About a week ago I thought I'd try two days of going low carb and not blousing and it seemed to me to work quite well apart from a few morning lows. I wanted to know if it's possible to do that longer term because that would mean only 1 possibly 2 injections per day. Has anyone else tried...

So I know I haven't been on the forum for a very long time but it's because my diabetes management has been going very well recently. So 2 weeks back my diabetes behaved itself so well that 1 hour after meal my blood sugars were 5.0 and didn't go low my ratio was so good and I thought I'd...

I'm having problems with high blood sugars before meals and then my post Neal blood sugars are usually fine but then about 4 hours after I eat my blood sugars goes up to about 11. So whenever I don't have rapid acting insulin in me and I'm relying on lantus my blood sugar rises!! It's very...

Now even I realise I'm getting stupid but for some reason I still can't stop what I'm doing. I am aiming for non diabetic blood sugars and if I am even slightly out of that range on the high end then there is nothing I can do and I feel so useless that I haven't done better! Lows feel good to...

Ok so I don't know where to start really. Well everytime my blood sugar goes high even above 7.5 I start to feel very anxious and it is disturbing my everyday life because I am constantly checking to make sure I'm not above that and if I'm 8 for example I'll inject 4 units of insulin because...

I hate it when my blood sugars are always high and I just know that one day I will be told that I am ill with complications of diabetes!! For the last week they have been uncontrollable and I've spoken to my diabetic team and they just said do corrections and in 4 hours it will be down!! Well...

So I have been testing my blood sugars about 1 hour after I eat to see how high I spike and sometimes it goes shockingly high up to 13.9 once! I wanted to ask how any of you manage to control the after meal spike. I personally have found that injecting about 30 minutes before I eat gives...

Ok I'm so angry now it's been 2 and a half hours since my last correction and no change!! Why what's happening!

Ok so yesterday evening I posted a thread on the fact that I was was having highs of about 10 every evening but I have just woken up at 4 am to 15.0. So when I woke up I got angry but I'm not sure how long u can take this disease. This is becoming impossible to mange I'm having 1.3s to 25.0s all...

Ok so I'm quite annoyed at the moment but because every afternoon my blood sugar begins the rise about 4 + hours after I have eaten lunch and it's really annoying :( I've tried a lot of things to help and try and find out what this may be but it happens regardless. My post meal blood sugar 2...

I want honest answers here because no matter how careful we are we will develop complications after a number of decades. I am really struggling as everyday I keep wondering how old will I be when I start to get really sick. Other people my age who arn't sick with long term illnesses don't...

I'm fed up worring about complications so I was wondering has anyone here induced lows to minimise the risk more. I don't mind being low at all. I'm also going to go protien/fat only, has anyone else done that and how long can you live healthily doing that? Thanks for your input looks like...

Whenever I have a high blood sugar ( most days) above 10 my preferred method of correcting is with insulin even though it's slower than exercise. The problem I find with exercise is that it's a lot quicker at that moment in time but once you stop exercising it starting to climb back up again and...

So it's late I know and I usually take my Lantus at 10pm but last night I was so tired I accidentally just feel asleep without doing it and I've just woken up at 1.30 and my BS is 9.3 now obviously this high reading in due to me not taking my Lantus. I assume I can take my Lantus at the normal...

Whenever my blood sugars are high and I take a correction of insulin it takes hours sometimes before I notice anything, is the insulin not working or something!? Also yesterday I tried not giving insulin fora high carb meal and 2 hours after the meal I was 8.7 but when I took the insulin for...

This afternoon my post meal BG was 4.1 but then something verystrang happened I was having what I call a moderately stressful afternoon and about 30 minutes ago 3 hours after my last post meal bg test and it was 12.6 ! I had not eaten or drunk anything apart from water in that time so all I can...

For the last 4 days after dinner my 2 hour post meal has been 11 +. Now I am trying to keep my patience but I am struggling to hold it in any more, also this evening I even injected more than I was supposed to by 30 g and still went up to 13.7, 2 hours later. Can someone please explain what is...

Ok so recently I have posted a lot about how high blood sugars are affecting me so it was recommended to me that I post a days blood sugars. Yesterday morning I woke up at 11mmol/l So I corrected this and by breakfast I was 7.4 and miraculously after breakfast I turned out to be 5.7. Before...

I always have high blood sugar at the moment weather it is when I get up in the night before lunch or after dinner, I am always high. I don't know what to do as I have just lost my energy with trying to control this disease and I don't feel I can continue doing this anymore. I am also very...

is spiking straight after a meal to 13 every time but coming down to normal after 2 hours normal and won't cause any problems only if it's an hour after meals?
