You're right that I started the glucose immediately (before I even posted that post if I rememeber correctly) and yes I took too much again (I had jelly beans as well after I was above 6 because they take longer to work than the gel, and I had way too much last time this happened as well. I need...

I'm ok now. I'm eating toast with honey My lantus/glargline is as low as the DN wants me on glargine/lantus. When I was in hospital, few weeks ago, I was on zero units. Also zero novorapid but I wasn't eating either except for clear broth, diet lemonade and the drip in my arm (hartmann's...

It's going to go down again isn't it? This glucose doesn't last long. Bread

Yes. I had it at 9:15 instead of 9:00PM but that should not have made a difference I don't think Edit: BSL just went straight down. I have no explanation, but there was blood which is not normal so maybe muscle? It's ok now 5.1 (so probably the same as 4.9). But #%#&*% that's a fast drop. At...

I'm not going to hospital again. The cleaning staff know my name! This is embarrasing

4.9. Maybe I hit a muscle with the big needle because there are no 4-6 mm needles available in AU at the moment

2.2

having glucoddr tubes. If this doesn't work I will ring ambulance. I won't give up up but I feel like gibing up

I done nothing different today from any other day and yet I drop from 7.6 to 2.3 in 30 minutes. (finger prick confirmed). I just want to cry

2.3

I've had enough. Giving up

Welcome to the forums @LynsK Being newly diagnosed myself (end of October last year) I can understand you feeling overwhelmed, shocked and confused. I was. I still am. I don't know what the 87 means. This page may help: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html When you say 11/15 blood...

That sounds nice, I'll give that a go for sure

Breakfast: Mushrooms, bacon, eggs Lunch: KFC zinger burger (I don't know if zinger burger is a worldwide thing but it's a spicy version of the chicken). I didn't eat the bun so I guess I really had crumbed chicken breast with mayo and a few pieces of limp lettuce sticking to the mayo to make it...

4.9 today. Went to sleep at 6.3 and my 3AM low, that's what I call it because it happens every night at the same time roughly, was 4.2 instead of under 4 *yay*. Reduced glargline/lantus dose must be starting to take effect.

Don't remind me of hospital food and the "diabetes menu" it makes me shake

Yes, but 5.7 is pretty much normal isn't it? 5.7 tells me that a) your pancreatic beta cells (insulin to "absorb" sugar ) are working properly in homeostatis with your b) pancreatic alpha cells (glucagon to "release" sugar). It seems normal to me. But if it was me I'd ask another Doctor. As an...

In my experience (and I have a lot, but I'm not a doctor), if you have pancreatic issues, you would also be experiencing a lot of pain. If in doubt ask your Dr for the blood tests

But those values are not high are they? When I was diagnosed I was in the 20s (mmol/L). As an average I'm in the 4s to 6s now (most of the time) and my diabetic nurse wants me to be in the 7s so I can develop hypo awareness. Are we talking the same units here? Because 5.7, to me, is about smack...

I'm 5.1 now after jelly beans and glargine. Should be cool. I just looked through libreview and it seems that the alarm has been going off at 3.9 or 3.8... ignorining my higher setting. Will make a phone call tomorrow
