Oh yes, thank you for pointing that out. I'm new to all of this so it is quite confusing. They had 2 charts in the hospital, the one with the 46 and under as good and then some higher numbers going up and then another chart with 6.0 being in the green area and then a few more numbers lol.

Thank you! I was very surprised by my results. I was told it was the best they had seen in months from someone :)

Very proud of myself, today I went to the hospital and they were 5.6. 3 months ago they were 109!

Just had it done an hour ago (my second one since diagnosis) and it was 5.6. My first was one was 109. Best they've seen in months :)

Same for me too! When I was diagnosed and my blood sugars were around 30 and my ketones had risen to 6, I didn't feel sick or anything. I felt normal which confused the doctors lol.

@Amy993 dread to think what it could've gone to, glad you recognised it though! :)

Oh but hypos are also a blessing if they aren't too bad! I can have a cheeky snack without insulin ;) I'll keep a record on how I feel from now on, should help me more! :)

@himtoo no I havent, but I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for my second HbA1c thing so I'll just ask if what I'm feeling is normal :) @db89 I haven't been diagnosed long to recognise what I feel when going hyper :(

I guess so but even since day 1, my first hypo didn't make me feel weak, just cold and shaky like any other time lol

I've just been told that I could be getting mine next week! I'm getting the omnipod :) Also I've never heard of the cellnovo but looks pretty good too!

@db89 2.2 just feels the same as something around 3 for me, and I'm not even entirely sure why it doesn't affect me as bad as other people :nailbiting:

That's the same as me @catapillar, I only have a weird feeling. Other than that, I'm fine and I've never felt weak or anything @fletchweb that's awful, I'd hate to feel powerless over myself! :(

Ah, I'm better now thank you haha! How do we get so low without dropping into a coma?!

Mine right now is 2.2 - a new record lol (Treating it by gulping gallons of lucozade down and scoffing a load of jaffa cakes, nom nom)

Thank you guys! :) I went to the restaurant and ended up balling my eyes out. I guess the reality smacked me in the face.

Thank you @azure :)

108 when I was first diagnosed. Got my second one next week and I've been in excellent control so hopefully it should be below 90 I reckon.

Haven't stayed in target without dropping too low in ages! Had a cheeky McDonald's at 12ish. I don't expect it to last long though considering I'm going to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet lol. (sisters bday)

Good morning/afternoon, everybody :) After seeing what impact diabetes had on my life and after a long post I had written on Facebook about living with Type 1 Diabetes, my mum's friend has decided that she wants to swim a whole 22 miles in order to raise money for Diabetes UK. It would be...

If you used to drink a lot of juice or fruity drinks, you could try sugar free Vimto, Ribena (I had this today, mmm), Oasis (did not know this existed until I saw some small boy drinking it!). Just check that there's not many carbohydrates in it. If you miss your fizzy drinks, try: Diet Coke...
