In my opinion I believe you should be able to do what you need to do to stay alive, at the table!! I have 3 children and I have always involved them in my diabetes care! I always tried to shield them from seeing the horror of a severe hypo but I failed in that! I understand that people can have...

Didn't mean it to sound like we shouldn't keep lots of sugar out of our children's diets and of course exercise is important but everything in moderation. I took it from this sugar tax that the government believes its the sugar intake alone that is the biggest problem to society becoming...

I am in full agreement with this sentiment , I was diagnosed almost 30 years ago and didn't take any time to learn about this life changing illness. Subsequently I am still learning!

Why is childhood obesity put down to sugar intake alone? Government pushing for cartoons to be taken off advertising sugary foods and for parents to make children exercise more. If the government had a crack down on gangs hanging around areas for decent children to go to exercise parents would...

I was at a talk yesterday, my consultant thinks that the libre will be funded by NHS as a replacement for finger prick tests as the cost would be less but you still have to finger prick test before driving etc! There is funding for CGM but only in certain circumstances! He was hopeful that the...

I agree with mahola, I have used cgm on a trial basis and yes it made me more aware of what my bloods were doing! But to expect more from the NHS is impractical. I would agree to maybe getting the cost subsidised as a compromise but not the whole cost on top of everything else they do for us...

As with everything it's about personal preference. You can always check bs after a glass, allow time to get into system, to see if either has an effect on your bloods. Enjoy finding out!! :-)

Years ago, I had a machine hooked up to me that allowed my dsn to see what my bloods were doing while I was asleep. Maybe if u speak to ur endo this could b something to consider for you? Hope you get to the bottom of this phenomenon!

Hear hear. That's why this forum is so good, we all get it! No eye rolls just ears to listen (metaphorically speaking)

Steven told a rude tale. Heart

I kno, all good now tho 8.3 post breakfast

I've been diagnosed T1 for 28 years, it's my anniversary today!! I've been badly controlled for most of that time. Most recent a1c was 8.3mmol but that's only over past few years was always 13+ before that! This disease we battle every day is hard work, so celebrate every victory even if it's...

6am was 2.6 :-( I've had a fit in the past at this level, hypos are strange creatures dontcha think?

Done it but I'm type1 sorry if not applicable

3.4

Thank you

Coffee also has an effect on bs. Can I just ask all low carbers, are any of you T1?

Have u tested your bg since fixing your hypo? If you over corrected you may have a high blood glucose now, which could make you feel like not eating!

I've been diabetic 27 years I ignored it for 14 years only takin insulin regularly didn test bg at all then it killed me! Paramedics revived me, that was the kick I needed to take it seriously, please don't let it kill you before u take it seriously! I was really lucky!!

Just want to put the spin on this, though everyone doing so well, we do have insulin to 'fix' any slip in resistance. It is Christmas after all!!!! Enjoy life as much as we can!
