Hi I've been going for all my diabetic reviews, since being diagnosed 10 yrs ago, at the diabetes centre at my local hospital. Usually seeing a different consultant each time, or if I'm luckier, the consultant nurse who is excellent. It's very rare I ever need to see or contact the clinic...

Hi, yes, you are right about this, but when it rises to above 37C , I can feel it in the sense that my head/face feels overly hot and stuffy but my torso is a little cold. It may be like this for a 2-3hrs then settles back down again.

Thank you.

Hi, I'me recently getting over a cold that started showing signs exactly 2 weeks ago. Felt mildly sniffly for the first couple of days, felt rather groggy the third day, then by the fourth day I was wiped out and never left the couch. Typical cold symptoms and they did hit me hard. BG was...

Thank you very much for you reply Pleinster. I really appreciate your time and sharing of knowledge :) I guess I was concerned as my clinic have made me a follow up appt to "discuss" this issue. So, this made me think that some plan of action needed to be put in place and that medication was...

Bluetit, this is a printout of the consultant's report sent to my doctor. I'm not sure I can get my hands on anything else. It just says creatinine. Thanks for the response nonetheless.

Ah, I've no idea, I'm afraid. It's just the results from my blood tests and urine sample. ETA - OK, I think it's blood. Just found a reference table for blood tests related to kidneys and it gives a range using the same measurements of umol/l

Hi, I have received a letter today for a follow up appt from my recent annual review last month. The appt is for September and it is discuss my increased ACR. Wondered if anyone experienced with kidney issues could offer any input? Background - Female, UK, non-smoker/drinker. - Dx Type aged 30...

Thanks for the replies. Like a few others I was getting a bit befuddled by the ranges I was reading from various sources online. What you have posted Geoff, definitely makes things clearer. Does anyone have experience taking this Calcichew D3 that I have been prescribed? Don't know what...

Hi Geoff, I'm in the UK.

Hi, wondered if anyone knew much about Vitamin D? I asked to be tested at my last appt almost 6 weeks ago. Just phoned my consultant's secretary as I was sent a treatment guidle=line in the post but no further details on my blood result. She said a letter is on the way but in the meantime read...

Well, pleased to report a return to normal levels today. So, I can only assume it was the cartridge to blame. Weird, because when I went to bed after I'd put in a new levemir cartridge, it dawned on me that the reason I was getting nothing from the air shots was because when took the cartridge...

So, I took a correction dose of 3u with my lunch today given I'd gone up to 16.3. I tested 3hrs after lunch at 4.30pm and I was 7.9, but then I tested again 2hrs later before my dinner and I'd risen to 14! Interestingly, Catapillar, you mentioned by the Levemir pen. I took the cartridge out...

Thank you, yes she did mention pilates. I do some light yoga as i really like the feeling of being stretched, it feels such a relief on the muscles, etc. Not tried pilates, but just found out that there is class that runs about 10 mins from me :)

Nope, nothing unusual going on. That's what is really puzzling me. Although, illness, such as colds/bugs never really spike me all that much. No hypos prior to spikes either.

Thank you. Yes went to doctor as I actually thought I might have had acid-reflux, but she was edging to musculoskeletal. She listened to my heart and lungs which sounded fine, but she said because I'm tall and thin I'm having a naturally tendency to stoop my shoulders and cave my chest. She...

Hello, wondered if anyone could cast their eye over these numbers and offer an opinion or two :) Insulin Levemir - A split dose of 4.5u before bed (10.00-10.30pm) and another dose of 4u at the same time in the morning. Novorapid - Ratios between 1:7 and 1:8 OK, for the last four days I've...

Hello, just hoped for some opinions by anyone who can either relate or has any knowledge about what I'm describing. (Female, age 39 and Type 1 for 9yrs with no other related conditions) So, about 6 months ago, when I was doing some light yoga, I noticed that when rotating my left shoulder, I...

All of my bolus shots tend to be split doses, so including my basal (which is also split) then I'm injecting about 8 times per day.

I work with students at a college and this kind of behavior from a tutor would be highly unacceptable.
