Oh I am! :)

My 2 daughters seem to have a conspiracy against me, after tea every night they run around like lunatics screaming and laughing, this results in stressed me and panic about DD2 going hypo from all the extra exercise. Sometimes she has a hypo and other times it remains stubbornly high. God I...

Do you have a psychologist on your team? It does sound like a phobia but it's not really irrational as you're right to be concerned by a high but I feel you're overly concerned. Also the situation with lows is worrying, the way you're going about things is putting you at risk of loosing your...

I'd be extremely worried about rarely being below 20mmol! [emoji33]

I have the same thing with them occasionally becoming raised and itchy and I'm not even diabetic! I think it's normal tattoo stuff, everyone I know who has tats gets it, I belive the tattooist technique makes a difference, the deeper in the skin the ink is the worse it seems to be. I usually...

I use a fresh one for DD each time and she has around 14 tests a day!

My OH is and our youngest but me and my elder daughter are not :)

True, I was thinking of smaller portions

I don't understand why your GP has diagnosed type 2, everything you've said says type 1 to me! If your blood sugar is high, you're feeling sick and you have ketones in your urine you should go to a&e

I'd estimate you had around 50g of carbs.

Ah maybe you just have sensitive nerves, have you considered a freestyle libre?

If we go I think it will be to a water park type place, so an all day job, how often will I need to check her? Will they let her eat a biscuit at the side of the pool do you think or will we have to go to the cafe or whatever?

Want take the kids out somewhere today and OH mentioned swimming but the logistics of that are giving me a headache! 17 month DD is type 1, how am I supposed to check her sugars and give snacks appropriately in a swimming pool?! Swimming with the kids is stressful enough for me and I feel awful...

What lancing device do you have? Some are better than others it might be worth asking your DSN if they have another brand you can try

Type insulin pump into YouTube and you'll get lots of vidoes with people sharing their experiences good and bad :) Some doctors are really pushy about pumps but at the end of the day it's your decision, there's pros and cons to it like there is MDI

Not personally but my OH has had a hypo once before where he told me everything was going white and he couldn't see. Scary stuff I hope you're not too shook up

My LO is 17 months and her targets are 4-9mmol although docs are not too concerned with readings up to around 12. Have you checked her BG? Feel free to message me if you need to chat x

Oh dear [emoji23]

Thank you will go have a look :)

So we have a date for the CGM appointment for my 17 month old DD, just wondering what to expect? Will they fit it there and then or will this be more a consultation? I belive because of her age she will get a dexcom but no one has mentioned a brand to me, I do know it's not the libre though.
