I know when i get stressed at work it raises my blood sugar level

For hypo treatment I take one orange fruit juice drink ( the small drinks in cartons, quite cheap as well) these are just the right amount (19gram of carbs) and good for you as well. I also take a small amount of slower acting carbs a few mins later depending when my next meal time was. However...

yes feeling better today. I increased my Toujeo this morning from 19 to 24. I know that is a lot as it takes 3 days to have full affect, but I felt awfull being very high sometimes in the 15s. Control been good today, Still increasing just before evening meal But this will be better tomorow (...

I used the Echo pen for a few years and it was very good. But i did find after about 2 years the pen did not perform as well in fact it did do what Diabelle said. plus my insulin did not always seem the correct amount going in. I got a new pen and it was ok then

unfortunately there is not a lot we can do about our conditions, we just have to make the best we can of it. I am going thro a rough time of it also lately. I am on new insulin and it takes some getting used to. everyone should try to do their best It's often not good decisions, but we must find...

I never had that when i was on Levimer. Though I was using the Echo cartridge pen which can deliver 1/2 units and also records amount and time since injection. I found these to work for about 2 yrs with no trouble. These pens use a screwthread system and yours appear to have a nylon thread...

i have one now, only had it on for a week. In that time I have managed to improve my control, also enabled me to avoid 4 hypos so far. Only hypos I have had is when i forgot to scan for a while. Wish sensors were cheaper, though i have decided to work more hours to pay for them.

this also has been happening to me if I got up a little later in the morning. I think it was my Levimer running out. I am now on Toujeo and so far going quite well. I can get up an hour later and sugar still ok. I also now have a Libre (1st week) been type 1 for 50yrs

I have been type one for 50yrs and still just get basics from nhs. insuling and a blood test meter which i think is the cheapest around. There is new technology out there why can't I have some. As many do... I have just bought a Libre which is fantastic. Stopped me going hypo several times...

I was on Levimer for years and haveing 2 a day. My morning dose was about 16 but my evening was only 6. I found it not to last 24hrs but nearer to 21 hrs. the morning seemed to adjust daytime levels and the evening adjusted the night levels. everyone though is different with different needs...

I have been on toujeo for just a month. I was on Levimer for several years. Strangely i was put on 20 units to start off with but I am now on only 13 once a day in the morning. When i was on levimer i was taking about 23 in 2 doses. We are all different and on different amounts to suit . I do...

just bought a libre and 3days on my control has improved already. They should be half paid for on the nhs as I am now using less blood test strips

signed it. I have purchased one and am in my 3rd day with it. not totally accurate but quite good so far. Sensors expensive though. In only my 3rd day I am looking at graph and avoided a high today due to slight change which this showed. was good during night as a simple scan showed I was low...

hi there just do your best. check blood sugars regularly. A very good course to go on is a DAFNE course. well worth going on. I learnt a lot when I did it 2yrs ago and I have been type 1 for 50yrs.

I agree to that young people get offered a pump without even asking. 50yrs type1

wow 61 yrs is a long time. I have had it for 50yrs. I have been haveing trouble with injection sites lately. So they changed my insulin to Toujeo (300) strengh and humalog(200) strengh. Not quite right yet though. I just bought a Libre which is working really good so far, first day. I might use...

Your eyes might be caused by dry eyes. This was discovered in me by my optemetrist on an eye examination. One symptom of this is watery eyes, apparantly they are the wrong type of fluid. I now have a prescription for some drops. Tiredness though can be in the mind. If it was suddenly warm and a...

very often these day's the pharmacy is in close contact with the GP sugery. You could go to the pharmacy and see if they can help, it would also save the doctors time.

like your comment pseudo bob. I have just oredered the Libre system though i hate to part with the money as I am not on a high wage. Seems wrong to me that I have always worked and paid into the nhs and now I am having trouble I am paying for this system. To continue using it I guess I will have...

I too have badly frozen shoulders and slightly swollen tummy
