Glad to hear things have settled down a bit.

Good morning everyone. My glucose levels right now was 5.9. I have an appointment with my health care team today. My dietitian, and then my diabetes nurse. Haven't seen either for a while, so it will be nice to touch base with them.

6..4 this morning. Hope all is well with everyone.

You'll perk up.

Just applied my 2nd sensor as you suggested. It was so easy, now I just have to wait til Monday to activate it.

Glad you feel better.

Totally agree. I can be completely confounding. I've had times after particular meals when I'm sure it will be up, and visa versa.

Good morning everyone. My fasting glucose is 6.1. How's everyone doing? Another cold morning here.

My current sensor is almost at the end of its life spam, so I will be replacing it with a new one. I've been told that if you apply the new sensor about a day ahead of removing the old one, and leaving it for 24 hours before activating helps to make sure the sensor is reading correctly upon...

Even if you see it coming it is a shock. I was overwhelmed too when I was first diagnosed back in September. I just thought I'd be unable to cope. But somehow I've managed to do okay since then. Taking charge of this illness was something that seemed to help me. Checking my glucose levels...

I've been really lucky. I have nice, smart doctors. My family doctor is nice, and well regarded. I was told he was a good doctor by one of the nurses who was looking after me when I was in the hospital. Also, my endocrinologist is really nice. She new to the city, and young. My neurologist...

Good morning all, my BG this morning was 6.6. It is freakishly cold out right now here -13c. I think I stay in today, and cozy up. I have a few things to take care of, but they can wait until Monday. How's everyone' s day been so far?

Big cities like that are fun to visit, and I totally get the sense of nostalgia. I love that there is so much humanity around. I really like being a part of it. But I won't want to deal with the traffic, the constant construction, and the expense either.

It isn't always cold, though today is particularly frigid out. In the summer it is quite nice. It is such a big country, I've barely seen any of it myself. Haven't visited Ottawa, the capital, once. I also haven't been out west. One of my dream trips is to drive out west to Vancouver, than...

You can have seizures if your blood sugar goes really low. Diabetes and s the underlying cause of so many problems. I didn't have any seizures until 1st year University. It may have been stress related. I have only had a handful. But it was enough to get me on meds.

While I was in the hospital I met my endocrinologist. She was one of the doctors on call. She was able to see, and evaluate me there. She also agreed to take me on as a patient, which helped expedite my follow up appoint with her. She is the nicest doctor I have met. She recommended the...

I was lucky to find this forum so soon after diagnosis. I was in the hospital hospital with very high blood sugar about 2 months ago. When I came out I was lost, and scared. I'm working really hard to get things under control because I don't want to be sick like that again. I love chatting...

Hello from a fellow Canadian. Nice to meet you. You've managed to stay up beat through all this. I'm newly diagnosed, and hearing from people like you is heartening. I love this forum, it has so much information and the people are really nice as well. Cheers.

I live in North Bay, Ontario, Canada which is about three hours north of Toronto. I'm about five hours behind most of you in the U.K. Population of North Bay is 50k approximately. I turned, 44 last Tuesday. I feel older this year because of whatI went through health wise. But still up beat...

I have epilepsy which I've been managing seizure free for almost fifteen years. I've been seeing the same neurologist every year for years now. How this was my first time seeing her as a diabetic. I have some weakness in my legs, which was present prior to going into the hospital. I actually...
