My goodness my GP would be having a fit if mine were that low. I get told off for my 6.5 being too low !!

Yet again for the 3rd year running my Hba1c is 6.5 %. The first year I was told "well done - great", for the past two years I`ve been told that it is too LOW and have to have it repeated in 4 months time. I think I should be praised for keeping it so constant. Why do they keep moving the...

My highest reading was 61 when I was first diagnosed as a Type 3 !! My lowest has been 2.8. The worrying thing is I have no symptoms between a reading of 10+ and a reading of 2.8. I keep it stable by regular testing every day.

Yes, I have been told that Type 3 diabetes is caused by trauma to the pancreas (in my case pancreatitis). People who have had their pancreas damaged in other ways (car accidents etc) can also be diagnosed with Type 3.

I have just read your post and would like to relate what happened to me.A few months after having pancreatitis I had a night when I got up 16 times in the night to wee. The next day I felt terrible and my sight was very blurred. I knew something was wrong so I phoned my neighbour she immediately...

Paul, I don`t know how a hypo feels either as worryingly I had a reading of 2.8 before lunch and I felt no different from when I have readings of 7/8. My readings in the morning are normally around 7/8.

I deveolped diabetes after having acute pancreatitis nearly a year ago. I was told I was Type 1. A few weeks ago I saw my diabetes nurse and she was very pleased with me. She sent me a copy of the notes that were sent to my GP from that meeting. I noticed that she had put that I was Type 3...

Hi Nigel, Yes I had a couple of slices of toast before I went to bed !! My BS was fine the next morning

Thanks for all your replies. I`m pleased to report that the meal went very well and my BS before bed was 4.1. I had 4 small grilled chicken wings for a starter and the lighter option pasta with salad and did my injection when the food arrived. :D

Hi, just to report that my hair is growing back. It`s a bit frizzie and soft at the mo but is definitely thicker. It`s made me feel so much better now. I think I was becoming paranoid !!!

Hi, next week I will be going to an Italian restaurant. It will be my first meal out since being diagnosed as Type 1 (June 2011). The meal is booked for 7 o`clock and I normally eat at 6. I presume it will be ok for me to inject before my meal even though it will be a bit later than normal. My...

Thanks for your replies. I`m pleased to report that my hair loss has really slowed down and I`ve got frizzy bits growing through. I had a blood test for underactive thyroid when I was in hospital and this came back negative. I am also taking Creon an enzyme to help with my digestion after I had...

Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (beginning of June 2011) after having pancreatitis. I am coping with my diet and injections but my hair has been falling out and has become very thin. My doctor has told me that it is the body`s way of shutting down non essential things...

Hello everyone, I am newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes - diagnosed in early June 2011 after having pancreatitis. I seem to be coping quite well with my diet and injections but my hair has been falling out and has become quite thin. My doctor has told me that this is a normal reaction for the...
