hi guys, I’m sorry for sounding like a broken record, however the pain and ridiculousness of my situation are increasing simultaneously.. the pain in my feet is beyond unbearable now, it’s all I think about day and night, I am becoming very depressed and my gradual inactivity has led to a huge...

Ah that makes a lot of sense actually! Don’t worry, I had to adjust my insulin when in Barcelona, I deffo learnt my lesson with that one [emoji23] It sure does need investigating but I can’t seem to get appointments unfortunately :(

****, I didn’t realise aspirin affects vision! I wish you all the best with that, my maculopathy isn’t progressive enough to need any treatment etc, so I was stunned to find I had all these leg and feet problems because the eye problems are relatively minor! I don’t know what’s going on but I...

mild maculopathy so not quite retinopathy, yeah agreed, it isn’t helping anyhow.. just feeling very trapped, I hate being indoors but my feet are constantly hurting at the moment :(

The aspirin was not prescribed my doctor, but I felt so desperate I wanted to try it and see if it made a difference as it supposedly helps blood flow, yet I’ve noticed no difference. I’m going to try, unfortunately it’s very difficult to get appointments with doctors nowadays! it’s deffo not a...

hi all, I’m still having foot pain unfortunately. the blood doesn’t seem to be getting to my feet the way it should be, my arms tire very easily now told as well as the constant cramps in my legs & thighs, as a teenager this is really frustrating because I can’t walk far without getting tired...

hi guys, I’m not entirely sure what to do! I usually do my Lantus at about 11pm, it’s the middle of the night and my blood sugars are normal .. but I don’t really have any recollection of doing my Lantus, but I’m also not entirely sure I haven’t done it either! I’m so used to doing it, I have...

After looking online I do think it might be varicose veins!![emoji27]

hi everyone I haven’t posted in a while, in general my bloods have been very good in the past few months and I haven’t had hardly any high blood sugars! (Can’t avoid the odd one of course) but in the past couple of weeks, I keep getting really raised veins in my feet and bottom of my legs, if I...

Well i had thought that, but the only thing I’m eating that is remotely carby is skinny fries, and I keep doing like extra doses because I am paranoid that I’m not injecting enough, 22 just seems crazy high to me !! I might try some different foods for my evening meal and see how that affects...

I do my Lantus at about 11/12 each night and I eat at about 5ish, but I test my bloods around 7 and they’re fine so I don’t think it’s that I’m having too many carbs for my evening meal! I’m puzzled, I have wondered if I could be having a hypo when I’m going to sleep and that’s why they’ve...

I drink cherry Pepsi Max and Tea with sweetener instead of sugar! Works well for me ☻

hello all, I have the strangest problem at the moment, due to my bizarre sleeping pattern I’m starting to take naps in the evening. so I sleep from about 7pm - 10pm, my blood sugars (for example) were about 5.0 before I went to sleep tonight and I woke up to bloods of 22! Whenever I sleep, my...

Yeah I agree completely, having chronic fatigue has made me take a step back and therefore I’ve been quite inactive For a few months, although this probably hasn’t done wonders for my circulation, I think it has helped me regularly monitor my bloods so I’m thankful in a sense!! I hope that...

there have definitely been times without pain, there are times I don’t even notice it and my vision has days where it feels good again now! but I’m definitely still having days where I feel like there isn’t any circulation in my arms/legs, it’s more Irritating than anything, for about a week...

I haven’t come across this either, thank u for your help! I was also wondering if you knew of any medications that can make the pain of nerve damage go away, I feel that with my bloods under control this will help massively but I’m still getting pains in my arms and legs that come back every so...

Thankyou for this, it has helped tremendously and I will absolutely be looking into this!!

so as I’ve said before, I have had poor control over my blood glucose throughout adolescence and I have nobody to blame but myself for this, in the past 8 months I have gotten my blood glucose much more under control, and although I still have spikes in my sugar they are nowhere near as common...

hi all, I hope everyone has had a wonderful christmas (if you celebrate it) and have a fantastic Boxing Day. Christmas is the day of the year where I’m less focused on my bloods and more focused on my family and gifts etc, well yesterday I had wonderful bloods all day! Despite eating like a...

Finally down to 8.6 now!! thank you, I’m feeling a little better already so should be all good by then, Merry Christmas!!![emoji169]
