    Possible Hypos?

    Just as a side note last year I was on the lean in fifteen diet. I had advacado bacon and egg and I didn't feel 100% afterwards. I remember as I was taking my son swimming on holiday and I had to get out of the pool and test. I was around 6 and confused.

    Possible Hypos?

    Stupid question but are you having any carbs? Because if you are counting the carbs and correcting for the ones that sugar you will feel awful and will be dropping faster than expected.

    Possible Hypos?

    I feel like this most of the time when i eat normally, I count the carbs eat and adjust sometimes as soon as I've eaten I feel like I've had too much insulin and I'm going low.

    Just been asked to arrange a visit to the works doctor.

    Well I saw the works physician today he says he will arrange a consultants appointment because I'm having way too many hypos.

    Just been asked to arrange a visit to the works doctor.

    Out of interest would it be prudent to ask about pump therapy with this works doctor? I have recently been discharged from my specialist nurse who told me that good control patients are what the pump specialist looks for as they are interested in looking after there bloods. However the new nurse...
