Hi CarbsRock, thank you. Why don't I have symptoms, though? No painful or burning pee. No kidney pain. After nearly 3wks of crazy Bgs & then protein showing up 2wks ago, surely I would have got something. It also mentions, though, about inflammation somewhere in the urinary tract, which could...

Hi, I started a thread here couple of weeks ago about issues I was having with carb counting (sincere aplogies to those who replied to me further in that thread for not responding & thanking you for your input. I did read your comments, so thank you). Anyway, the carb counting (which was...

Hi, thanks for the replies, everyone :thumbup: It really has just been getting more ridiculous the past few days. I'm going to have to give DSN a ring. Just going stupidly high after meals. I'm now not even carb-counting so much as doing my old thing of guessing the amount of insulin to take...

Nope, don't appear to be coming down with anything & not pre-menstrual (was actually pre-menstrual during the week I had great control while CC). I'm not going massively high, but just ridiculously high given what I've eaten & injected. Then I could have the exact same meal a few days later &...

Hi, just wanted to ask the carb-counters out there a question. I recently completed a CC course (not DAFNE but very similar run by my diabetes centre) and the first week that I treid CC properly for the first time it was brilliant. I had really good BG readings & managed to incorporate...

You know, another thing, I'm just wondering if he's ever had a blood test to see what his cortisol levels are like. I've been having frequent random hypos for a while and on my last appt with my DSN they found my cortisol levels are pretty low. I have to go for a synacthen test next week. So, I...

My goodness, that sounds miserable way to do it :(

Hi there, you were on the high side to begin with, so that probably accounts for part of the reason you went so high 2hrs later. What bread did you toast and how many rounds? If I'm having bread I stick to Burgen which is about 12g carb per slice. Check the carbs in the bread you're having...

Thanks Jillybean & Jen :) Yeah feeling a lot better today. I gave my DSN a quick ring in regards to this (as ketones did their re-appearing act again this morning), she wasn't in but I spoke to lovely male nurse who said this was totally normal and harmless considering I'd not been well. And...

Hi, thanks, yeah I will do that tonight. First pee of the morning is always neg but then next one has acquired the ketones. Still, they didn't last long today. Had a little sleep this savvy and have felt a lot better this evening. Still have that extra day off work though, just to make sure I'm...

Cugila - Morning Bg was 6.6. Really haven't had too much of a problem with levels. They've only hit double figure once (11.1) & I maneged to get them back down very quickly. Jen, thank you. The annoying thing is that they are actually going.. but then coming back. Just tested 10mins ago and...

Hi, thanks. Same thing has happened this morning. After I posted yesterday, they vanished within a couple of hours and I felt a lot better, they remained neg for the rest of the day. Now, tested first pee of the morning - neg; but within an hour started to feel really lethargic, tested and...

Hi there, thanks. TBH, my carb intake has been what it would normally be. I have a moderate carb intake and it's stayed the same while I've been ill. I do appear to have lost a couple of lbs, though. I'm a skinny so & so at the best of times and can do without that. My calorie intake has been...

Hi, wonder if anyone had some advice here. I've been pretty sick this week with a very bad cold. Worst day was Wed, really high temp, very unwell. However, my BG has generally been OK & has not got into double figures. I got a new box of ketostix on Thurs, tested and they were ++ (0.4 -...

Hi, I've been on Novamix 30 for over 2.5yrs & I've always done the; <inject> breakfast... lunch... <inject> dinner/tea... supper. I've never deviated by skipping anything or having the meals to early /late just because I've just never wanted to botch things up unnecessarily. Obviously, these...

I agree, it's very confusing. Recently when applying for a college course, the application asked if I considered myself disabled - yes/no. It then listed specific disabilities which included, "Other Medical Conditions (i.e. asthma, epilepsy diabetes, etc)". I mentioned to the admin officer that...

Jopar - I saw a new endo at my annual review who, while exceptionally thorough, I do wonder if she was being somewhat over-zealous in sending me for this test. The reason she is getting me tested is due to hypos but I feel it's the the 2xday shots that is causing my somewhat topsy-turvy control...

Thank you, Mindii. Started both courses & I'm already loving them :D The aroma tutor gave me a letter to give to my GP & he filled it in no probs. He put that he "didn't know of any medical study/research, etc, into why [I] couldn't receive an aromatherpay treatment." Tutor was happy with...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I guess I'm just going to have to get on with it. They have booked me the earliest appt. at 8.15am, so I'm likely to be without insulin & food for about 3hrs. Jopar - when I enquired about this at the clinic were I'm having it done, the guy who deals with the...

Hi! I have to go for a synacthen test in a couple of weeks & didn't realise until I phoned up today to confirm the time I had to be at the clinic that I can't take my insulin beforehand. They told me I could have my breakfast but to not take any insulin with it, I have to bring it with me &...
