Yes, I experienced this a lot in the last month or so whilst I was honeymooning... I don't know if thats just co-incidental, but did experience it too x

Hahaha.... Think I've had most of these already, and I'm "new"...! :D - my 'favourites' have been; ....whilst I was eating a handful of almonds (to be low carb): "should you be eating those - they have a lot of calories in" - whilst looking me up and down. ... "have you been enjoying...

@Jaylee - also a really good idea - you lot are superstars, thank you! :-) x

@jack412 - that's a really good point.... I don't know why I assumed it was a diabetic coma from a hypo that happened in her sleep?! Reading it again it doesn't say that at all.... I think cos thats what I'm super fearful of, that's what I read - how weird. It doean't actually say at all whether...

Thanks so much for all your lovely replies. They mean lots to me - as I said this is brand new and possibly just slightly unfortunate timing - but I'm *really* grateful for all your reassurances / words of support. I've been staying with a friend since I started the insulin on the weekend - but...

Thanks @Robinredbreast :-) .... here's the article that was in my newsfeed.... I've since realised there are collection buckets all over the small town where I live; which is lovely - but also a steady reminder :-/ I don't know why she had a hypo; but it does definitely sound like that's what...

Thanks @simonkit & @Kathryn321 - I do know it's probably a slightly 'how long is a piece of string' question re the risks, but I so really appreciate your reassurances nonetheless x @diamondnostril - that's really interesting....I have read a bit about ketogenic diets and in fact kept myself in...

Thanks Kathryn - yea, that's exactly where I'm at right now - I haven't slept properly since starting (it's super early days though - not even a week yet) and am waking up and testing two times a night at least... which is silly cos I know worrying won't help! Even more ironically, cos I've been...

Thank you Indiana x I'm literally on my fourth day of insulin injections - so it's all very brand new to me.... so far I've not had any hypos, but they've started me on a very low dose as I said I was freaked out about living by myself and scared of having hypos and noone being there.... so...

@Telgreen thank you! I've seen a few people mention about figuring out what their rate is by having a no carb day.... is that literally you have a day with no carbs and no fast acting so you can figure out how much lantus/long acting you need? Presumably I'd have to do a few days to figure out...

Hi @Lisbet - poss a silly question - but how do you know it definitely peaked...? Is it cos you'd drop 9hrs after taking it? :)

Hi there, Feeling a bit freaked as a girl in my small town just recently died. She was type 1 and had a nighttime hypo and went into a coma that they couldn't get her out of... I didn't know her, but I guess cos she was the same age as me and lived so nearby it's just really playing on my...

Really interesting replies - thank you! :) .... like all things diabetes related; it seems we all have different ways of managing / responses - and so to some degree it needs to be a bit trial and error.... I took it at 11am; but it was my very first ever time of taking it so obviously way too...

Oh I interesting thanks - so you think you peak around 22-24hrs after taking it...? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi there So, I've just got my insulin yesterday - novo rapid and lantus.... obvs trying to work it all out - quick q; the nurse was a bit vague about when to take the lantus and in the end says it doesn't really matter when I take it, so long as its the same time each day... I was thinking if...

Hey @ConradJ - this is *exactly* how I wake feel most mornings... I swear I feel more like I've been out on the lash now than I did when I used to actually stay out all night partying! :s ... I'm not sure what you're saying this hungover feeling suggests though...? Does this suggest my body...

Good advice thanks @noblehead - been meaning to check my iron for ages so could also be that... Thanks for the reassurances and thoughts on why I could be so tired - much appreciated! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Soooooo tired at the mo.... really struggling today and need a little light at the end of the tunnel - will insulin help me feel less exhausted all the time...? Hba1c taken today; results Friday, t-14 days till I see the endocrinologist.... blood sugars pretty much permanently between 9-12 at...

Ah - thanks @phoenix - makes more sense! Yes.... I think it's because he was saying I can't inject to bring my no's back down that I need to be especially careful; and now you mention it, I'm sure he did link it in with the risk of DKA... Which leads me to another point you may or may not be...

Following as now super confused; my endocrinologist and the nutritionist for type 1's told me *not* to exercise if higher.... he said around 6 or 7 is the perfect starting point and that if I was above 10, not to exercise as it will just push my numbers higher.... which I have to say has been my...
