    Rapid heart beats - can't sleep.

    I too am having this problem, I was only diagnosed a month ago but this is waking me up at 2am every single night and it takes me over an hour to get back to sleep.

I tend to wake up with a level of about 8-11, and 2 hours after breakfast I'm always seeming to drop to about 4-6, so I think I may need to have a few more carbs at breakfast, or reduce my insulin a tad more. I understand they are being cautious, but I am recording...

    The lowest I've been so far was 3.2, but i didn't feel bad at all. I have my first meeting with the consultant on Monday, it's going to be tough to try and convince them about the low carbing..

    I was diagnosed type 1 two weeks ago, and prior to this used to be similar, I used to go out every weekend and I am pretty worried as to how this will impact on my social life! I love beer but know it is carby, and when I asked my nurses what I should be drinking they said whatever I wanted...
