Thank you. It's back to Cornflakes then.

Does anybody on here suffer from high Blood sugars, after eating Fruit and Fibre Breakfast Cereal? Today my Bloods were 4.5 pre-breakfast, so I had my breakfast before injecting. I then gave myself 6 units of Fiasp insulin and 26 units Tresiba. Now my Bloods at 10am read 17mmol. I have seen...

I also suffer from Diabetic-Stress related ED. But being single. It isn't an issue. However, I wish the beast would wake up sometimes!

Thank you, And thank you, James. That is very good advice.

Good Morning all I want to tell you a tale of woe. And how easy it can be to become complacent. Yesterday afternoon. I took my dog "Ellie" for a walk. We left our car parked in a layby and went on our way. But. Halfway around my walk, I realized I didn't have my bottle of Lucozade with me. I...

27th February 1978. That's the day when. One day before my 14th birthday. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes . 40 yrs later I am still here. Thank goodness for Insulin. .... Paul.

The jury is still out then. I have enough trouble keeping my BS in check, so I think I will leave it for now. And talk with my Diabetic Dr.

Hi Freema, That's right. 500mgs they are

I have bought a large bottle Vitamin C tablets, to help reduce the risk of colds, and to help with tiredness. I have read that T1 DB's should not take Vit C as they could cause complications. I only intend taking 1 tab per day at breakfast. Is this likely to do me any longterm harm? I don't...

I'm not sure I believe that. Surly when your sugars are high, it's more important to exercise to lower them? This is how I was taught in 1978 when diagnosed. I'm still jogging and on Friday May 10th- I achieved one of my goals. I ran just short off 5K from my home. I really enjoyed it and...

Good for you. I hope it works ,which I am sure it will :D I went out this evening for another jog. And really enjoyed it. This time I didn't STOP, except when waiting to cross a busy road. I think that I am getting better at this lark. And hope to steadily progress to doing longer runs. My...

Hi Sunshine, Thanks for the heads UP. And good luck :) I have been thinking off way's to try to combat my lousy blood sugar control, and running seems to fit the bill nicely. I am fortunate in working where I do. I work with plants under glass. And sometimes my work can be very physical. But...

Thanks for the link :D

I don't have a IPhone. But I do know the symptoms of HYPO. I'm not so sure I want to do anything as exotic as a mathon yet. But I'll be very happy if I can achieve 6k for the moment. Thanks Mo1905 for the heads up. I certainly hope doing this, together with the work I do. I can finally regain...

Hi Guy's, I've just been bitten by a strange affliction which has suddenly overwhelmed me. I have started Jogging :D My first run was last week-end, Sunday 21st that was half a mile. Followed by another run on Wednesday 1 mile. This morning I managed a 4.2 K run and thoroughly enjoyed it...

I tend to leave my 4mm needle inside me for a couple off seconds, before I withdraw the pen from my tummy. If your BS levels are not being affected. I wouldn't worry.

Thanks Guy's for your helpful advice and suggestions. I've been to see my GP this morning, and guess what! I have an infection and I have been prescribed Amoxocillin. I have also been given some Ketostix to use because my BS is still in the high teens :( I'm increasing my insulin daily now...

Hi Joe, Thanks for the advice. I take insulin by injection, Novorapid three times a day and Lantus at t-time. I think tomorrow I will have to get an appointment to see somebody at my GP surgery. My last blood glucose at 16:45 showed 17.8mml after an inject of 12u Novo, it's shot up to 19.8mml...

Hi Guy's, I went down with a stinker of a cold on Sunday, and since then my Blood Sugars have been consistently high. My highest recorded peak was on Sunday evening, 18.8mml. And naturally I have had to considerably increase my dosage. Unfortunately this is isn't working because at 11:55 my...

Diabetic Honey 1978 I hope that this topic might jog somebody's memory banks so here goes. When I was diagnosed in February 1978 with T1 Diabetes. I seem to remember that at that time, you could buy a brand of special HONEY here in Great Britain, for people with Diabetes. I've been racking...
