    caribbean cruise

    I went to Cuba and they were very understanding at airports etc. I did get reported for doing drugs by the cleaner of the hotel who walked in on me injecting, but after the manager explained the situation to her, the next day she was fine and apologetic.

    Is it safe to deal with DKA myself?

    Thanks guys. I'm back down to normal levels now and they seem to be stabilised. I do need to get more test strips tho, because I rely on testing up to 10 times a day, will look into it tomorrow x

    Do you ever confuse symptoms of hypo with hyper?

    When I first got diagnosed I used to think it was safer to run high than risk going low. Then I decided to try and control it better, but because I'd been running high for so long, getting down to normal levels made me feel hypo, but I was at 5 or 6.

    For those of you who have been put to sleep?

    Rachy... funny you should mention this. I have had an inner ear infection for 9 months now, I had to cancel my first operation (before being diagnosed T1DM) as another member of staff at work needed time off.
