Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I had a hypo during the night about 10 days ago, and for the first time collapsed (blood sugar level 2.9 - but I've been lower than this in the past and never collapsed before) . It was a weird sensation - almost like all the muscles and bones were...

Thanks guys for your advice - will run a bit higher than normal for next couple of weeks and see how I go on. After reading your comment Danny I guess I'm feeling grateful that I have 'normal' diabetes- best wishes to you!

Last one was 2.7 - maybe I'm not noticing BS level dropping like I used to so they're maybe a bit lower than before. Again is that normal??

Hi all - I'm type one diabetic, for 18 years, using lantus and humalog insulins. I've noticed recently that I'm taking much longer to recover after a hypo. I used to be back to 'normal' (whatever normal may be!!) after taking a sugary drink or glucotabs in about 5-10 minutes. Now I feel so...

I've just found 'Viv's Diet' so will be trying that for a couple of weeks to see how I get on - already feeling more positive about things - thanks. Ruth

Thanks Rob and MushyPeaBrain :) Back home I know I ate a lot of 'wrong' stuff - eg takeaways, crisps and chocolate and we ate out a lot at pubs/restaurants ... but was so determined when we came to Australia for a year, and being on a restricted budget and chocolate being soooo expensive over...

Hi all - Im new to the site but have been a diabetic for 10 years. I thought I had my diabetes under control but am becoming confused .... help! When first diagnosed I was told I was type 2 and put on Metformin - these did nothing to help and I was quite quickly put on insulin (lantus morning...
