Today is a bad day for me. Actually it's probably one of the worst days I've had since I was diagnosed with 3c. New can be scary. If you ever want to talk just ask. I can't promise I can help (but others might) but I think I can at least guess where you're at and how you might feel. It's great...

Welcome to the forum @Conor1974 I understand that it's not quite the way you wanted to start you week but it's early days yet. For example, you have lots to keep you occupied, like updating your profile from "Don't have diabetes". This is a positive and exciting thing! Ok, maybe not exciting...

I didn't say if I believed the number or not. I can't evaluate that because the study is hidden behind a paywall. I said that the study purports to be talking about absolute risk not relative risk Edit: why don't we just get rid of p-values as well? They're abused just as much, if not more...

I don't disagree. But the study refers to absolute risk not relative risk (apparently). It's a metastudy of three RCTs on different doses of Vitamin D. Limitations include: and my own addition: c) It's pay-walled so it cannot be evaluated properly

The place where my DN and also my dietician work have a lot of different services. So I booked in for a smoking cessation consultation. I just got a text message: "Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx after your gym session on 27th February there will be a short smoking cessation session" (emphasis mine) Gym...

I've had two rants on here. Rant away. Weirdly it helps not only the ranter but it can also help the readers. I hope you feel better soon. And, yes, see the doctor about the wee. Maybe/probably nothing since you don't have accompanying pain but better safe than sorry. Since October when I was...

@EllieM I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve either now. It occurred to me when I overcompensated the other night that I was feeling different even before checking the libre or contour (but not high enough to set off an alarm because I was still in the "acceptable" range my DN has given me...

Well it's also strange because people report sleepiness. On reflection, I sometimes do as well I think, but more normally I feel the complete opposite (agitated and unable to sleep)

Yeah I'm looking for immediate symptoms more than things that take awhile to show. My original post might be confused/confusing because I originallyl thought that those I listed came up pretty much straight away but after more reading today I've realised that many may take days or weeks to...

Why are we talking about relative risk when the paper the video is referencing talks about uses absolute risk?

You can't eat that! :o

I've removed from my original list. I think that's more pancreatitis than BSL related. Although I've read the abdominal pain can be a symptom and misdiagnosed as pancreatitis so I might add it back using different words when I'm on my main computer

Developing awareness is one of the reasons I was thinking about this yesterday. I'm starting to feel hypos but not quite there yet. Feeling if I'm high I think would be useful. I went to 11.4 after breakfast today and didn't feel a thing, but the BSL dropped back to 5 fairly quickly (less than...

Several people have mentioned tiredness/sleepiness. I didn't think of that! I experienced that as well but thought it was just because of all the other stuff going on, but it seems like it's a symptom by itself. Nice (well, the tiredness is not nice but the list getting more complete is nice).

I thought I'd share my experience of highs, that's all

I'm not "blaming" the hospitals. I just can't find a lot on on untreated diabates. If my description helps just one person I'll be happy

Pity I had to go to THREE hospitals to get diagnosed. I mean even without the other symptoms the BSL should have been a clue. But, no.

The more I think about it the more I think that the urination is homeostatis trying to get rid of excess glucose. I don't know and will research tomorrow. I think that highs are not talked about enough though

I've searched the forums and can't really find what really high blood sugar feels like so I thought I'd share. I'm only 9.7 at the moment but I will share what I experienced at 27 mmol/L in case it helps someone. I've modified the form of this post to try and separate immediate symptoms from...

I'm still buying the new phone
