Im not sure if this is a common side affect but when my bms rise a little say around 10-13mmol i get really tired. i feel drowsy,sleepy and my head gets really heavy. does any one else get this? it basically stops me in my tracks and makes me feel kind of inhuman. im only 25 shouldnt be feeling...

im begining to wonder if that when we are low like just said below 6( normal for a normal person), we are simply running at our peak performance and that we are used to been that little be worse at things then other people due to fluctuating blood sugars. so as soon as we are at peak we have...

Thats pretty cool, so far it seems that low bms are actually a positive despite the fact they shouldnt be. it doesnt seem to affect me in say go karting i seem consistent if really high or normal. but gaming low is good!

hate bioshock,did once play wow but game it up when it decided to try and take over! hypovision i like it. hypovision is weird its like taking a drug or somet! just become unstoppable

So the weather sucks at the moment and ive been playing alot of Xbox, modern warfare 2 (online)and ive come to notice a strange thing. When playing the game i am okay but if i go high in blood sugar i become terrible and tend to loose alot if however i become low say 2-4mmol i am consistently...

I have been completely able at a blood sugar of 0.9 dont get me wrong i know i was low, infact im very sensitive to lowering blood sugars but i have never collapsed and am still completely able in really low situations. i find it weird that person above my post was freaked out at 1.2 but i think...

Was just wondering if anyone knows anyway that people can sign up to diabetic research? I know there is a lot going on with stemcell research at the moment and was wondering if there are any diabetic programs going on and if the average type 1 can sign up to be a participant? thanks alot...

I go for the inject in public no problem, as a teen i actually wanted someone to mention it to me so i could tell them how stupid they were etcetc but **** the world cause no one ever noticed. i use syringes and always have even these dont get noticed. only one person ever had a problem and that...

Excercise does lower blood sugar but in order for it to do so you need insulin. insulin gives the body the chance to absorb the energy from the food. so when u have no insulin you go high due to the body not absorbing the insulin so it floats in the blood stream causing damage! but insulin...

I use 5mm syringes(i think), of course you can get them on prescription they are used for a lot of other illnesses so if you want them fight for them. i love my syringes and wouldnt use pens ever for several reasons but the main 2 reasons for me are this. 1 in using a syringe it draws peoples...

So im guessing most people use pens, but after a recent visit to boots when the pharmacist was shocked to see a diabetic wanting syringes id thought id ask if many people use them! I have always used syringes had a few goes with other devices etcetc but syringes win for me!

agreed its hard, you cant force it on anyone they will just get upset and rebel and never do it. the reason i started so young is a doctor did my first one ever and it hurt and i thought i can do it gentler, ive never let my parents do it. infact only 3 people have ever injected me. and even...

My dream is that they eventually make a blood glucose watch, you wear it and it tells the time and your blood sugar levels!bring it on!

In my opinion the quicker the better for self injection. i know everyone is differnt and people need differnt lengths of time. but as i turned diabetic aged 7 i started self injecting after just the second injection now this is probably unusual but what it mean was that when i wanted to do...

Blood sugar levels change where you are testing the blood. I was a phlebotomist and often diabetics wanted me to test the blood i have just taken to save them doing a BM test however the blood taken from the arm had completely differnt sugar levels to it taken from the fingers, so im presuming...

All very interesting reading but seems to be missing one big point! insulin may have not been introduced till the 20's but id imagine for every 10years its been used the average length of life for diabetics must be shooting up. the average persons life time has increased massively over the past...
