    Another advantage to being diabetic, if you break down, the AA get to you a lot quicker!!

    Could I be diabetic?

    Caffeine withdrawal symptoms? Just a thought, but cutting out caffeine wich is fairly high in chocolate can cause horrible symptoms. With those readings, I wouldn't have thought diabetes was the cause.

    Hypos - how do you deal with them & what are the first signs

    My hypo warning symptoms change every so often, they come in 'batches'. After diagnoses and for a few years after, I got the text book, shakes, sweats, hunger etc. Around the time of my pregnancies (1st 3 ended in miscarriage), I lost all hypo warning signs. In hospital, after the first loss...

    Pleurisy

    Thanks for the advice guys, I am seeing the doctor tomorrow. I guess I just felt I needed 'permission' to seek yet another appointment as I live in fear of the 'raised eyebrows' and feeling like a timewaster. Pathetic, I know.

    Snapped lines?

    I use a Medtronic 712. I am 99.9% sure it was the kittens in this case. They had the opportunity and being a kitten is motive enough. Plus it happened in several places, in little groups of 2 splits, all the same width apart - kitten mouth width!! It was a line that was a couple of days...

    Snapped lines?

    I have had my pump for 4 years and today, my line snapped. Never had this before and after last week, definitely didn't need it today. I Han't realised and I got very ill, very quick, it even scared me. I have only just stopped hovering over the 999 button. I have been so sick I have burnt...
