually low. As for the vision thing it is normal to be a bit blurry for a little while when your BGs...

I've just started at the gym a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to go as much as i can which seems to only be about 3 times a week. all i do is walk on the treadmill at a reasonable pace and stick a bit of an incline on it. i have to be careful as i have a gammy knee :) so things like...

I have just taken my insulin just now and have noticed that I hold my breath as I do it and I do it every time when I think about it :lol: anyone else have any quirky habits?

Thanks for the advice so far. Tree-Peony.....Do you make the Almond muffins yourself? Claudette, if you ever need some back up just shout, it's a slight comfort that im not the only one that struggles :)

I need some advice on how to low carb properly. I have attempted many a time to go low carb when I am trying to take better care of myself but I only know the basics and I never stick very long which is silly since my numbers show that it's working for me, I just think I have a terrible...

Hi Kerry, I am so so sorry to hear about your loss. I personally have never lost a child but my friend recently has and her story is very similar she was 3 days away from her due date when she too stopped feeling any movement. She isn't a diabetic and your case might not necessarily be due to...

I don't really have a question as such, just utterly fed up today. I was in hospital with DKA last week, stupid own fault because i've been a complete idiot and not been looking after myself....which included eating rubbish and not taking my insuluin, yes that old chestnut. I got out of...

Is there anywhere else that I can prick myself for testing, my fingers need a break as they are hurting and no longer bleed as well unless I turn the pricker up and this just hurts to the point of bruising :( im fed up if it's not one thing its another *sigh*

I'm going to put a spanner in the works and say wait. i have lived with boyfriends and friends before and belive me it's not all plain sailing....as most things aren't in this life. 9 months is certainly no length of time to truly know someone one long enough to move in with them. i know that...

Hi Kayleigh, For starters i'd get your dad to the doc and get them to help, it shouldnt be left to you to try and work out whats happening they should be giving the advice. I'd suggest the pain in his legs and feet are due to the fact that he has high blood sugars for a while now, I've...

Re: Go and get your Flu jabs - Now !! i had the flu last xmas and it was awful but i'd rather go without the jab and let the elderly and those less able to fight it have it instead of me im young enough and healthy enough to cope :)

I have a few tattoos on my neck, shoulder and forearm and i've never had any problems at all with them. i plan to get a diabetic themed one once i have finalised my design. And here's my tattoo i have on my forearm :) i love it!

I tend to find that protein lowers my BG?! Why would this be??

hey thanks for your replies, glad to hear im not just being a big wimp :lol: was thinking i needed to 'man up' a bit but looks like my body is reacting normally. Feeling groggy this morning as I had a hypo in my sleep last night, not been well the last few days and it's like riding the BG...

Hey all, Just wanted to moan a little. Had a hypo yesterday evening, was due mainly to my lack of thought. Was walking from my bus stop up to my boyfriends work, when im on my own I tend to march on and I just totally didnt think to test my levels before i started walking which mean when I got...

Hey, Congratulations!! I am in the same boat, I have recently decided to stop being a complete nut job and just start taking care of myself, I am on week 3, and while I hold my hands up and admit that I am nowhere near to perfect at least I am making the effort and trying whereas that was...

Patch - I totally agree with you there, I have such a craving for sweet stuff after I have something savoury and it drives me mad. I just spoke myself out of getting a chocolate bar out of the vending machine at work and had a jelly instead and I feel surprisingly satisfied!! Lovinglife - You...
