Hi tim. No i haven't adjusted my basal. Im suffering some anxiety and just not feeling hungry enough to eat the bigger meals! I suppose it makes perfect sense to reduce my basal! Thank you so much x Sent from my SM-G920F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Hi all Last night was not a fun experience. Could not get my sugars past 5 all night...even after a bottle and a half of lucozade (not taken at once!) Anyone go through this before? Im pretty frightened by it. I haven't been eating that much lately could that do it? Im by no means starving but...

Some of your experiences are just frightening!! So glad you all recovered! My lowest was 1.9 and boy did i feel it. Just about managed to down a bottle of lucozade (no idea where the strength came from) and lay on the floor of my living room drifting in and out of sleep until i was properly...

Hi All Over the last couple of days I have had 3 hypos. Mostly due to the heat and one i accidently miscalculated my insulin. These have left me very tired and wanting to rest, however, my partners sister alluded to the fact that everyone gets tired and i should just do exercise to perk me...

Hi All Yesterday I was approached by a work colleague to see if I would sell my insulin to her body building friend! Of course I said absolutely no way.....surely a non diabetic would die or become incredibly ill if they took insulin? Just couldnt believe the brass balls of asking! Sent...

Hey I am using the glucomen LX metre and yesterday I checked my sugars and they were at 2.3! Needless to say I guzzled lucozade like it was going out of fashion but thought it strange I had no hypo warnings. I checked again and my bgs were at 6.9. I rechecked again and they were still 6.9. I...

Hi samantha. This has been shared before i believe!

Hey there. Good for you wanting to help yourself. Sometimes thats half the battle. Could i ask what your diet is like??

Carterbpool, you have no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed and it certainly isnt worth making yourself ill over. It doesnt matter if youre type 1 or 2. You have a condition that needs urgent care right now. Could you possibly check your levels now and start taking your meds to bring them down...

Hi Sarahjordy! I am familiar with some of those slimming clubs and just a word of caution. Some of the recipes can spike your sugars. For example they say potatoes are fine....which they are but mashed potatoes can actually cause a big surge in your sugars. Can I suggest you look into th GI...

Hey there Josephine What a response from you! Eloquent and dare I say....justified. I too do not like that label and would not appreciate this from people close to me. Have you decided on a course of action? Private message me if you like. Would be lovely to speak with you x

Hi ann34+ i understand what you mean, but theres no shame to be had with diabetes and anyone who feels that way needs educating!

Oh josephine thats so terrible!!!! I hate the label of disability!! Hope he got the cold shoulder for a while after that.

Hi All Had a slightly off putting experience i want to share with you all. Can you let me know if Im being sensitive! Out to dinner with the inlaws to be last night and my sister in law told me not to inject at the table as it would make people uncomfortable. My first thought was, ok fair...

Hi jules Really pleased for you being in remission! I was diagnosed 5 years ago and it took me a few months to feel normal...or as normal as you can I guess. Take time and be patient with your body and you will start to gradually feel better x
