I've been on it for nearly a fortnight now. Threw up quite badly two days in and have the runs today. Apart from that I've got a pretty persistant background sicky type feeling. Really hope it subsides soon... BG averaging between 7 and 8 though.

Thanks. But should I be worried?

Probably. Will call clinic in the morning and discuss. Don't see me sleeping...

I went to see my podiatrist today as apart from getting bad winter hacks I'd developed an infection in the big toe of my right foot. While she was removing the infection and cutting away round the hacks she commented on my lack of flinching. She then asked if I had tingling anywhere in my foot...

Yeah, it's pretty frustrating. I don't want to get into thinking Type 2 just yet just in case the test comes back positive. Still, less finger pricking and being allowed back to the gym has to be a good thing.

Well they're refusing to confirm until they get my C-peptide back. :( But they've reduced my testing to 4 times a week and don't see a need to medicate just now due to honeymooning, so I reckon I'm Type 2. :D Am I still allowed to post in here...........?

Cheers, Sophia. No-one wants to have a guess? Just over an hour to go........

I presented with a Bg of 19.3mmol at my GPs surgery in early November. It peaked at about 22mmol before starting to drop. The tests at the hospital were inconclusive about which Type, so they sent off for specialist tests. I was on Glicazide for a few months, but it started giving me Hypos so...

Cool. Hope all goes well.

We were harsh because the facts, as he presented them, suggested mismanagement. I gave him a kick (like the one I got that saved my life) and then gave him advice. When he elaborated his story my advice remained the same. It bothered my a bit that my post was singled out from the various other...

But nothing today?

Eh, has anyone heard from Simba recently? Bit concerned.

My apologies, but I presumed when your strips expired at the end of December that couldn't of been testing from at least then. But that's not what you typed. You can see how we all thought you'd done it off your own back, surely? I'm sorry. I don't get why you'd rather buy it from dodgey...

You need to go to hospital and you need to go now if you haven't already? You don't want to involve them? Tough! Your a Type 1 with no insulin and high Bg who has been serially neglecting your condition. Your behaviour has made their involvement essential.

Cool. Where do I sign up?

Cug, My Bg is usually 5-6 at lunchtime. So 7 is actually a little higher. The further I get from it the more I think it was the cold. If it happens again I will go and ask about Blood pressure. Although in the past I've been in the high side of normal. I get annual checks due to both parents...

It was working fine this morning and I don't have any tester strips. I didn't wash my hands the first time, but did 20 min later and got more or less the same score. This may be because I was taken off my meds on Monday and my Bg is playing silly buggers. Still don't know what type I am. Find...

I'm thinking it was the cold myself. Not so much bending and lifting as pushing as shoving. Unfortunently I couldn't convince the guy I was with that it wasn't a hypo. Even after testing and getting 7.

I'm sure I just had a hypo, but my bg is holding at 7mmol. It's cold here. The lab is holding at 11 degrees. I had to go and shift some heavy packages outside just before my lunch and right after I'd finished doing that I felt really light headed, then like something was draining and I almost...
