    Hypo at work

    I’m on the novorapid six units for each meal as prescribed by the doctor. When my blood sugar first started going low I took 2 jelly babies and waited for 15 minutes and it was it the red by that stage and I was starting to feel dizzy so I decided to take a biscuit and this stage I was starting...

    Hypo at work

    I work in a cafe so decided to have a toastie for lunch with coleslaw. I did my insulin 15 minutes beforehand which was 7.6 but I still ended up having a hypo. Any reason why this could have happened? Here’s my readings.

    Health Suites

    I’ve never been to the class before but I absolutely loved it. There must have been about 20-30 people in the pool. I was doing exercises in the pool while Shania Twain songs were playing. My blood sugar was 10.4 before the class and 9.2 afterwards. Decided to treat myself to a subway afterwards...

    Dream Job

    It’s funny how life doesn’t always go the way you think it will. I was a Carer for a family member for 6 years. Kinda makes you realise how short life can be sometimes and we take it for granted.

    Dream Job

    Mine was either a teacher or a librarian. Being surrounded by books all day seemed like the idea job.

    Health Suites

    Went to the health suite today with my friend and I checked my blood sugar reading before as was previously mentioned in the comments above and it was 9.8 . I also brought my backpack with my sugary snacks if needed but I didn’t need any. Overall a success. [emoji3]

    Freestyle Libre results

    Try and stick with the 4 staple food which are bread, potato, rice and pasta. See if eating that makes a difference to your readings.

    Yoga

    Yeah I think I just worry too much about how the exercise will affect me instead of just doing the classes and trying new things. I’m trying not to let the diabetes affect my life.

    Yoga

    It was actually enjoyable. My freestyle Libre alarm didn’t go off and I felt very relaxed at the end of the class. Will definitely try it again. Im trying to see what classes work for me with having diabetes.

    I’m going to try the class today and see what it’s like. It’s an hour long class so hopefully everything will go ok.

    Netflix

    There’s a few of the shows I’ve watched like the sinner and Snow Piercer but I find they only add a series at a time and then end it in a cliffhanger and don’t add another season so you’re left with more questions than answers.

    Freestyle Libre results

    Quite a few people kept telling me I looked like I was losing weight and I was eating a lot but not putting on any weight. I even tried changing my diet, my mood changed and I was drinking a bit more but I didn’t really think about it at the time. It got to the point where I actually collapsed...

    There’s quite a few days where the readings are red. I’ve only recently been diagnosed myself last October. Have you had any other symptoms?

    Netflix

    Well I’ve finished watching Wednesday and One of us is lying and am starting to watch Lucifer but I don’t have a specific genre but I do find if there’s a good theme song then I’ll probably watch the show. I watch more tv shows than films but I watch any films except horror.

    Hbac1 Results

    I went for a Diabetic eye test recently and they were testing for Retinopathy. I was reading the article you sent and the Hbac1 mentions about complications like Retinopathy.

    Hbac1 Results

    Thanks for the link. Don’t really understand the Hbac1 and what the normal reading should be. I don’t recall it being mentioned in the hospital.
