Morning all 5.2 and I'm hungry which is why I'm awake at ridiculous o'clock

I'm pretty sure that's how I want to go. Surrounded by giggling nurses with a smile on my face.

I hope never to lose that sense too. Previously, when poorly controlled, I would feel low in the 6s because my body was used to having high BG. Now better controlled, I feel I'm more aware of hypo and hyper BG at the right levels. Fingers crossed it stays that way! :) I wonder if endorphins...

I'm aware of going low or if I might go low. Not sure if it's a fear for me, these days as it has happened frequently over 3 decades. I'm also happy in the 5s and 6s but can certainly feel anything in the low 4s and under

What a great post. I find it's extremely therapeutic to have a little laugh and perhaps make others smile. Even if it just takes your mind off the stress of managing your condition for a few minutes, it's worth it. Diabetes is work, whatever the type. It causes people to feel a lot of anger...

It's your condition and your choice about who knows. Your colleague has no business announcing that to your workmates. That said, I would have explained how wrong he was and that if anybody wanted to know any details about it they should ask you directly.

All the best :)

Well done with getting into a good range :) I think it's fair to say that having a few hypos per week shouldn't be a concern, if you're talking about manageable hypos that you can treat yourself without blacking out, having a fit or requiring help from another person. I probably have 3 or 4...

How did things go? Did you get to speak to or see the doc? @jade_1990

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Oh boy! I wish I could eat a kebab and go from 5.7 to 6.1 :) I totally understand your worry while you're alone with the little one. See what the doc says tomorrow and hopefully you can get clarification of how much insulin to take, frequency, etc...

Hi there! Welcome to a great forum. I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with T1. At this stage I believe you need intensive support and advice. The good news is that those blood sugars are in a reasonably healthy range, so you don't have run away high sugars right now. As mentioned, that is...

I'm sorry to hear this upsetting news. My advice to you is to take care of your health above and beyond ANYTHING or ANYBODY. People will come and go from your life, sometimes in painful circumstances but don't let that ever damage your health. Test your BG frequently and adjust your insulin as...

Absolutely tragic. Rest well young man.

5.9 - Couple of good days of fasting BG. Average BG throughout the day, though

Eat normally. Monitor your BG. Take glucose with you which they should allow you to have if you need it. And good luck! :)

Hi there. Try not to worry too much at this stage. Eye treatments are as good as they've ever been. I know how concerning it can be to think about complications with your eyes. I've had plenty of issues and I'm not blind. If you're suffering with pain and it's not going away then see your GP...

Eat healthy foods, avoid junk food, move around as much as you can or actively take exercise. Ssssh! Don't tell anybody about my secret diet, though.
