Hi Sorry, Yes- hypo-y is what i meant...! It's not every day though. I have amde an appointment to go docs this week so will see if this means i can reduce my metformin. TBH i have cut down from 2 in the morning to just one as it seems to be in the middle of the day when i get these feelings...

meant thanks peeps!

Hiya I'm going to go see the doctor anyway but thought i'd ask on here too... I have fiddled with my diet a bit and actually lost some weight in the last couple of weeks after a few years of not losing anything! I've added a few 'good' carbs and cut down my prtion sizes after previously low...

thank you for the replies. sorry you've all had problems as well. it's quite comforting though to know that other people have experienced similar things. i just hope we can find out what it is!x

Hiya I just wondered if many of you suffer from a 'compromised' immune system due to diabetes? My husband is type one and in the last few months has had severe stomach cramps almost constantly and frequent bouts of sickness. (He is going for a scan in a couple of weeks to make sure it is...

Thank you...i'll have a look at that liink. I've just made him check for keytones and there are some but am trying to figure out what the reaading means as i can't find the guide thingy! His reading is about 10 now and he is in between the rose/pinkish square and the browny one..am not sure if...

Hi My husband is type 1 (only diagnosed in March) and he seems to have a sickness bug and stomach cramps.. He is just doin what anyone would normally do when they have a bug and rest, drink water etc. He is testing regularly so that is ok. Is there anythin else he should be doing and how long...

Forgot to say...i always 'get the sweats' if i eat too many carbs or the next day if i have had a drink the night before (sometimes even after only a couple of drinks :? )! Feebie x

The same thing happened to me while i was taking 'normal' metformin so my doctor changed me to slow release and the problem gradually got better. I also used to have a bloated belly from the normal ones too so slow release helped with that as well Feebie x

How does green tea help with blood sugar? Thanks

Hi I can't really help as i was also going to post something about this...my husband was diagnosed in March and this has been happening to him too since he started injecting. He explains it as a 'crampy' feeling, usually more to one side. It never develops into anything and comes and goes...

I stopped smoking 4 years ago after 13 years. I just went cold turkey and was absolutely fine. I think this was because I just knew i wanted to stop. (I had previously tried and failed about 3 times). I didn't find it hard at all and i don't think all these adverts on the tv and such advertising...

I saw that episode of Touch as well and it did my head in!!! Haha :lol: I mentioned it to my husband who was sitting there watching it with me (he is type 1 and I am type 2) and he wasn't bothered - he always says i have no imagination and can;t just pretend for the sake of a film or a programme!

Aww bless you - i used to get these all the time so know how you feel! I normally start feeling a little better within a few hours of taking the first tablet. I was told to always take paracetemol or ibrupofen for the pain and 'achy' feeling and not worry about not eating if I had no appetite...

Hi Lorri My husband is going through the same as you at the moment although his readings are a bit higher than yours and based on the tests he has had so far it is looking like Type 1. He has been off work for about 7 weeks now and i am not sure when he is going back either as his sugars...

Aww thank you for your replies! I just see his readings and see what he's eating and think there's no possible way that those numbers are going to come down!!! You've put my mind at rest - i'll show him what you've said and stop interfering! It's amazing how different type 1 and type 2 are...

Hi My husband has just been diagnosed with Type 1 yesterday after a few weeks of not feeling very well - bit of a whirlwind really and now he's on insulin! I have been type 2 for about 4 years now so I low carb and take metformin. I know that some of the type ones on here also low carb so i...

Hi I just wondered if anyone else is taking Propanalol for migraines? I have been taking it since last April and in the first week (apart from the gurgly tum!) I was very lethargic but it wore off and gradually i was back to normal. I have been very tired lately and wondered if it is this...

Thank you for the replies...i keep wondering what i am doing wrong but apparantly nothing! Went to see consultant at hospital yesterday and was thorough prodded and poked (feel like i've flashed me bits at everyone lately - the joys of being female!) Had a x-ray (well 2 because didn't get first...
