Either one or two a week I usually feel hypo around 3-3.5.

Similar to me, gave up both alcohol and smoking since being diagnosed caffeine is the one that's still hanging in there :P

That doctor seemed to have no idea what he was talking about beef raises insulin levels twenty-seven times more than rice, *** that doesn't make sense.

Because we're the mugs :P

Yeah, I think some counselling would definitely help, you are drinking because something is bothering you it was similar with me when I started smoking, glad to say I haven't smoked for more than seven months now, so you can beat the alcohol as well :)

Is your wife/girlfriend that you're cheating on stressing you out? Do you think that's why you are drinking and having the affair?

Not really sure what you could do with alcohol, I'd suggest it's a good idea to take time out of work or whatever you do go to a rehab if that's possible. Alcoholism is a serious problem, with type 1 diabetes it will affect your blood sugar dramatically. You should speak to your healthcare team...

It might be down to bad organisation more than anything, in the NHS it seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing sometimes. If you decline to go, no idea what would happen.

My problem is Diet Coke and Tea can't go a day without get headaches and fall asleep for two hours during the day if I don't. Is it causing any particular problems? Obviously it's best to stick to the recommended amount which is about four cups of coffee. I wonder if you could try other hot...

Are you newly diagnosed? Your healthcare team should have put you on basal bolus (unless you have come off this). https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendations#insulin-therapy-2 "1.7.1 Offer multiple daily injection basal–bolus insulin regimens, rather than twice‑daily mixed...

This sounds great, I hope it helps to improve people's lives.

I can't say how many a week, but I remember they said absolutely no binge drinking.

Welcome to the forum :) people are very helpful and friendly here so if you have any questions even despite having 23 years of experience ask. Also please let us know how the hypoband trial works out.

I've never had this fortunately, but if my sugar is high it can make it harder for me to sleep.

For taste I always had Russian Standard but I have no idea how it affects blood sugar, I'd usually mix it with other alcohol or drink it straight :P

I had a DKA at diagnosis so it's obviously a bit different, but I felt terrible when I went in to hospital I felt pretty bad afterwards but still a lot better than I had in the months before.

I don't drink any, I tried it once had three pints which is nothing compared to my usual night of drinking and it was affecting my blood sugar almost a day later. So I've given up on the alcohol saving myself a lot of money :)

47 :D down from 151 at diagnosis I'm so relieved thought it would've been higher.

Welcome, I hope all goes well for you with having a child and that you don't face any other problems at work :)

Yeah I was on Fluoxetine a few years ago and that was 20mg I guess that's why I'm getting mixed up, thank you for clearing this up :)
