Never heard of this, or any problems with having addition hand baggage for diabetes supplies. Is there any possibility to flight with a different airline? I would have switched airline if possible. Such bad service are outrageos, never heard of anything like this.

I would not recommend to avoid or going down on finger prick tests if you’re on insulin. Unfortunally checking blood sugar IS a major part for keeping good blood sugar values. You don’t say what kind of insulin you use, Do you have rapid-acting, long-acting or both? If you use rapid-acting to...

Well everyone are different. I for once do not feel any different if my blood sugar are 10-14 mmor or 6-7 mmol. I have several times checked my blood sugar, thinking it were low or normal and seen numbers up to 14 mmol. Getting blood sugar over 16 mmol however makes me feel ******, so everyone...

11.1 mmol are the highest peak a non-diabetic could have. Don’t know where people get 5.5 or 7.7 from. In an OGTT blood sugar should be less than 7.8 mmol AFTER two hours. Meaning non diabetics should have blood sugar less than 7.8 mmol 2 hours after last meal of deing. Meaning they would have...

Why would you inject insulin for taking a shower?

What I really hate is how they always must weight me. And everytime I get scared :nailbiting:, because I now I’m little bit overweight, and afraid my weight would end up as an arguement for setting me on some weird diet. :eek: Strange thing, everytime they tell me I have a normal and healthy...

When do you take novorapid? It should be taken 15-30 min before eating, if not you will get a temporary raise. I too get those spikes if I take novorapid right before or right after eating. As long as it goes down, I think it’s pretty normal. Timing of injection are key to good blood sugar...

Well, we are all different, so won’t say it is safe for everyone to just ignore it. Some people have good hypo awareness, and therefor most of the times can tell a real hypo from a fake one. These people should always treat them, and don’t ignore it. But well, not everyone has that ability, me...

I’ve had «fake hypos» with blood sugar above 10, so well, obviously I do not do anything if I get a false hypo when my blood sugar either normal. So what I do, if I get a false hypo, I always check. If it looks fine I do not do anything about it. If I am too off to check my own blood sugar, I...

Well I am not new on here, but it sounds like fun, so why not do it now. - Include a photo here if you wish to. I have, but obviously not of me. - What is your name? On the forum I call myself Emile, but it’s just a pseudonym, and not my real name. - How old are you? In the 20s. - Are you male...

I have to disagree. Getting blood sugar above 7 mmol are normal, everyone gets that. Also a random reading above 7 mmol won’t give any form of diagnose, and by no means a diagnotic start point. Don’t know if you ever talked with a diabetic nurse, or diabetic GP, but my GP told me blood sugar...

Not quiet right, blood sugar should be below 7.8 mmol post prandial for non diabetics: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html And can I ask, what’s the point of always staying below 6.7 mmol? There is no scientificy that says that you improve health by keeping...

Well I check my blood sugar before taking insulin, so I don’t take too much if I’m already low. Then I check my blood sugar again after eating so I can take a correction dose after eating to correct out my blood sugar. If I can, I usually take insulin 20-40 min before eating, but I often end up...

Glad to see I’m not alone, and to see that ratio can change for others too. Was kind of afraid that I did something wrong, but looks like I do just fine. Thanks for all the input here, really appriciated :)

I would not call this a spike. 6.6 mmol are not high, but considered normal and not diabetic. OGTT: Non diabetic - 7.7 mmol or lower after 2 hours. Pre-diabetic - 7.8 mmol to 11.1 mmol after 2 hours. Diabetic - 11.2 mmol or higher after 2 hours. I would not call anythin below 7.8 mmol, which...

After almost a year on insulin, I found out something strange. And thought I ask here, because I am kind of confused. It seems like I can increase my dosage in the evening, of fast acting insulin when eating, without getting a hypo. But if I use same ratio in the morning or start of the day I...

All the friends that «tested» my meter and got «high» values didn’t feel anything unusual. And I think I speak for most diabetic, you do not get diabetic symtoms with only 10-11 mmol in blood sugar, and definitly not anything with just 7-8 mmol. Also sweating are not a symptom of high, but of...

Agree with bulkbiker. We have to give more information if you want advices. Like what kind of diagnosis have, if you had one. And how are your blood sugar levels. Good to know if you want some proper answers :)

No, it is a truly normal respons to food with high GI for non diabetics. I think healthy people with normal blood sugar should stop making an illness out of it, and rather be thankful for having a pancreas and body that manage to keep blood sugar within normal range. To be honest I think it a...
