Hi, I was just wondering how everyone is coping with the heat this summer? I'm not doing too well and was hoping for some tips! I've pretty much had heat exhaustion everyday this week while at work (I'm a gardener) And I don't know what to do? I'm drinking a load of water and trying to keep...

do you do a lot of exercise during the day? Or have an active lifestyle? I'm a gardener and when I get back from work at about 6pm a few hours later my sugars drop quite rapidly and I have difficulty getting them back up. It's because after I stop working my body is still burning carbs and...

I read that there are a few health risks that haven't been ruled out of it yet. There's still lots of tests going on in the UK to see if it is safe or if it will impact our health in other ways that may cause complications. That was a while ago so I'm not sure if they have got further with...

It could be your thyroid. I used to sleep all the time too so I went for a blood test and I have hypothyroidism, it's fairly common with diabetics apparently! And you only have to take a tablet in the morning everyday and you're sorted! I think a trip to the doctors is in order for you...

Sleeping all the time, headaches, depression. It pretty much felt like my sugars were 20+ but they weren't, were normal. Go to your gp and have some blood tests done. Beth, Type 1 diabetic. Or as my family call me 'Diabethic'

Could be your thyroid? I was the same, turned out I have hypothyroidism! Beth, Type 1 diabetic. Or as my family call me 'Diabethic'

I will look into it! Thank you all for your help! X Beth, Type 1 diabetic. Or as my family call me 'Diabethic'

Yes I rotate frequently. Hmm it's always a possibility that I have an infection or something that I'm not aware of yet, I suppose it's just a game of waiting to see what happens. If it continues I will have to make an appointment with my gp to get checked over :/ Beth, Type 1 diabetic. Or...

Nope not taking any new meds. I will order a new load of pens tonight and pick them up tomorrow to rule that out. If anything I have been eating less and nothing sugary at all! Other than that nothing in my daily life has changed!! Nothing seems to be making a difference :( It's exhausting...

Yeah I have emailed my diabetic nurse but I'm still waiting for a reply x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Yeah I thought it might be faulty insulin but I changed to new pens and it hasn't made a difference :( Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi, my names Beth I'm type 1. Still in the honeymoon period I believe. For about a week now I can't seem to get my sugars down, they haven't been lower than 10! I've put my lantus up to 28units a day (it was 22 units before all these high sugars). But it hasn't really made a difference ! I'm...

I had similar symptoms for the last month or so, I went to the doctors and they did a blood test, got the results back today and I have an under active thyroid !! Might want to check that, if you haven't already ? Beth

Got my blood results back, turns out my thyroid is all over the place ! So I'm now taking tablets for it every day. All my other results where fine though, so no other worries. Thank you all for your support, should be feeling better in a few days :) Beth x

I've got an appointment to see a nurse tomorrow so I will ask her to do some tests for me while I'm there and see if I can get some answers. It's just worrying me now :( Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have type 1 diabetes, my sugars are normal ( 5.7 at the moment ) but I need to pee every half an hour, I've not been drinking more than normal so it can't be that. It's been like for just a day. But I'm also tired all the time and my whole body is aching. Which has been going on for 2 weeks...
