I did that one and learnt a lot from it, my levels are now lower my a1c right down, but not good enough for the consultant I saw the other wk, he told me I didn't have a clue what I was doing as I was doing it all wrong, (carb counting), he asked when I had been on a dapne course, I tried to...

I have been referred back to my dsn by the paramedics who came out to me, they also suggested that the dsn may offer a different basal. when this happens I will let you know what she says, thankyou for your help and advice.

I didn't feel hot, just normal, when paramedics did my temp it had gone down to34.4, god only knows what happened, but I just hope it don't repeat itself again, very scarey for my husband, I was too out of it to be afraid at the time, although I was apprehensive when going to bed last night.

i'm on insuman basal 14 units, have been on that amount for a while now, though last week I started a new phial and my readings in the am were 20.5 first am next day they were 20.7 both times my b.s before bed was 7.2 then 7.1, used new phial next am b.s were 6.8. b.s sat night were 9 before bed.

that was 5hrs after my meal, I had given the correct dose of insulin for the carb intake, no alcohol, no exercise, and no to time of month, that is what I said to the paramedic that I have had hypo's of 1.8 and not ever experienced anything like this

had a bad hypo 4.30 this morning, went to bed with my b.s sitting at 9, my husband said he heard a thud turned on the light to find I had fallen onto my t.v next to the bed I couldn't stand or speak properly, he phoned 999, ambulance turned up very quickly, after being given sugary drink and...

not eaten anything, just had a mug of tea as I usually do, b.s been fine all day again 5.2 lunchtime, 6.3 teatime, really weird happens every so often.

that was as soon as I woke up this morning, nothing to eat or drink, my b.s before bed last night was 8.4, had nothing from 8pm woke up 8am.

I haven't been feeling well for a few days so, wasn't too surprised when I did my b.s levelswere 15.5, very high for me (now), so I re tested same finger on my left hand as opposed to my right, b.s were 12.4.?? very confusing, I understand there is a variable but by 3 is a lot, which one do I...

I am on apidra I use 2.5 per 10gm of carb, i was started on by my dsn 1 per 10, my b.s sugars went sky high, put up to 2 per 10 came down but not quite enough, then did 2.5 to 10 which works for me, it is trial and effort i found, but my levels are ok now i also have 14 units of insuman basal...

I was told by the dieticion only count pasta,rice,bread and potatoe, the big four she said, don't worry about veg, you can eat as much of that as you like, I found to my cost that no you can't, you need to count it all. I have now seen such an improvement. hope you get things sorted, it's a...

hi Hannah, know how you feel, it is a relief to talk to someone who knows exactly what you are going through.on this forum there is so much knowledge about the condition, I was so glad I found it, the people on here have helped in so many ways, I truly am grateful for the input you receive when...

I had mine a few wks ago and have been fine, I also had the pheumonia jab last yr, that one is a one off, it lasts for life, bg levels are hard enough to maintain when ur well, so I felt I wanted to give my body every bit of help needed to maintain good/acceptable levels.

that's interesting cos I also have different readings, if I have had digestive biscuit before bed rather than light cheese biscuit, readings are deffo different. will experiment, thanks for the input, as all individual experiencences are different I have just now gone back on my bg records and...

I don't test inbetween meals as I'm working most days and don't have the time, but did do when I was off, always high after 2hrs no matter what I ate, but by four to five they were in range, I was told that as long as they were in range by that time it was ok? is that wrong?

I think I may try the testing through the night this weekend as I have time off from work, I did wonder wether my bg was a bit low for bedtime, but was so full , I will read those items when I get back from work tonight, thanks for the input, just so frustrating when they peak, I feel like a...

bg's have been more under control recently, have been keeping to allowances of food ratio's blousing correctly for all meals, last night4.8 at bedtime, didn't have anything as I was full up, tell a lie I had a coffee, went to bed, had a fantastic night's sleep, undisturbed, woke feeling really...

I have managed now to keep my bg levels in single figures now with the odd high (not sure how or why they suddenly spike like that), I keep to what I think is a low carb diet, ie 80g carb a day, I do feel them coming on, they range from 1.4-3.8, varys. just thought it ws a bit strange that I...

can anyone explain why I don't get this wiped out feeling when I have hypo's and hyper's?. when I have a hypo sometime they have been as low as 1.4 as soon as I have my 2 rich tea biscuits and cup of tea with 1 sweetner and sit for 5 mins and relax I am back to normal and carry on with whatever...
