I girls, I've been absent from here the last month as I've had alot going on.things have settled though and I went to a post dafne meeting on Friday. They were happy with my results but said to hold off until early July before I get my next hba1c because if I got 1 now I would be disappointed...

Oh girls that sounds tough to be hypoing that much! Ye must be drained from them! Is it effecting your daily routine? Work?

Ok I'm gonna hop on here if that's ok! Taking metformin 1000mg 3 times a day along with my insulin due to insulin resistance caused by my weight!I am 5"4 and weigh 12 stone 2.5 lbs I am going on holidays next week so will try use that as a short term goal!

Wishing you all the best with at @Postitnote! How far along are you now? Can I ask how did you manage to get your hba1c down so much?

Woke up late at 11am, 8.0

Maybe ask your dsn next time to be sure but I would definatly be eating something before bed because I know for myself that would be too long to go without carbs but I could be wrong!

Do you usually eat before bed? Fair play on getting it down so much! It's not easy!!

They advised me at clinic to not go to bed with a blood sugar under 6 so maybe eat something like a piece of toast before bed and do a 3am test? I know what you mean though I fear night time hypos too. Would a hypo wake you if you went to 3?

Hey Slayer, I haven't fallen pregnant yet however I'm going to a pre pregnancy clinic and they have advised me to not fall pregnant until I am under 7% I am on folic acid though. I think the risks are higher than that of a normal pregnancy. It's frustrating but I get it's for the best! I...

Never knew a slow release version existed!

Hey Sarahkylie88 I never told you how it went! My best mates hen party is this weekend so I've been pretty busy since I finished the DAFNE course! To be honest it wasn't like a proper clinic appointment I'd imagine because I was there to do DAFNE and they didn't want to hold me up but they are...

Yes I'm type one and on 850mg of metformin 3 times a day and have awful stomach problems with it at times.

I'm trying to imagine how it would remotely work! I'm not too familiar with pumps! I'm on 12 levimir in the morning and today it was increased to 19 at night, and I take novarapid too. My sugars came in high this morning at 15 and the same yesterday morning so they increased the night time...
