Probably not but I thought I would have a look and highlight the anomaly I found.

I filled in the questionnaire for you but found that if you don't suffer any complications ther is not a "none of the above" option

Metformin caused me the same problems including the incontinence. However I am not pregnant so can only advise you to phone first thing tomorrow and take advice from doctors. It is a horrible situation and must be worse for you. Take care.

I have never had a problem it's Humalog I use. Did you check the dial?

I have same problem but I buy the strips on eBay. If you do this be very careful of what you buy. You have to check the expiry dates and that they are unused still in sealed boxes. I haven't had a problem but you have to be careful. I have seen some for sale "loose" to save postage.

Mosquitoes do much the same for me. It's horrible!

Oh yeah. Sounds familiar. Mind you I probably overcompensate for the lows by overdosing on carbs!

Although I am on MDI I experienced much the same. I found that earl grey tea helped both the symptoms and the cause. It doesn't work for everyone though. On a side note about the middle of the month I still crave chocolate and I am well past the menopause now!

Welcome!

As I am not a doctor I cannot confirm but if you are not having hypos I shouldn't think it's too much to worry about. However I would check with your DSN and care team.

Oh dear. Perhaps you are eating more because you are hungry after exercising. I have heard that exercise doesn't always make you lose weight. Have you tried the low carb high fat diet? It might help you

Firstly have a lovely time. I put all my insulin in frio bags and take twice as much as I need. If you don't get a letter from your doctor I know you can get a card from diabetes uk but you can also download a letter usually from your meter provider, e.g. Bayer to confirm your needs.

Lucky you.

I would definitely recommend the LCHF diet. It works for me. I had to stop taking metformin as it made me so ill with toilet problems. It didn't make much difference to my bloods nor did it suppress my appetite but the LCHF has. I don't do a lot of exercise due to shoulder and back problems at...

Unfortunately many GP's won't give meters to type 2's and if they do it's usually one that the strips are cheaper for.

You should check the accu check site you can get a free meter. Also Boots have the lancets and test cassettes on sale just now

My mum had high calcium and was advised to avoid mineral water. Just a thought!

Welcome to the best place you could have found for help and advice. Take a good look around ask many questions even if you think they are stupid. I'll tag @daisy1 who will no doubt be along with info for newbies. I would suggest you have a look at the low carb diet forum. It has been a great...

Not a fan of avocados either in fact I hate the things! I find the frozen berries are far better value for money and taste good as well.
