I'm by no means a expert but i wouldnt worry as long as it has stopped bleeding. You've probably just hit a blood vessel, which may leave a bruise for a couple of days so try not to use that exact site for a little while. But he should be fine. :D

do you mean that a little spot of blood came out where you had injected?

Have a good one Adrian! :D

Personnaly i've never had a hypo at night as ive always woken up, I have symptoms such as a tingling sensation through my legs and I start shaking. My mother told me about a week ago that everynight at about 1:00 she'd come into my room just to check on me...i'm now 18 and she only stopped...

I try not to take any sugar before training or playing rugby as the intensity itself sends my blood sugars up. But for other sports such as Snowboarding and kayaking which arent so intensive I always make sure im above 10 as I burn sugar at an alarming rate. The glucotabs are a saviour as they...

first CD i ever bought with my own money....Something along the lines of RUN DMC Greatest Hits when I was about 11. First gig would be Pendulum in Manchester when i was 16.

I'm 18 and i'm always embarrased by my parents. I honestly wouldn't take any notice of it Ham79. Children sometimes don't understand how what they say can affect other people. Or they just say something without even thinking about it, I'm a prime example of that! :D

My sincere condolences to you and your children. Hopefully this will help other diabetics who are going through diffulculties to change for the better. Declan.

Welcome to the Forum Laura. Im 18 and was diagnosed at the age of 5, and i had the same problem as you, although im on the basal bolus regime. Send me a PM about anything you want to talk about :D

Hey Clarky. About your work, do you carry Lucozade tablets around with you in your pocket? If not it would be a good idea to invest. Taking one every time you feel you may need it would help with the hypos. im on the Basal bolus regime. Im doing 20 levemir in the morning and the same again at...

well it doesnt matter how much you do as long as you do some :D

First topic here, I'm quite an active person when it come to physical fitness and i cant seem to find a topic about what sports or physical activities other diabetics do on here. If there is one i apologize in advance! Just thought people could talk about their sports, how long they've been...

Same thing happened to me just a couple of days ago. Fine in the morning, then high for lunch and all day and night it didnt go down. I couldn't work out why either, checking needles and sites. It might be scar tissue from previously over injecting in one area by mistake. It holds the insulin...

Thanks debloubed :) That makes me feel alot better :D

ok thanks cugila :)

apologies, "Its come to my attention that on here the accepted optimal blood sugar is 5.00?" is a question. I didnt take it as fact, it just seems that every thread i read spoke about Bg of 5-6. I assumed that everyone here was trying to obtain blood levels in those numbers.

Thanks for the replies guys. I wouldn't be comfortable with going below 6 really with the danger of hypo's. I am one of those people that the 7 is aimed at appropriately, i might have a mental breakdown if i'm constantly fretting about my blood sugars.

Just a quick question! Its come to my attention that on here the accepted optimal blood sugar is 5.00? While through my entire life i have been taught that is is about 7 by my specialists and gp's.....have i been trying to obtain a blood level my whole life that is still to high? thanks Declan

ive had it since i was 5 (13 years). Sometimes i feel abit down about it, but then i think...its not all that bad. You do have to become somewhat of an optimist when you become a diabetic if you arent already one. Heres a little list: 1: Your better taken care of by the NHS...i mean sure it can...
