Are those readings all fasting readings? Bg needs to be done before food & after to see how it affects you. None of us can 'confirm' you are diabetic, you would need to see a doctor for that :) Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi, could it be possible you've an infection of any kind? This can raise bg. I'd recommend getting checked out by your doc/speak to your dsn as you don't want higher numbers like that to carry on. You say you've upped your night time insulin, is that your basal you have with your evening meal or...

Sorry just realised you say you've started insulin, to feel more filled up you could have a small slice of bread with whatever you decide to have, I buy the 'no crusts' kingsmill wholemeal 400g loaf and it's 7.5g of carbs per slice so depending on how it would spike you, you could have a slice...

Hi @AJack123 if there is something you eat for dinner/tea that doesn't spike you and you fancy it for breakfast, eat that, don't think if only being able to have breakfast items if that makes sense. I'm not type 2 I'm type1 but when I want a low carb breakfast I go for an omelette with...

Hi, when you checked bg today and had the 15.2 was that before food? If not, what had you eaten? Obviously the strips being out of date will have made it less accurate but the doc's test of 13 won't have been wrong. The 'wobbly' feeling you get will be a false hypo as your bg is likely to be...

Absolute pain the in the back side when it happens but luckily it doesn't happen often and as long as bg's keep being monitored it's soon spotted Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi, I suffer from anxiety and currently am not on any medication, when I was I didn't find it affected my bg much, although I wasn't on the same tablet as you. Have you tried speaking to your diabetes team? They may have had this issue with other patients and have a solution. Personally I would...

Hi, yes you want to be counting the total carbs, ignore the 'of which sugars' Are you testing your bg? I'll tag @daisy1 to provide you with some more info :) Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

You shouldn't have had to stop doing what you normally do just because of getting a pump @lely have you tried using a temp basal rate for exercise? Personally i love slimming world, there is a common misconception that you stuff yourself with carbs on the diet but you obviously tailor it to...

Sweating during the night can also be down to low bg, are you testing through the night to see what's happening with bg? Also it could be something not related to diabetes xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Just in case people haven't realised! Yeyyyyy!! Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Ah @Finley02 I started to struggled around then too, like @1Sarah1 has said injecting earlier does work wonders My rates are way more now than what they used to be so testing and adjusting constantly - which I'm sure you are doing - is best. Xxx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hormones do affect bg levels yes so that is a possibility. Basal testing is checking your back ground insulin is correct on its own so that you know your bolus is working with the food you're eating, I'll tag @noblehead and @himtoo to see if one of them will post you the link explaining it...

Hi, sorry to hear this, how old is your son? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

As well as the questions above, has this been happening for a day or two or are you talking weeks? Have you tested for ketones? Checking basal & that pens are ok etc is things you can do now but I would also be speaking to your diabetes team ASAP as that's a lot of insulin to be having so...
