Can anyone give me any suggestions on the lowest calorie way to treat a hypo?

I’ve just accidentally injected 50 units of my fast acting insuli fiasp, thinking it was my long acting. Anything lose to do other than overload with sugar? I need to go to bed but my libre tends to lose connection at night so I’m a tad concerned

Bit of backstory to start. I was diagnosed in 2015 at 26. At the time I was told there wasn’t a particular test to see if it was type one or type two, but it was likely to be type 2 as I was massively overweight at 19-20 stone (5ft 6 woman). I proceeded to lose 6+ stone in just over a year...

Over the last few days my blood sugar is running higher than usual, I’m not doing/eating anything different to usual so really confused as to why it’s running so high, I haven’t got a cold and don’t feel unwell at all.

Is insulin really only used as a last resort in type 2? Ive had trouble with control since diagnosis, only with being on the high side really. I had my testing strips taken off my prescription months ago as I dont qualify for them being a type 2. So nowadays I test very rarely with the...

Theres a possibility (im not sure) that I may have just taken a double dose of my morning meds, which is a Janumet 50mg/1000mg and two 80mg gliclazide, should I be concerned?

I have been using an accuchek nano since dianosis. The other day I took a reading, then decided to take another straight after just to make sure, and the readings differ. For example, I've just taken 4 readings from the same needle prick, all within a minute, the first came in at 14.7, the...

I was put on 500mg (twice a day) of metformin when I was diagnosed, gave me awful stomach issues so I was changed onto 750mg slow release (once a day). Had my first diabetic review yesterday, hba1c 101! Nurse said she would change my metformin and has given me 850mg (twice a day) but I...

I rarely drink, but just curious about the sugar level in certain alcoholic drinks, cant seem to find any information on the bottle or online. Does anyone know where I could find out?

Hiya, I'm fairly newly diagnosed, June this year. I'm massively struggling with food and seem to have fallen into bad habbits. I know it sounds stupid but can you be addicted to chocolate?! Because I'm pretty sure I am, when I wake up in the morning I have to have some, then bits and bobs...

Could anyone reccomend some good cook books for diabetes? Everything Ive seen at book shops has been full of fancy stuff, Im just after some simple bog standard recipes! Dont mind if its just general diabetes friendly or low carb, anything will do.

After sleeping for 10 hours or so, I've woken up today with bloor sugar of 15.3 I'm quite recently diagnosed (june) and I take one 750mg SR metformin daily. Is there medication which helps lower the blood sugar levels more than metformin? I've been told that metformin doesnt really have much...

Started on standard Met, then got put onto slow release due to stomach issues, been on S for nearly 2 months now and still having issues, my dr said if it persisted we could change the medication entirely. Just wondered what some of the alternative meds might be? If its anything with worse...

Hey everyone, I'm Clare and I'm 28, got diagnosed at the begining of July. I started to experience very frequent urination and extreme thirst, I did my usual thing and googled it, obviously diabetes came up as a possible cause which I was worried about as I'm overweight and have it on both...

I was diagnosed at the begining of the month and started on normal metformin 500mg twice a day. It gave me stomach ache and diarrhoea so my doctor changed me over to the SR version which I take 750mg with my evening meal, I've been on these since last thursday, so almost a week, and I'm still...
