Thankyou! :) when I was a younger teenager my body just ran on high blood sugar, I have no idea how I didn’t have DKA at all, it amazes me how much my body has been through and how it has coped, I am terrified of getting high sugars now! They have come down from 23 to 14 within 2 hours so it’s...

Only paracetamol, it’s mainly just my throat that’s causing the problems, which has made my mouth swell and giving me toothache also[emoji22]

Forgive me, I meant I start seeing a small response after an hour, naturally they’re not fine within the hour, finding it hard to concentrate with this illness

Hi all, I’ll try to make this as short as I can. I’m very worried, the past week or so, my blood sugars have been all over the place.. I’ve had fairly decent control these past few weeks, but now I’m going from hypo to high in no time! It seems every time I go to sleep, whether just for an...

This made my day hearing from someone who has worked in this speciality, thank you for easing my mind, needed to read this today ! x

We’re all the same! I’ve been begging for answers about eyesight loss in this forum too, I’ve had some awful problems with my eyes this year, they were so bad I was convinced I’d be blind by now. Coincidentally (not!), I’d been neglecting my blood sugars for at least a year because I was going...

when I had awful leg pains/arm pain/general fatigue I had lots of tests done (and expected the usual diabetic diagnosis of lack of Vit B12) but was surprised to hear I had a Vit D deficiency which was causing, I believe some of these issues, I also started taking magnesium supplements which have...

Deffo worth going to A&E, don’t risk having ketones!

I have been to an opticians, who gave me glasses and believed I was straining my eyes, but they didn’t help at all, I tried for weeks but everything was still grainy & pixelated, they looked in my eyes and said everything looked normal, I went to a diabetic eye screening and they said there were...

Hi, when I wake up my vision is absolutely awful, after about ten minutes it restores to as normal as it gets but it’s still not good through the whole day, I can see everything fine in daylight, but in darker areas everything is grainy/pixelated/fuzzy and it’s really scaring me, also when I...

Thank you, this is really assuring, my bloods were running high for so long, they’re still not perfect but are almost always under 10 now, I have bad days now and then but really trying hard. I get pain in my legs when walking etc too, although when I was taking Vitamin D supplements this...

hi all, I hope everyone is well. I’ve posted in here before, but I really need someone’s advice/reassurance. since I stopped drinking crazy sugar drinks, wine, smoking etc which were really damaging my health (I was very ignorant towards my diabetes as a teen and now dearly regret it), my...

I haven’t I will look now, I’m not very educated on all this stuff as I’ve never had this issue before :(

Today was 2.9 !!

I also wouldn’t be too concerned with having a reading of 9, I think as far as I’m aware this is quite normal after eating a meal? I may be wrong, I have never been too worried about having a 9 after eating :)

Hi all, I’ve been T1 since I was 5, I’m now 19. Recently I’ve been getting hypos after I eat my meals, which is really bizarre for me, tonight I just ate chicken with fries and just a sandwich, which I know isn’t too healthy but my nurse said if I injected for the carbs it’s not an issue and it...

I personally have never been to a GP/hospital and through my teenage years I was constantly high (neglected my bloods because I was very stupid and am suffering consequences now, trust me) I still get bloods now and then that are in 20’s if I’ve done something wrong, ate something high in sugar...

Thank you I was thinking of doing the same! I’m just worried I’m running high and feel as though I don’t want to eat anything!

hi all sorry to ask this question, I’m panicking as I have run out of testing strips !! last week we put a prescription through and I overestimated the amount of strips I had, anyway today I realised I had my last one and went straight to the chemist to be told there’s been no order and I had my...

hi all, the title basically explains this, but since April this year I’ve really tightened my blood glucose and am proud of how I’m doing, unfortunately I don’t trust myself going out for long periods just yet, I’m 19 and have always had very muscular legs, but recently I’ve noticed my legs are...
