I've been on Metformin for 11 years. Slow Release tablets since 2017. The squash that I have is the robinsons fruit creations, which have 0 or low sugar. I try to vary what i eat for dinner, but due to a limited budget it's not that great and normally consists of either a piece of meat with...

I've just had my evening meal 4 hours ago that's consisted off some scrambled eggs, diced chorizo and mozzarella with 2 glasses of squash and a can of diet coke. I'm not sure how or why my blood sugar has risen to the 20's. I'm just starting to get into the habit of regular testing after being...

Woke up literally shaking this morning, blood sugar was at 6.4. Phoned up my GP to get an appointment, where they've now sent me to go somewhere else to be seen and I've still got the pain in my gut, made worse now by having some breakfast.

Good news, finally back on Tresiba. Bad news, went up hospital yesterday again after vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pains at work. The hospital still have no clue on what's causing it, even after some blood tests and a CT scan turned up empty. So they've sent me back home, still in pain with...

Blood sugar down to 7.1 at 10:30am, so I had a hash brown and a hot chicken wrap for breakfast at work, once the butty van came.

I've finally got a prescription of 150 testing strips after being taken up to A&E with hyperglycaemia and not being able to stay awake last Wednesday afternoon. I'm still experiencing high blood sugars of 27 this morning, but it's pointless asking for help at the hospital as by the time that...

I had some eggs and bacon topped with cheese last night for my tea and my blood sugar before that meal was 12.3. Woke up this morning at 6:30am and got to work without any breakfast. Had a call with the hospital doctor just now, who is getting me some more test strips prescribed and a urgent...

I know they do. My podiatrist was the one who told me about my hba1c and was straight on the phone to my doctors. I'm still waiting to be seen a Urologist and a Lymphedema clinic, but I keep on getting push backed appointments. I was also expected to go for a MRI scan on a early Sunday morning...

I take 48 units of Novorapid and 80 units of Lantus (previously Tresiba). Got told by my DN that Lantus and Tresiba are pretty much the same thing.

I don't. All I can do is ring up my DN and wait for a voicemail or callback. I'm also waiting on a callback tomorrow from my GP to discuss my blood test results and hba1c.

That is is mmol/L and the hospital don't care as I don't present any ketones in my blood. Last time I went up the hospital with high blood sugar was 2-3 weeks ago and they let me go home even though my blood sugars were +18 and ran out of Tresiba. Going up the hospital is a waste of time and...

I don't know what is acceptable to me. My blood sugar this morning was 24.9 and I tested again tonight and my blood sugar is at 15.4. I am only able to test twice a day on a weekday and once a day on a weekend, due to only being prescribed 50 test strips a month. I'm on a limited budget and...

Fixed dosage. Novorapid 48 (B), 44 (L), 42 (E). Lantus 80 units

I measured it out today at 61 grams. Measured it to 30 grams a serving and didn't look enough, so I added in more, until it looked more appropriate

My blood sugars are in the high teens/low twenties. My last Hba1c is 143 mmol. I was able to cut out breakfast whilst on Ozempic or Victoza, but since both are out of stock, I've found myself eating and snacking more since being off them in September. I had bran flakes recommended to me by...

I'm currently trying a bowl of bran flakes for breakfast as they seem to be lowish in carbs.

I've been struggling with finding a suitable breakfast to have, as today I've had a actimel yoghurt drink at 8:30am and at work 2 bacon rashers, 2 sausages, 2 eggs and cheese just now. I'm on insulin and test my blood sugars twice a day. I normally have weetabix or other type of breakfast...

I'm on Lantus now. Not sure if I need to take the same amount, like I did with Tresiba?

I had my Hba1c results today after having it done on Friday. Not from my GP, but from my podiatry appointment this morning. It's 144.

I've tried that and got no luck. Just that it will be in stock from January 2024. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/professionals/tresiba-flextouch-shortage-2023
