I had sleep problems about a year ago, i would be staying awake until about 4 am and then waking up after about 30 mins of sleep. I found a nice relaxing bath worked wonders, with radox bubble bath - they do some that are designed to relax you, and they dont smell too girly either :) My dr...

Thanks for all the replies, all very interesting! I tried the readybrek at lunch time, injected about 10 mins after eating which is a longer gap than normal but someone turned up at the door, but my sugar did not spike at all! Thinking readybrek is a no no for breakfast but a possible lunch :)...

I ended up emailing them instead, but got a very quick response. Theyre sending me the ultra smart for free and are also giving me the ultra easy too (in pink :D ) which will be better for nights out as its small enough to fit easily in a handbag. Chuffed to bits with that! Ultra smart is...

Wow! thats ace :D Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you all for the replies :) I think what confused me most was it said carbs per 30g serving was 19.2, which I did think seemed fairly low! Im going to have porridge for my lunch today instead of having it for breakfast to see if my levels are inclined to rise after breakfast regardless of...

Thank you for both replies :D In the end I worked out I needed 3 units per slice. Seemed like a lot but sooo worth it every once in a while :D

Hey I used to have a one touch ultra smart but can no longer find it. I remember buying my one touch ultra smart from boots, but apparently they no longer sell them? Ive been looking on the internet and not finding them, does anyone know where I can buy one from, or are they available on the...

As some of you may have read in my previous post, I have recently started carb counting. For the last 3 mornings i have been having readybrek porridge for my breakfast, but this has been sending me sky high - this morning i was 5.1 and had 9 units to cover my porridge as it went high yesterday...

Hiya, Ive recently started carb counting and am getting on fairly ok. Im away at the boyfriends at the moment and he doesnt have any scales.. im going to be eating a 10 inch cheese pizza, but have no idea how many carbs it has, ive looked online and found various answers but not sure which to...

Thanks for that, my current ratio is 1.5 units per 10 g of carbs, but its a bit hit and miss at the moment.

Heya, Ive just started carb counting, I did a course run by my hospital a few years ago on this, but at the time did not find it very helpful so as a rebellious teenager stupidly gave up on it pretty quickly :roll: Im getting on ok with it now, been trying superly hard for the last 3 days as...

Hey hey I may have asked on here earlier about this, but nevermind... Ive been type one diabetic for about 13 years, and my control is fairly good, although not great! Last saturday - a week ago today, I went and got a small tattoo on my hip.. its my dad's initials and 2 musical notes and 2...

sorry, just realised that you said you dont get hypo warning signs (other than the agression) - so some of my post is kind of pointless, sorry about that, shouldnt skim posts :roll: I think part of my problem when i was younger was that i didnt get any symptoms, but as far as im aware i just...

Hi, Ive been diabetic for about 13 years, and I too get really aggressive once my sugars drop low.. It used to scare my mum and brother so bad because i would randomly start shouting and lashing out at them. This carried on for several years, and severely affected my relationship with them...

Hi Thanks for both your suggestions, much appreciated :) Im guessing its really going to be a case of common sense and taking it as it comes to start with.. I was supposed to go in today for a sort of practice run, but because of the snow it was cancelled, meaning monday will be my first day...

Hey everyone, Im a fresher at uni, doing BA social work... Im just about to start (in a weeks time) my 5 month placement for my course, working with adults with learning disabilities... really excited about it, BUT rather anxious at the same time! The placement means about 2 hours ish...

Hey i dont know if this has changed since I was at secondary school, but I had an agreement with the school where i was actually supposed to carry my glucose meter with me at all times as well as something sweet to have if i went hypo, normally a bottle of full sugar coke.. the way both I and...

Diagnosed 2 weeks before my 7th birthday - now 20! its not been easy but im getting there.. slowly! keep positive :) x

Hey I changed from lantus to levemir a few years ago too... i had a big reaction to levemir (lost my eyesight almost completely for a week :shock: ) but from what i can remember, my sugar levels were up aswell and i couldnt seem to get them down.. i dont know if this is a common problem with...
