Yes I knew it was a gamble. It was my best friends birthday and I already had to miss out going for cocktails with her as sadly last time I had a cocktail I went up to 25!! So I said let’s get a takeaway instead ... clearly that plan failed :banghead: I feel a bit worried as I’m going away to...

Well today was an experience, woke up to a 16!!! I had a takeaway with a friend last night and tried to eat only a small bit and as I had skipped lunch I thought it would be OK. Obviously not. You can never tell how much sugar or other extra’s they put in the dishes... last night I woke up 3...

Yeah I don’t feel particularly ill but guess I could be coming down this something. I just tested again after doing an hours walk and an hour of housework and back down to 7.3 which I’m glad about! It’s just mad that they go up and down so randomly! Hopefully I can enjoy my evening tonight...

Have no idea what is going on today. After my 12 this morning I went walking for an hour and a bit and now I’m 14 :banghead:. I’m meant to be seeing a friend later for dinner for her birthday and feel worried to eat anything! Gonna skip lunch and try to walk some more in a bit...

12.1 this morning, which is higher than usual. I’m so annoyed by this as last night I increased my insulin after my conversation with the DSN! So frustrated!!! But I’m going to have a nice long walk this morning to burn it off. Then a full day of studying..... Have a nice weekend everyone.

Just remember 12 is still lower to what you normally are. Any progress is progress. Yes it’s still too high, but I struggle with similar levels too (prior to the insulin). I am still struggling with morning levels and never go below 10. I’m not sure of your work situation but i try to keep my...

11.1 this morning ..... doh :banghead:. At least it’s friday though, right? Have a lovely day everyone!

Yes, the walking does seem to help me. Not that I’ve tried doing any hardcore excercise since diagnosis as my consultant has advised not to until I get a correct diagnosis. In work I often tell colleagues I’m going for a mad 10 minutes to get the sugars down and just walk quickly up and down...

My view, as someone who is still awaiting the correct diagnosis of which type of diabetes I am, is that excercise can help me get down my levels quickly. For example sometimes in work my levels will shoot up to 15 and I take that opportunity to walk up and down 10 flights of stairs in work and...

Hey, I was also rushed through but I had 6 exams 3 weeks after diagnosis so I could only go to the doctors at certain times. I’m glad I’m now under care of the diabetes centre rather than my GP. I also had issues with the blood tests not getting to the lab in time which meant having to go back...

My story is a bit weird... Basically I had been feeling dizzy for 3 weeks and the doctors kept telling me that it was stress at work. I ended up going to a and e and when they did my obs they noticed sugar in my urine. When testing with the finger prick my level was 18. A couple of days later...

I am also in the same boat, awaiting correct diagnosis, I am also 26. Don’t get too disheartened, things will get better :). I’ve been finding what I eat is having little impact on my bloods recently. For example I can eat low carb and have high bloods of say 13/14 but then this afternoon I...

An 11.3 this morning - which is unusual as I normally average a 10. Not going to get too wound up about it as I understand I am still awaiting correct diagnosis and correct treatment :)

I don’t think I’ve been happy with my morning readings since diagnosis lol! (as I know they are too high). However it’s not from not trying to get them down. I do take some comfort in knowing that my levels are gradually coming down the longer times goes on (although I still need my correct...

I refer to the receptions at my GP surgeries as bouncers! They can be so rude, even the GP's complain about them! I was recently the subject of an internal investigation at the GP surgery as one of the receptionists told me I couldn't have any testing strips despite being on insulin and also...

Yes I agree, I think my body is just not used to being low (my first HBa1C was 103o_O). I seem to be stuck on 10's in the morning at the moment despite what I eat at night... I'm going to call the nurses and ask to put my insulin up slightly. I have an appointment with consultant on 15th...

Think yesterday’s 7 was a fluke.... back to 10.3 this morning.... :( I have another appointment with my consultant in 3 weeks (which was only booked yesterday). I’m going to speak to the nurses again and ask if I can increase the insulin. Have a lovely day!

Sorry to hear of your health trouble. I understand how frustrating the diagnosis can be. I am only 26 and have a healthy BMI and lifestyle and also have been diagnosed as diabetic (but await to hear what type) so it was a big shock to me. This forum has been a godsend and everyone is so...

Hiya, I was diagnosed in November last year and I am still waiting for the correct diagnosis of what particular type of diabetes I have. It was also a bit of a shock to me as I am only 26 and otherwise very healthy and active with a healthy BMI of 21. The metformin didn’t do too much for me...

Hello, my situation is very similar although I am younger. I had a hba1c in diagnosis of 103. I had the GAD and peptide tests done and they found I have low peptide but no antibodies so now they are confused with whether it is LADY/MODY/T2. Just wanted to let you know the GAD and peptide tests...
