    C peptide confusion

    Hello, I now have one of my tests results back (well sort of!). The tests are to ascertain if type 1 or 2. The c peptide came back at 444 but the blood glucose at the time was 13.5. A note was put on it to say that the peptide was low for the blood glucose, so it has been sent to the lab for...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Today is a 10.8 (still trying to be positive as it’s not a 12 or 14). However I didn’t eat any dinner last night so I’m guessing that played a large part in the decreased number.... Matilda in the west end was an amazing show! I would recommend for both children and adults alike. Have a good...

    Hunger and insulin

    I’ve obviously just been doing as the Docs have been telling me. I did just get a letter in the post tonight which says I need to get an appointment to discuss my results. I think the only results I have which are outstanding are the c-peptide and islet ones so hoping it’s about that and then...

    Hunger and insulin

    Thanks for the response. Yes I am trying to get the bloods under control, but it’s so hard when they seem to do whatever they want. They have come down from daily 17/18s though so I have had some improvement - trying to be as positive as possible lol! I’m still eating reduces carbs but...

    Hunger and insulin

    Thanks for your very in-depth response. Yes I have a meter and have been testing. My levels seem to go between 6-14 and the average stats on my meter say I average an 11.4 over the past 2 weeks My levels are fairly erratic and I have sometimes found that actually eating a few more carbs has...

    Hunger and insulin

    Thank you for the response. I may sound silly but what is liraglutide which you refer to? Is that another form of tablet or injection? I haven’t been told about that. My consultant said he didn’t want to put me on any other tablets as he wanted to preserve any working cells which I still have...

    Hunger and insulin

    Sorry thought the information was on my profile. Currently unclear diagnosis, waiting on peptide and islet tests to come back which are due in February. I am also in 2000mg metformin a day. I’ve been put on basal insulin at night as a measure to try to stabilise blood sugars until i have the...

    Hunger and insulin

    Hello all, Ive recently started taking insulin in the evenings before bed (initially 6 units and moved up to 8). I think this is going to be increased shortly to a higher amount after my check up later this week. When I began taking the insulin the DSN told me I needed to eat more carbs to...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    10.1 today. Very happy with this after yesterday’s 14! I went for a long walk after dinner because my bloods had stayed at 14 all day. So think that may have helped. Off to the west end today to see Matilda with my mum and I can’t wait! Have a lovely day everyone.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I managed to get down to 10 which is still too high, but better than 14 so got to be a bit pleased. I had to eat a small bit of breakfast as I needed to take my tablets. L Will walk again at lunch to bring down further.

    I’m hoping I get my insulin doses resolved soon! It’s very encouraging to hear of people getting things sorted in the end :)

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I woke to a horrific 14.1 today and feel incredibly sick. Going for a long walk before work to try to get them down! If they are still high in work, I will walk up and down the stairs (I am on the ground floor of a 10 story building). Hope everyone’s morning is better than mine!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Morning, today yet another 12.1 :(! However I was excited yesterday that I got a 6.5 during the day. I haven’t been this low since I was diagnosed in November. Have a great day all!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    After yesterday’s 10 which I was happy about (which I know seems crazy to be happy about such a high number!). Today I woke up to a 12.8 again :( I did eat slightly more carbs yesterday as I had a meal out so perhaps that effected the reading. Although my DSN had told me to eat a few more...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Woke up on a 10.5 this morning which is the lowest I’ve been since I got diagnosed in the mornings. Perhaps the increased insulin is beginning to work :) - lets hope so.... (I know this is still way too high but got to be happy for some progress!)

    how do i know my pre and post meal numbers are on track ?

    Still unknown as waiting on peptide and islet tests to come back which won’t be until February. Although I’m gearing up for a type 1 diagnosis :)

    how do i know my pre and post meal numbers are on track ?

    12.9 again this morning despite upping my slow release insulin last night to 8 units (after speaking to the DSN)! Oh well tomorrow is another day!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I would love to get a 6 at any time of the day (I don’t go below 8 at the moment). 6 is fine, don’t be disheartened :). Take care of yourself on this difficult day :)

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Today, high yet again at 11.7.... I was disappointed my DSN didn’t call me back yesterday (I was scheduled in for an telephone appointment) will try again today. Have a good day everyone!
