Wow. Was not expecting so much info, just yes or no answers. thanks guys. Gotta love this forum.

Quick question anyone find the suffered with headaches when they started to eat reduced carb diet.

Done. Would be nice for my neice too, she's only 3.

Think I'll stick to 'old money' I'm glad it's not something being phased in. My maths is stretched enough with card counting. Haha.

M I too have had badly controlled diabetes for 7 years since diagnosis, thinking I could do it all on my own with the back up of family and friends. Unfortunately unless you are diabetic yourself it's hard for others to understand all that comes with it, no matter how close they are. Example...

I'm reading other people's BG results on a fb page and some use the other readings. ie 96. Or 140. Is this just American readings or are all machines gonna move to this. And is their a calculation to get this figure from my reading ie. 6.4.

I'm personally more of a cracker fan, so easy to just eat half a pack. And I don't care how much carbs are in them. if I want them I eat them. That's what carb counting is about anyway isn't it. I know it puts you daily carbs up by around 70 a day but it's not all the time.

Had to post because I'm so pleased. BG's have been up the wall for years. Never really had any control. Been doing the carb counting, at aintree hospital liverpool for 3 weeks First week was awful. Everything I thought I knew about nutrition was vague to say the least. Week 3 BG's two...

Thanks all Went to the carb counting course last night and spoke to DSN about split dose, she'd advised me to hold out on changing that for 2-3 weeks as we are adjusting my ratios and she thinks doing on thing at a time is more sensible. (I do agree). My Hb1c was taken last week at the I'm at...

Hi does any one use levimir on a split dose. Wondering if it would help my control I have high bloods in morning if I have dose in morning and high bloods in night if I do dose in night. Seeing my DSN and dietitian tonight at carb counting course so will ask the professionals. But looking to...

Thanks for that. The sites are from basel and are done before bed so not at pool. I'm just baffled as to why it'd happened twice on a couple months, and looking for a reason. Thanks again.

Hi guys. I posted a couple months ago saying I had an infection in a leg injection site, was treated, all good. Now I have another one in other leg, being treated. Everything is usual otherwise, clean needles all the time. The only thing that has changed is I am swimming a lot more. Has...

Thanks debbiiee. I'll have to read that a few times to understand it all. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi over past 3 days I've had hypos late evening for 2 and 3.15am for one. I'm trying to decide what's the possible cause. I've been on antibiotics (claythlimicin, not spelt correct) for 5 days for an infection in an injection site which is now better but still taking antibiotics till Thurs...

Any body ever had an infected injection site in their leg I usually get the odd lump but this one is very pronounced sore to touch red and warm. I think it is but if I wentbthe doc is there anything they can do to help or is it just a matter of it getting better on its own. Sent from the...

I've got an appointment today with my DSN, the start of my road to a pump. Anyone advise on any questions I should be asking. I have a few but I always think of more after appointment when you have time to process the info. Also a few people gave me advice about 10 days ago about low carb...

Not asking. Contemplating. I'm always worried that if BG is already low. 5 or below taking insulin with my meal will mean it falling again. And my job ( cleaning) is pretty active so I have to take that into account for the rest of the afternoon. Yes I always have luco, jelly babies and the...

Proper frustrating. Second hypo of the day and it's not even lunch time. It's timed like this that I would normally think, what's the point and head the nearest chippy for loads of carbs. But not today. I'm taking control. A nice cheese sandwich Hope it helps keep me level for the rest of...
