So basically I should disregard what my GP, DSN and the people at Diabetes UK North Staffs group have told me about what to buy and eat and get rid of this checklist.

My basal and bolus are set properly and I've been told about correction doses by my DSN, but not about carb counting as she said that I don't need to count carbs. My bloods are in the twenties when I go bed between 9 and 10 am and low teens when I wake up later in the afternoon, before I have my...

I'm still running high blood sugars even though I've been exercising everyday and taking my medication. I inject my insulin in my abdomen both tresiba and novorapid, but lately when I inject it's really painful. Also I've been eating quite alot since I've started my new job and it's been mostly...

I'm feeling better in myself now, just need to lower my blood sugars as they were 27.6 at 8:30am after I had some weetabix 2 hours before and 20 units each of levemir and novorapid. At 1pm I had a bowl of ham pasta salad that I made from scratch with lots of mayo and a tiny bit of fireside...

I feel a whole lot better now as my dog is home and yesterday went to his favourite hill top and scattered his ashes. It was emotional and then thunder struck as I was going down the hill and it felt like a goodbye from him as he was named Zeus. I enjoyed a few pints of lager afterwards in...

I've just had enough, can't cope with it. It's just been all too much for me these last few weeks as my dog got diagnosed with diabetes and two weeks ago had to put him down due to complications. It's really hit me hard and I just give up, I can't get my blood sugar down, I feel worthless and...

I've started to begin lowering my carb intake this week to a 100g per day and my mum has decided to join in with me as she wants to cut down on carbs as well. Monday and Tuesday went well, but yesterday I got hit by a bug and it's all gone down hill, as my blood sugars shot up to 29.3 and after...

I'm still on the same treatments as before, with new medication testogel and I've got to take a vitamin d supplement. I've also been told to not cut out carbs completely, instead I've been told that carb cycling maybe helpful. I've also started to have lemon/lime water everyday and trying my...

My mistake its not Rabson-Mendehall. Its Wolfram syndrome or DIDMOAD. I asked the doctor about it after the nurse gave him the wrong chart. The doctor has said that I've got a enlarged spleen, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and possibly immune thrombocytopenia. I also confessed and told the...

I can't do it, I can't cut all carbs out. I can cut out all the sugary carb foods right now! But I cannot give up the starchy carbs. I am now in hospital being told to eat carbs to maintain my blood sugars as I was unconscious this morning and got told my blood sugar was 1.5 after waking up in...

I've felt like utter **** today, woke up with a blood sugar of 12.4 had breakfast at 7am which was a poached egg and a milky coffee. At 10:30am my blood sugar went down to 10.1. At midday it crept up to 12.9. All I had was 3 cups of tea with full fat milk. Lunch was a subway Italian BMT salad...

I'm getting 50 test strips tomorrow and I do live in the UK, but I don't drive. I have been told about carb counting, but I've found it confusing. I am also snacking in between with 4 or 5 biscuits or enjoying my mum's baking.

It did work, I woke up at 2am with my blood sugar level at 5.1 and I felt hungry and weak that I had to make myself some toast just to stop shaking.

I'm going crazy now, my blood sugar is 27.6 and I've just taken my medication and about to go bed. Will my insulin bring this down if I inject more as I've already injected 24 units of levemir and 18 units of novorapid. Don't believe how high I am, I only had 3 tiny potatoes with a minted lamb...

Not yet, I've only got 8 strips left for the weekend. For my lunch today I had a pot of meatballs with cheese and jalapeños from Subway for £1.39 and a fruit salad at my Nan's. Tonight I only ate 3 breaded chicken strips and emptied the rest of my plate in the bin as it was chips and homemade...

After having my hba1c taken today I finally received my contour USB blood meter :):) along with the 10 test strips that came with it. I was disappointed with my first reading of 25.3 at lunch. I've just tested them now and they are slightly better with a reading of 16.8. Maybe they will be...

According to http://www.prevention.com/content/which-healthier-raw-nuts-vs-roasted-nuts there is no difference in carbs for both types, but roasted nuts are slightly high in calories and contains 1g of more fat.

I still don't understand why bread, potato, pasta and anything with grains are off limits. I come from a family (1/4 italian) where these foods are considered as everyday food. I'm sorry guys but I don't think I have what it takes to low carb and eat high fat:(. I've just binged on a lot of...

I am already hit by a disability in the form of a speech impediment and what I took to the cinema is what I normally take except for the diet coke as I normally buy normal coke and adjusting to the taste of diet coke is struggling for me. I cook for myself when my parents are out and don't get...

I am 24, 25 in a few months. I never thought about recording my blood sugar levels. I just keep them on my meter. My doctor looks like a dinosaur and is just one of the worst. I know that my diet is not good and my family aren't that supportive as they all think that carbs are healthy...
