@shaleighgrainger hi there, I'm sorry to hear you are having a rough time, and you sound like a very caring and understanding person to be supporting your partner by looking on here for advice. I'm a type one forty one years old who has fluctuating levels , which is not helped by being a fussy...

Thank you @catherinecherub. I've lost another pound since my post, sugars still high x

Hi everyone, I'm 40 years old, type 1, asthmatic with underactive thyroid. take novo rapid, lantus thyroxine and inhalers. Diagnosed with chest infection last week. Asthma got really bad at weekend, two visits to a&e, sent home yesterday. Been on prednisolone 40mg since last Friday with another...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I'm sorry to hear of your bad experiences too. It really is scary isn't it? My control is not too bad, always room for improvement I guess though! My awareness is usually spot on, just not this time :( I was diagnosed type 1 in my early thirties, I'm 35 now...

Hey everyone, This is my second post in the last twelve months regarding a bad hypo. The last one resulted in a fit and hospital, this one wasn't so bad but could have been....... Tuesday evening my husband was working away. I got home from work with a reading of 7.8. Before I left work it was...

Hi, Thanks for your replies. Yes I agree I think it's the digestion/bloating that's the problem. My water intake is good, usually 1.5-2L per day but I don't think it helped on this occasion :? Going to see how I am after the weekend, felt slightly better today so fingers crossed! :D

Thanks Jo & Yipster....I have started doing the Lantus in my legs now. Sorry to hear you've had a tough time of it Jo. This forum really is great for supporting one and other, I can't thank you enough. xx :D

Hi Jo, Thanks so much for your reply. It's comforting to know I am not the only one.....it's left me so confused, worried, especially the "not remembering anything" part, and the thought of the distress my hubby must have felt. My last HBA1C was 7.9 - same as yours! This is a personal best for...

Yes perhaps the bath didn't help...what I don't understand is, at 4.30PM BS was 11 prior to mowing the lawn. My "Episode" was at about 7.30PM, admittedly I still hadn't eaten but surely BS should not have dropped to 0.6? Got the local nurse coming to see me tomorrow, she thinks perhaps my...
