    Yesterday my meal for the evening wasn’t much as we hadn’t had our shopping delivered! so it was ham sandwiches, chicken and fries (I know it sounds extremely unhealthy but not much else in the house unfortunately) but I looked up all of the carbs etc really closely and definitely injected the...

    Type 1 Random spike AGAIN!

    Hi all, yesterday I posted about having a random blood spike some hours after eating noodles, my blood rose to 20. After an hour or so of manic exercises, drinking tonnes of water and a correction dose I was back on track and my bloods stayed down over night and all day today have been 6/7/8...

    Type 1 Worrying Blood Spike

    hi all, so earlier today I felt really hungry and injected so that I could eat something (only chicken noodles nothing exciting) and half hour afterwards I checked my bloods and they were 5, a couple hours later before my tea I’m checking them and they’re 20.4?! I tested twice to make sure and...

    Type 1 Strange Hypo Symptoms

    Oh my god that sounds awful! Haha, it’s mad how much hypos make us look and feel crazy, I used to have such a set list of symptoms for hypos but now i never know what to expect, I’ve never been that hypo to experience what you have tho! Hahaha I think we all wish we could go back in...

    Type 1 Strange Hypo Symptoms

    Thank u this has definitely helped! When I’m 4ish I get this urge to stretch which drives me mad, I feel a bit weakish, 3’s is just clammy and sweaty and I usually notice I have little colour in my face at this point, 2’s (I’m in a hypo state right now) and all I feel is very zoned out (time...

    Type 1 Strange Hypo Symptoms

    It’s a nightmare!! It only happens when I’m walking! I was in Barcelona recently and walking I felt almost like I was sucked out of my surroundings (in my mind) then dropped back really abruptly and it makes me jump?! I feel like I sound crazy, I long for the older days of having shakey...

    Type 1 Strange Hypo Symptoms

    Hey! I am on Novorapid fast acting & Lantus background insulin, I get these symptoms when I’m in the low 3’s or 2’s, the lower I get the more scary the symptoms get, like the “time lapse” feeling gets more intense and eventually I feel like I’m not even there! So surreal, but I’m dealing with...

    Sleep pattern is backwards !!

    Hey everybody! How are we all? this isn't really too important, however it's nice to see if anyone else has similar issues! As my diabetes has finally calmed down and is always under 10 now and I'm having much less hypos, I haven't been writing in here so much! Aside from that however I've...

    Hypo or not hypo

    I'm no expert as I'm just controlling my diabetes efficiently, but when I get in the lower 4's I feel just as bad as if I'm in the 2's, and despite what people say I treat it because I can't carry on with my day knowing they'll just keep dropping unless I snack/treat it. Sorry it's not much...

    Type 1 Help! Nerve pain

    Thanks I really hope so, it's starting to bring me down so much. The pain didn't start until I controlled my blood sugars, I thought there'd be more benefits but this is the worst I've ever felt :(

    Blurry eyes

    Hello! :) this is completely normal in regards of diabetes, I've been suffering from awful eye problems for months and for a while I kept insisting I was going blind and it was awful!
