I have had a discussion about this with my nurse, and are trying to sort it. However, if i reduce the morning insulin, it tends to spike after breakfast and then drop after lunch. Hopefully it will all be sorted in a couple of months when i move onto a pump!

I am on yard duries at college, so am doing exercise. However, even if i use my exercise function with lunch, which is -50% it still sometimes happens, even if I don't do as much exercise as expected.

Thank you all for the feedback! I have currently found not much of a difference in levels than usual.

Thanks you, im only on codeine when i need to take it when my back hurts. I usually take it twice during the day, each tablet is only 30mg. I only had one hypo today, but that was the one i usually have on a Wednesday!

I went to the doctors today, due to having a bad back. I have strained muscles and paracetamol and ibroprofen don't help, so have ben prescribed these. Has anyone else used either or these 2 medications while being type 1? Just wondering if they do actually cause an effect on blood glucose...

Im 17 and have been diagnosed 9 months. I am currently learning to drive, and have 2hour lessons and am insured to go out in my dads car. My nurse has told me the importance of being 5 of above to drive and have a snack if below. I am yet to have been hypo before driving, but will wait before...

I often have 1 a day, or every couple of days.

This was exactly the same as me in January. It was the first time i had been unwell since diagnosis. I went to the college nurse who said it would be okay, come back tomorrow if its worse(which it was) so i went back. She sent me straight to the doctors. The doctor prescribed me a mouth spray...

Okay thank you, i am awful with hay, cut grass and the rapeseed pollen. Those are the worst, but some other pollen also affects me. Think i need to speak to my DSN and try over the counter medication. If this doesn't work i may go to the doctors.

My DSN told me to ring straight away if i had forgotten my long acting insulin, but would usually be told to just take half the amount, so 30u for you.

Haha thank you. I will try get a doctors appointment to see what they recommend then.

Hi, I'm 17 and was only diagnosed last August so is my first summer as a diabetic. Over the past couple of days my hayfever has started to get really bad, and sugar levels have increased I currently don't take any medication for it. What would anyone suggest? Does hayfever usually increase sugar...

I went from 9.6 to 3.7 today in 1 hour

I have only been once, but my DSN told me to put everything in my hand luggage. I also had a travel letter wrote out, and gave this into the security people with my glucose meter as it can not go through the x ray machine. They will just swab it and give it back to you with the letter.

Oh really okay. I will try to explain but it will probably be the same!

Thank you. I will ask her in my driving lesson tonight!

Okay thank you for the help![emoji4]

Hi, i have just booked my driving theory test. I have read that you are not allowed to take any electronic items in and have read about the girl who was kicked out for taking a glucose meter in. So, i was wondering if to be able to take one in you need to ask in advance, or will it be okay to...

Okay thanks, i know its not easy, nothing will be!

Thank you, i think i will if i can! And due to the exercise i do it will work better with it being more flexible. And also with changing the basal rates with exercise, which my DSN mentioned today with injections, but it seems a lot harder than it looks with a pump.
