    Highs at night

    Highs at night

    Hi all, I've just done my nightly test and really high at 15. I've injected with lantus (my usual 8 units) and will now be testing myself in an hour to see where I am (maybe in the night too).

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Mine started at 107 and has dropped to 83mmol/mol. Is there a range that it should be in? By the looks of it 83 is still quite high

    Any fans of Metal Music?

    Never got to see Motorhead :( Lemmy was going to live forever with Keith Richards. I don't reckon anyone is too old for download, your hubby should go wolfie. I'm really tempted to see AC/DC but tickets are really expensive

    Type 1s: What stupid things have people said to you?

    My ex said a similar thing, basically 'Oh well, it's not the end of the world' this was the day I was diagnosed and I was in pieces about it. Mostly had 'You don't look diabetic'

    Injecting in public

    That is awful. I can understand why you would do it in private now but try not to let it get to you too much, that's just one stupid persons thoughts.

    Injecting in public

    I started injecting in private to not offend anyone or worrying of what people may think but I now do it in public. It's part of who we are and shouldn't be ashamed, most of the time people don't seem to notice anyway and go about their business
