hi guys this is quite random, but has been bugging me a bit! my sister is in her late 20's and I've seen her a few times in the last few weeks and she is going to the toilet (weeing) almost every ten minutes, which I find insane!! when my bloods were high for a long period of time during my...

Plus I do carb count! But only been accurately carb counting this year also! it's a bumpy ride!!

I have had so much trouble with my eyes, my nurse said because my brain was running on high sugar intake for such a long period of time that as soon as I stopped I would have eyesight issues, I see everything grainy and pixelated it's honestly awful and at first I didn't know what it was which...

9.3 is excellent for me, I did consider that because my bloods are so well controlled now that possibly 9.3 is too high, however I've tested and been 10/11 and felt fine recently too, possibly i think my bloods were dropping because I tested 10 mins later and it was significantly lower than...

Thanks, glad someone else has had issues with high blood sugars! Until this thread I didn't realise 9 was high ish haha I thought it was good, exactly lol this time last year it would have been irregular for my bloods to be below 10! my nurse says I'm not allowed to sleep unless my bloods are...

hi all, I've never experienced this before and probably because my bloods were constantly high until a few months ago when I took back control! but despite the eye and muscle problems, I've been feeling okay diabetes wise, however in the last 4 days I have been constantly feeling like I'm having...

I've never really thought about this, I will keep a closer look out through the night, thank you !

Hey guys, I've posted on this forum a few times but didn't realise there was a section just for sight issues. For a while I've noticed my vision is very grainy, especially in lights that aren't natural, so if a room is lit by a lamp, it's extremely fuzzy, it feels as though I'm watching life...

with me I didn't realise how bad I was damaging my body until my eyesight deteriorated and my legs started to hurt when I walked! both things I am still struggling with now, unfortunately if you're low on self control and will power like me it's difficult to get into a healthy routine until you...

Don't know how much help this will be, but I've been experiencing extreme eye problems for months, everything appears grainy and distorted and has ruined my entire year in so many ways. I was told I had maculopathy too, however they told me that it is easily reversible with good control as...

you're definitely not diabetic, simply because your blood sugar results are very average, they should be between 4.0 and 8.0 realistically, your body is producing insulin to bring your blood sugar levels back down. If you were an undiagnosed diabetic your blood sugars would be dropping to 3's...

This does not sound diabetes related, however high blood sugars can have a very bad effect on any diabetic (especially long term effects!), make sure he tried to stabilise his blood sugars, other than that I am not sure what help I can give you, sorry for such little help, I agree that the...

It's fine I'm enjoying reading, carry on guys!![emoji23][emoji172]

Hi all, this is a very random question but I hadn't heard of this before, apparently it is possible for a pancreas transplant procedure to ultimately eliminate the need of insulin injections, has anyone ever heard of this or know anyone who has experienced a successful transplant?? Blew my mind...

hello again everyone, I'm sorry for my 3rd post in a week, i feel like I am overdoing it but I am worried. after being told my vision issues were because I had brought my overall bloods down from 94 to 62 within 4 months, I suddenly began noticing I was experiencing pins and needles more often...

I know the feeling all too well! I just keep worrying as I feel like my eyes should be getting better by now, maybe the massive drop in overall blood sugar and the maculopathy has merged to make my eyes crazy for a while, I'm hoping this settles soon as seeing lights and everything in grainy...

I was told it's Maculopathy, and that I would need to be seen every 3 months, they were very certain the physical issues would reverse themselves with better control which I have done, it's just the vision problems that seem to persist :(

sorry for posting a question so close to my last question, however, I haven't been drinking for months as I cut it all out so I could tighten my blood glucose levels more, i have been told the best thing to drink is Vodka and a Diet Mixer as there are no carbs? is this true? I have a party...

hey guys, bit of background info, I'm 18 years old and have been diabetic for 13 years, for the most of my teenage years i neglected my blood sugars and was very dependant on energy drinks, sugary food and even smoked a lot. in march of this year I began to notice my eyesight was becoming...

Thank you for this, you're the first person who has confirmed this, so glad I'm not going crazy! My eyes have been deteriorating for about two months since I've brought my control down, some days they feel great and other times not so much! My next concern is muscle pain, I had my first day at...
