5.8 this morning

I wonder what the control is like of those who claim to be Diabetics versus diabetics ?

I'm a bit of both, Diabetes does stop me doing things liking smoking , binge drinking , binge eating which can only be a good thing. It also motivates me to stay fit ,eat well and exercise regularly. It doesn't define me and I rarely mention it to anyone but I certainly don't live as I did...

Couldn't agree with this more. My blister count must in treble figures by now thanks to my running regime and I've self treated them all. They have all healed within days which I believe is down to my tight BS control. I also had an unpleasant bike crash last year and grazed my hand pretty bad...

:-) Will do , might have stumbled on a new treatment method !

5.1 this morning.

Blood sugars are fine around the 5.5 mmol mark and I've checked 3-4 times since. I bit my tongue whilst cycling earlier this week and that hurt a lot more :-0 Don't fancy using it as regular injection site though

Its quite comical in hindsight. I prepared my pen i.e inserted and unsheathed the needle and selected 2 units. I then pushed back my office chair in order to reach my belly unobstructed. My headphone cable was entangled around the chair arm and the force of the movement pulled my head towards...

You guessed it , due to a headphone cable getting caught in my chair , I have injected bolus into my tongue. I pulled out the needle pretty quickly and only had 2 units selected in the pen. Rather painful and needless to say I will check my bloods over the next hour or so. Quite possibly the...

5.3 this morning.

5.5 , not bad after watching England's shambolic performance last night :-(

Definitely check your BS when you wake up in this state. I always wake up when I have an overnight hypo and rarely get back to sleep :-( Luckily they're not too often. The previous 2 Sunday's I've woken up @ 02:30 ish and not made it back to sleep, no hypo's in these cases so something else is...

5.9 today.

I'm now facing the the prospect of being an illegal immigrant :-) Worrying times, although I've heard the Vienna treaties convention of 1969 might just save my ass !

I disagree with this , I was initially diagnosed as T2 and it was a doddle in comparison to T1. 1 Metformin per day , no injections, no hypo's , healthy eating, low carb and lots of exercise. I was classed as T2 for at least 2 months and was gutted with the T1 diagnosis and when I went onto...

6.2 this morning. Watching England contributed to this :-(

5.4 this morning.

Beside injected insulin the only thing I've noticed to lower my BS, other than strenuous exercise, is sauerkraut. I've tried all the 'alternative approaches' such as cinnamon, resistance starch, fenugreek etc etc which may improve insulin sensitivity in some but didn't work for me. Exercise...
