Hi all, I've just changed jobs after 12 years of working in one place I've always worked 8am - 4pm. My new job has working hours of 8:45 - 17:15pm. I'm finding it really difficult to control my blood sugars on these working hours. I'm not getting home till 6pm therefore not eating until 7pm and...

Hi all, I'm having a really bad time of it. For the past two weeks I haven't been able to hit one reading under 13. I'm doing everything I can possibly do. I have the Aviva Expert meter and I'm injecting the doses it's telling me and nothing is working. My diabetic nurse is not returning my...

Hi all, So for the past three weeks I have not had a waking blood glucose reading below 13. Looking at my Libre I can see exactly where the spikes happen. Every night I have a steady line until about 3am and between 3 and 5am is where they start to peak. I wake at 5:30 every weekday for work...

Hi all, This is going to be long winded one so bare with me. Just need a bit of a vent! So I was moved from Humalin M3 to Novorapid and Lantus about 15 years ago. My Basal dosage has always been a struggle for me. I posed a thread a few weeks back to say I had been moved on Levemir which I...

Hi all, After years of expressing my hatred(!) of Lantus and carrying out all the basal tests and printing endless reports I have been moved onto Levemir. I was told to expect a few days of up and downs blood sugar wise as after 15 years on lantus this is a huge change to my body. So...

Hey all, I'm having a massive pizza craving at the moment! Only problem is my sugars. I always work out the right amount of insulin to take by working out the carbs but I always end up with my bloods spiking at some point no matter what I do! Any suggestions apart from not eating pizza!?

Hi all, I've been diabetic 25 years this year. For 10 of those I was on the basic two shot a day Humalin. Then when I was 15 I got moved onto Novorapid and Lantus. This worked brilliantly for me for a long time but recently I've developed a bit of a battle with the Lantus for example this...

Hi all, I've woken up this morning to blood sugars of 16.8. The past few weeks previously I was waking up with them between 5-8 which is ideal for me and even this weekend they were 5.8 despite me sleeping in late. I'm doing nothing different and yet today they are sky high. My Libre graph...

Hi all, I'm a week into using my FreeStyle Libre, have to say I love it. I always suspected my blood sugars fall and spike during my sleep but to actually see how low they actually go is mad! Just a quick question I'm still getting to know the Meter and have just come across 'sensor data...
