Ok thanks for all the comments. I find it difficult to adjust / change ratios etc so wouldn't know where to start when it comes to having more when unwell. My meter goes into ' random number generator' mode. My fingers are beaten up a bit after having my bm tested every two hours whilst...

Hi, Welcome and admire you for coming on here and doing you best for your boyfriend. When you say his blood is high, how frequently are you testing his sugars and is he not eating between the insulin doses? I have been advised that after a meal along with fast acting insulin including any...

Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of advice if that is ok? I have had a rough few weeks where I was struggling to eat as it was causing nausea and stomach cramps and I was really off my food. I've now started on anti acid medication tablets as I was told I have hiatus hernia , covered in another...

+1 for getting cold hands and feet. I don't notice it myself but others do when shaking hands at work etc. I used to get worried about it as I was concerned about circulation issues in my legs/ feet but my Dr informed me my feet have good pulses. Adrian

Thanks again for the comments and yes a lot fb experimenting to do. Good advice about raising the bed, I was told none of this when I left hospital. Not so keen to hear that it may trouble me for life. It's going to be difficult to get the nhs to operate as being admitted those 4 times in just...

Yes it is a relief and now I can take the steps to reduce the symptoms. I have a restricted diet at the moment as I am a coeliac , which means I don't eat wheat , oats and other gluten containing products. The advice given from the doctor in hospital was to cut out the high acid foods. When...

Hi All, Just thought I would update you on this one. Having spent the last few days in hospital I have finally got a diagnosis for my pain. It took an ultrasound, CT scan and then finally an endoscopy ( mouth end) to find it. I have a hiatus hernia. I'll let you do the googling but it is...

Hi I have recently performed a month or two of night shifts and kept my meal times the same as I normally would over the weekend. I ate breakfast at 6am before going to bed, I ate lunch at 15:00 when I got up and I had dinner around 19:00. My night shifts were quite short which allowed me to do...

Hi all, I am back home having been given some anti acid tablets for my stomach. Not what I was hoping for and I'm not convinced that it's the right thing either but they know best. Mooshk, sorry to hear you had gastroenteritis for so long. What clears it in the end and did the cramps and...

I'm down at the hospital now waiting to be seen, typical the pain eases when I arrive. My dinner time BM was 4.1 and I ate two slices of gluten free bread and boiled eggs. My post dinner +2 hr bm was 5.2. The timings are the same as before. Pain increases in the evening of the day after...

I spoke too soon. Having eaten my dinner 2 1/2 hours ago my stomach is starting to hurt and lots of burping going on. I have a high pain threshold and have only had two days off work in the whole of my working life ( apart from the 4 days with this issue) of 14 years. I had 100% attendance for...

Arh ok thanks Spike. They did give check my full blood count in both occasions (bloods taken to the labs) before being discharge and sorry for confusion but a&e was my starting point for both admissions but was transferred to a ward both times afterwards, first time to medical assessment unit...

Sorry i failed to mention. i already have ceoliac disease since 2005. Regards Adrian

sorry i failed to answer a few of the questions asked previously.. The pain was in the very centre at the top of my abdomen and didn’t spread anywhere else. I haven’t recently lost wait and not considered Crohns and noticed no difference in any bowel activity or eating habits. Prior to...

Hi, Thanks for all the comments again. I have been discharged with no fault found for the stomach pains. I was , on my first admission treated for the early stages of DKA because of the keytones detected but the symptoms reappeared hence my seconds admission. The thing that confuses me, if it...

Don't worry I was happy to read your experience and advice. I am currently still here as an inpatient. Being bounced between amu ( medical assessments) and sau (surgical assessment unit ). No I don't have any bloating only the abdominal pain and when it gets bad the urge to be sick and short...

Sorry forgot to answer your questions yes it does sound sort of similar only have bad no sickness at either end or no temperature. I feel fine when the pains are not present. Adrian I can't offer guaranteed advice but I am certainly willing to share my 30 years T1 experience with others

Thanks for the comments. They have not mentioned why they blame the diabeties I think it's more because they can't find anything else. My thoughts were Gastroparesis or cholecystitis. I'm sorry it went on for you for so long. They are not to keen on me giving my opinion. I just hope that...

Hi all, Just wanted to share my frustration with you. On Friday I started to get sudden onsets of abdominal pain. There were no other symptoms. The pain appeared in waves of around 8 hrs. On Monday night the pain got so intense, I had the urge to be sick and was short of breath. I took myself...

Ok thanks . Yes the morning too which is always my first check with my breakfast. Was interested to hear you say 4 hours after I should check to see if my rations are good and also that I should not correct on a 2hr reading. This is news to me so have been educated and therefore my assumptions...
