Hi. I go from pretty high to pretty low in a day especially if I exercise or don't eat regularly. I get light headed disorientated and hand tremors. Chocolate biscuit usually does the trick

The only guidance I got was the usual cut down on carbs and sugars. Also to treat myself once or twice a week otherwise it will be hard to keep to any regime. I find if I do not eat late at night my BM is in double figures in the morning. This is quite common. Keep the weight down and reduce the...

I sometimes think I am in remission and on occasions boarder on hypo even when I have broken out then bang, back up again. So as long as I stay in a reasonable range I am happy.

To get up before I go to bed each day. Think about it for a while. It does make sense.

My clinic says it's ok to have a treat once in a while otherwise it is hard to stick to a healthy diet. Consider this meal out as your treat. If I don't eat before I go to bed my bloods are higher in the morning than if I have had a treat like a meal out. It's a long road so take it handy.

I heard he eats penguins rather than kitkats as they have no chocolate

I present a programme on local radio so listen to all kinds and favour none. Imelda Mays new album is worth a listen. It is very different to her previous stuff. I also promote local bands and artists. Marie Gardner is worth a look on YouTube.

Hi. I am a sucker for mince pies. Does anyone have a re ipe for sugar free mincemeat

What would a normal fasting BM be

Sadly the low blood pressure you experienced was mild shock.

The Somogyi effect, also known as the “rebound” effect, was named after Michael Somogyi, the researcher who first described it. When blood glucose levels drop too low, the body sometimes reacts by releasing counterregulatory hormones such as glucagon and epinephrine. In a normal person insulin...

Feeling sick lasted a few weeks but I felt constantly full and lost my appetite for a good month or so after that. Fine now although had to come off cholesterol tablets I was prescribed due to liver reaction.

6.0 fasting. It tends to be higher if I don't snack before I go to bed for some reason

I'll stick to the odd cider. Bulmers do a low sugar one in every pub in Ireland but I couldn't find the Magners equivalent in England

I would give the same advise to anyone in your circumstances, T1 or otherwise. While you have no financial obligations go to college and train in an area that suits you as you will be working for at least 45 years. Stay away from debt and educate. You will reap the rewards later.

Being in Ireland we have to get used to little being free, although diabetics do get diabetic related meds free, and one test strip per day, we have to pay for every visit to GP, consultant & clinic. My GP is very good and says that people with type 2 can use bm strips initially to understand...

I mentioned it to my GP and he said it could be just the body's nervous system reacting to the change in blood sugars. He didn't think it was major damage to be worried about as I am only recently diagnosed even though I had gone into keto acidosis when diagnosed

They are a company that sell different types of nuts seeds and dried fruits in packs.

Hi. Like all diabetics I regularly check nutritional information on packages and I no the carbs breakdown does not always add up but I noted on a health food company's nutritional information it stated 6.6 grams carbohydrates of which 48.2 grams are sugar. It's not a typo as I have noticed it...

Hi. Diagnosed in January and since get a tingling mainly in my little and ring fingers of both hands which is worse large at night & first thing in the morning. I never suffered from cold feet but do now and it's really strange because not even a hot water bottle warms them. Any ideas anyone.
