yes she washed her hands before

Was testing my blood sugar and my neice who's 9 and isn't diabetic, wanted to see what hers was, anyway i tested her and it was 15 mmol, i asked when did she last eat, which was about an hour before, tested an hour later and it was 5mmol, is spiking like this normal in children?

Cheers for sharing carly, always wanted to backpack but have been reluctant being a type 1, uplifting knowing it can be done and that it hasnt held you back

even if it doesn't eliminate injecting before meals all the time, would be good to have a box of afrezza around just for eating out in public or just when its awkward or hard to inject privately

Yeh as others have said i would definitely want more investigation into this, as it could be something unrelated to diabetes, i wouldnt have thought it would be neuropathy especially as youve only been diagnosed 2 years. If it is neuropathy ive heard sometimes as the nerves are recovering they...

Looks pretty promising, was just browsing through random tweets with the hashtag afrezza, someone posted a reciept from the pharmacy https://twitter.com/PatOppa/status/576453812484980736 , thats 1200 units afrezza and 3000 units humalog, so taking into account there's no needles, and that...

I'm going off my personal experience in real life, i wouldnt trust some edited tv show where the main objective is to get more ratings, i was talking about the receptionists ive dealt with, of course there not all bad

I was having hypos all the time in the first year too, its most likely just the honeymoon period, its so fustrating cause its out of your control and so unpredictable, but it will get better as your pancreas packs in all together. I also think that most type 1s who are newly diagnosed are very...

For the past couple of months ive been bike riding at the weekends in the morning, usually have my breakfast then its about a 40 mins drive to where i go, the problem is im not sure how much insulin to take, if i take the right amount it will cover it for the car journey but i will start to hypo...

ive been getting tingling and a slight fuzzy feeling in my feet for the past 6 months now, when im controlling my sugars well i dont get it, only happens when im lying still enough to notice it

how do you get by on 5 a day, are you a type 2?

All hypos are different depending on the situation and what youre doing at the time, the worst are night time hypos or hypos when your being physically active. Ive had loads of different symptoms of a hypo over the years. Most of its due to your body releasing adrenaline, the rest is your brain...

forgot about the testing 2 hours after a meal, youre right himtoo the very minumum is 7 strips per day, thats if you dont drive anywhere, no exercise, and have perfect glucose control all the time.. which is impossible. So the very minimum is over 200 strips. You'd have thought they would put a...

When i was first diagnosed they prescribed me 100 strips per month too, just testing before each meal and before bed is 4 strips a day, which is roughly 120 strips per month, I dont understand why they think 100 would be enough, cant they do simple maths. Taking into account testing before...

You're right about the receptionists at the GP's too, they speak to you like ****, and have some sort of delusion that there more than just a receptionist, most of the stuff you say to them doesnt even get passed on

I had this problem when i was first diagnosed, went through the honeymoon period and was testing alot, practically had to beg the doctors for more testing strips over the phone explaining why i needed more, they eventually agreed to change the prescription to allow me to have more, and low and...

Just lucozade, its never happened before, dont think its the drink, it lasted about 15mins then went

Went slightly hypo earlier, so treated it with a sugary drink, then 5 minutes later my lips and tongue went extremely numb and tingly, also had a weird bitter taste, anyone else experienced this after treating a hypo?

Why would you drink a full can of rockstar energy drink without insulin? What did you expect would happen lol, if youre going to drink sugary drinks at least cover it with insulin, but i wouldnt advise them at all really, your basal probably dealt with the excess sugar, maybe because your sick...

It was near christmas, had like 3 lazy days where i hardly moved from the sofa, on the 3rd day i had a dominos pizza, my insulin doesnt hardly seem to work unless im active, i injected 10 units before, i checked my blood sugars 2 hours later they was 15mmol, injected another 5 units, checked an...
