Hello All, I was on 2/day of Bovine insulin, and have recently changed to MDI 3/4 a day. The change has been stressful to say the least, much lack of advice, allergic reactions to 2 insulins and a lot of other medical blunders. I feel better but still exhausted from the change. Bloods show...

Hello All, I've recently tried Fiasp and Toujeo and had rare adverse reactions to both, one very rare. Both made me breathless at times, gave me in an odd taste in my mouth, palpitations for the Toujeo. Thought there was something wrong with me until I read both pack inserts after this...

Thanks for that. I always eat some carbs if my sugar is below 8, and this is the first time I went during the night for a whole year. I know what it was, I tested high before bed so took a correctional dose which was clearly too much. Scary times. I just don't want to go onto a pump and am quite...

Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for your kind words. Sorry to read about the paramedics incident and can totally sympathise with you there. My daughter is fab at spotting hypos and can tell if I am low by looking at my eyes,as says they change even though I am talking normally with...

Thanks, Robinredbreast! It's pretty scary. I was doing okay and then had a massive hypo on Tuesday in the early hours (on my birthday of all days!), and that totally freaked me out. Thank you for your kind words! How have you coped? What about when your daughter was much younger?

Thanks for that info. I do need something with an alarm and don't always get get cold sweat hypos, I usually tend to bake : 0. The Dexcom CGM sounded quite useful but I was told you have to wear it all the time. Hmm, not keen on having something on 24/7 and I asked if I could just wear it at...

Hello, I'm a Type 1 on 2-3 injections a day. Am well controlled, and have just had a night time hypo, my first in just over a year. My 18 yr old daughter saved me but is going off to uni in Sept leaving my 9 yr old son. So, how do other single parents cope with night time hypos? I rang...

Re: Can you become immune to insulin? Can hospital mix yr re Hi thanks for your reply. I am testing around 6-8 times a day hence am puzzled by the clinic reading. Also I hardly eat anything, today I could count on one hand, all the things I ate. I am not overweight, live off very little food...

Hello, I have had diabetes for almost 40 years, but of late my usually brill control, has gone out of control, or so it seems??? I have several questions: Firstly, I have hypos quite a lot yet my long range test came back at a shocking 15!!!!!!! I don't believe this right at all. Can the...

Hello, I remember reading an article last year about there being a link between diabetes and O.C.D. (due to the regimented control element), in a copy of the now defunct "Sweet" magazine. Does anyone have the article as I recycled the mag, or any links to where I can get info on the link...

Hello, Has anyone had experience of erratic BMs after giving birth? My son is two now, and my control has never been so erratic. I keep having horrific hypos and it's scary. I've altered my dose, changed insulin and I am still having them. Its just not been the same since he has been born...
