At first I was stressed and didn't want to work at all, I just wanted to stay home and hide with been type 1. Iv actually worked all the way through covid, Iv probably had alot less days off than I normally would. Like now I'm working Monday to Friday plus extra jobs at the weekend. I'm a...

I get restless legs if my bloods stay above 11-12 for a while. Its a nightmare at bed time when you want to relax. I'd read somewhere that with your bloods been higher your nerves are more sensitive so tingling or pins and needles type of thing is common, they tend to go when bloods go back to...

I agree on that. Diabetes is a nightmare at times I generally don't have issues at all but having one the other week which I put down to a really hard bike ride and then Iv had yesterday. Even today I had a couple of muffins for breakfast and had half the insulin I'd normally have and Iv gone...

I have been type 1 since October last year, before that I was been seen as type 2 but they said I'd be type 1 but until certain things happened they didn't want to confirm type 1 Yeah normally I don't eat like that, we have been eating healthy lately. Id normally have maybe 2-3 hash browns with...

A few weeks back I had a bad hypo and seemed to have resolved that as why I had it after been on the bike all day but yesterday takes the visit for me I woke as normal bloods around 6.3 I went to work as normal and got on with it, had a carrot cake bar on the way. Mid morning checked my bloods...

I started the sensors back in March just before lockdown when I requested it due to my job and my cycling. I'd never had any issues on the first 5-6 sensors but then I had 3 out of 4 bad ones. 1 just didn't last more than a day 1 the sensor wouldn't pick up that it was attached after the hour...

Thanks. I love cycling and I am in prep for doing the way of the roses coast to coast in September after it got cancelled in March. Its part of my fundraising for the Bradley Lowery foundation I generally don't go at it so hard like I did yesterday, if I'm alone I normally just relax and take...

Iv seen people say they can differ during the day as they are on trisiba. Is it not worth while finding out if going onto something like levemire might be better? With it been twice a day I think you have more flexibility with when you have your rapid insulin Iv got the opposite problem at the...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Some good stuff to take a look at and use future reference I don't tend to hammer it round a route like I did yesterday but as I was out with a friend we pushed it. If I do 50+ miles alone I generally take it a little easier so never had the issues before It's...

That might be why I found even this morning after having muffins for breakfast and a slice of toast I had a hypo coming on. I'd only had 3 shots this morning for that Iv just had dinner so took a couple less for dinner so will see what it's like in an hour to 3 hours Like you say just keep...

Never thought of it that way. Possible the extra work has done that and just made my bloods low over night Could have been during the day when I can control it easier [emoji23]

I don't tend to get overnight hypos, I maybe dip into the 3s slightly but not for long but last night was awful. Il start with my day as I believe this has caused it. I woke yesterday morning at 7.30 to go out on the bike at 8.30. I had my morning levemir minus a couple of shots with going out...

I agree on that. Normal bloods just go back to normal with food whereas ours don't with it been an injection. I was always told on Dafne to not test bloods for a couple of hours after food as you will always get highs due to the food going in but insulin not starting straight away. Once it...

One of my good mates had it. Working in a factory a few got it and were off. They slated the company on Facebook and the company had to take some action so shut down and had 2 weeks cleaning and all staff tested. He tested positive but has never had any symptoms at all. Shows you can get it and...

Iv never stopped working right through 'Self Isolation' March to now must have been the busiest Iv ever been as a bathroom fitter and Iv still got months worth of work booked in. It has been crazy but not been at the footy 3-4 times a week Iv saved loads aswell 'Self Isolation' has definitely...

Hypos can differ from person to person or even just yourself I tend to have different types of hypos, il have one which my BS levels drop slowly and I go into the 3s but feel fine until I get to a point maybe high 2s My other is just a rapid drop. Maybe too much insulin and not enough carbs to...

Sound like mine tbh. Iv got bad blood circulation. My feet are always cold and often look purple, same with my hands if I pop outside they go white. Possibly reynaurds but Iv never got round to getting it checked out

Ouch. That's alot 24. It's not good knowing you have to eat to cover it, especially if you arent hungry Iv taken my morning levemir and about half an hour later really panicked that I'd actually taken my quick acting by mistake. Had to really watch my bloods for a couple of hours but...

They can be variable on bg levels. If you feel its wrong double check with a finger prick. People have said when you go below 4 they can be bad with readings The app is perfect to look and and work out your patterns and when you need to look at things. It's also good for what your levels do...

Novomix is awful. You don't get any control with it at all so you will notice a difference straight away with that. I was on Novomix for 3 months and my morning readings were always OK but night time reading were always high If you want to get good control then the Dafne course is good for it...
