The DN has adjusted my lantus at night, I've had my third hypo in 3 days. At the minute I am on a set amount each meal however I am reducing it based on what I am eating and the amount of exercise I am doing

Cheers @noblehead the last two days have been a massive knock in my confidence, I was only having one hypo a week. I'm trying to avoid junk food and chocolate but I can't seem to get my blood sugars up to a reasonable level and have found I am having to snack between meals to avoid further hypos

Anyone give me a bit of advice just had my second hypo in 2 days, one at lunch the other at supper. I am on 4, 4 & 6 apidra and 14 lantus. I have reduced my morning apidra to 2 units and still had a hypo before lunch. Other readings for the last two days have been low fours. I am diagnosed a...

Thanks everyone

The dietician has recommended that I get the carbs and cals book as it will help work out the carbs in my meals. Anyone else got it and found it useful? Thanks

Thank you

Thanks at the minute I am checking my bloods every two hours, trying to get a handle on what things I can and cannot eat. Had a bowl of cornflakes at the weekend and they rocketed my bloods so had to go out for a walk to bring them down

A couple of readings have been down to 4.4 and I have started to feel funny I am guessing these would be false hypos????

Hi everyone, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last Wednesday, spent two days in hospital due to it. Have got my bloods down to between 5-7 since I've been out and reduced my insulin on nurse advice. Is this a normal? My eyes have felt a bit funny over the last two days as well, I'm hoping...
