Hi I take 56 units of Tresiba at night and 12 of novarapid with meals There are many times when numbers are running really high even in the middle of the night they can be in 20s. When this happens should I be taking more insulin at that moment to bring it down? Thank you for any advice

Hi have noticed the last couple of months numbness in some of my toes. Am currently shielding is this something I should speak to GP about sooner rather than later. Any general advice. Thank you.

One week doing LCHF and I have lost 5.2kg (11.4Ibs) and sugars have gone from mid 20s to between 8.2 and 11.3! I aim for below 20g carbs a day and it’s working.

And numbers already dropping and the best thing for me is that after my evening meal there was only an increase of 1.3! Not sure yet how Keto I’m going to go but am starting with target of 20g carbs a day. Really feel full, will just see how it goes.

Started following LCHF, on average how many carbs do you have?

Was diagnosed three months ago now and after finding things out initially, I went into denial. Have now come out the other side and embracing LCHF diet and so far breaking it down to small chunks it’s manageable. My average reading has been 18.6, so really high and have been feeling really rough...

I think I have a neck longer than an ostrich. Honestly I still can’t get my head round this. A couple of weeks ago i though I had sussed it but have fallen off rails big time. After feeling like rubbish again have realised this isn’t going away without action. So here I am again. Am going to...

Well after trying to read all I could and get advice. I completely lost the plot a couple of weeks ago got stressed, fed up and angry. As a result I’ve been in denial since. It’s only been 5 weeks since diagnosis, but for me I think I took it too quickly and didn’t give myself time to adjust...

Hi Through your today I have had 26g carbs to my knowledge. We made a chilli for tea this evening and for quickness bought some cauliflower rice. It was a step too far for this girl at the moment so allowed myself 30g of cooked basmati which on looking up is 8g. Is this ok to do or should I...

Today is the start of me fully committing to lower carbs, eating to my numbers so I can lower sugar levels and get healthier. Will spend some time over the weekend, doing some menu planning and then start online shopping, avoid temptation. Have a great day all

We mainly talked about what I eat and where I can makes changes. The steer seemed to modify, everything in moderation and no advocation of any particular diet. Had to ask for my hb1ac, which is 83, much better than I was expecting. Then we did weight and blood pressure, which was through the...

Any one to put the feelers out in your local community and find out if there is a local Diabetes UK Support group. Only diagnosed two weeks ago, but tonight met about 30 lovely diabetics from all walks of life as we had a presentation from a podiatrist. I have my new diabetic appointment...

Well my forever feeling exhausted caught up with me today. Fell asleep in the loo! Am so tired, it’s making me feel so teary. Does anyone else get like this? My numbers are still very much averaging about 15, the highest being 24 and lowest about 12.5 Thankfully nurse appointment is this...

My numbers are continually high, am getting to grips with testing and going to focus on the difference before and after a meal for now and Keri g the numbers close together. Is there anything I should look out for with numbers this high? Am not anxious about them as I will learn what will...

Just completed first test before dinner. I just wanted to work out how to use it and my reading was 15.7 [emoji17]. Will do a test two hours after meal if still awake.

How does a dr or nurse determine whether you are type 1 or type 2? Many of the symptoms seem the same. I don't have my new diabetic appointment for 3 weeks, and am starting to compile a list of questions, any advice would be great. Thanks

Hi, as my new diabetes appointment is not for 3 weeks have decided to get a monitoring machine. Have been looking an Amazon and found one, just wondered before I purchase whether anyone has any recommendations? Thank you

Hi went to drs first thing today, as have some signs I was concerned about. Appointment was at 0830 and hadn't eaten since yesterday, glucose level 17.3...and in urine, all my symptoms matched. Was diagnosed on the spot and even had my fasting bloods done there and then as I hadn't had any...
