    Blood testing strips, type 1's and the NHS

    I used to barely test to be honest. It was bad of me but I wasn't off the rails or whatever, just used to sit around 7-9 all day every day so just stopped checking it as I could always feel when I hypo'ed anyway. Now, I test frequently 6 times a day roughly. . Had a little scare I guess a few...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    I haven't had my blood taken for a few months now so not sure what it would be at. However, I measure 5-7 times a day, and just checked my machine and it says my 30 day average is 6.1mmol/l so what would that work out as over a 3 month period in terms of the HbA1c. I think I was 55 last time...

    How low do you hypo?

    I used to always feel it when it got near 4 to be honest and always caught it at 3.8 but the last two days I have been 2.9 and not felt it. Makes me worry a little to be honest. Symptoms are the usual ones. Sweaty, confusion, shaky etc. Weirdly the first sign of a hypo for me is that I actually...

    Type 1'stars R Us

    Frustrating few days. Hypo'ed twice yesterday and then hypo'ed again today. The problem is the one last night and then tonight were both in the 2s and I didn't even feel the onset of them. Only realised because I was checking my blood randomly. Tonight's especially frustrating as I had...

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

    Update from this morning. Woke up at 7.30am with 3.8, hypo level, so obviously had to eat, so had some toast and jam for my hypo/breakfast and just didn't take insulin. Went back later and measured at 11am and had rocketed to 11.5 !!! What the hell !! I'm never that high. No idea why this...

    Need to lose weight sensibly

    I've started to lose weight recently too. Lost 12 lbs in the last 9 weeks. Before I was a T1 I could lose 2 lbs a week easily but it's been much more difficult to do that with T1 due to the hypos. My food intake obviously reduced a lot, and that's brought my BG levels down a lot but because I...

    Some Info On The Freestyle Libre If Anyone Knows

    I just looked at the website. It says it isn't measuring blood but fluid near the cells, and that it can be 5 minutes behind. 5 minutes behind isn't great for a hypo is it, so in that case if you were starting to feel low would blood measuring still be best?
