    C-peptide?

    G'day Anyone know what a C-peptide 551 means. Blood sugar was 4.1 or lower when blood test was done. For some reason the diabetic nurses like to mess me around at the hospital, so I discharged myself. Especially as one said I can't be type 2 because I'm slim yet three different GP's think it...

    Wrongly Diagnosed?

    Have you tried 111, they sent me to a local walk'in centre to see a doctor at 1:30 in the morning recently. . But I'm fortunate enough to live near one. Last year the centre sent me directly to hospital for a lung infection.. Sometimes it's worth swerving your GP.

    Type 1 Blood sugar dropping constantly

    Cheers for the above. I'm still having issues only taking 1 unit of levermir in the morning. Constantly fighting to get my blood sugar up. It was 12 an hour ago, and now 3.9. Same pattern throughout the day after eating. Thought this stuff was supposed to keep your bg level, as it stands it...

    Type 1 Blood sugar dropping constantly

    Just seen another Doctor, who is also a diabetic. That's two different ones on the bounce now, and he recognises my problem, and he says that I'm a type 2 diabetic now, so I should just take one unit of basel in the morning, until they move me onto tablets. I just started off with type 1...

    Type 1 Blood sugar dropping constantly

    Had a mixed grill with chips an hour ago and my blood sugar is 6.5. No rapid either. Does the honeymoon period do that? Can you go seriously hypo during that period? Not sure what else to do other than stop insulin altogether.

    After speaking with a doctor last night he suggested I take 2 Levemir in the morning and evening. Thing is I woke up with a bg of 8.7 and had a biscuit, and then it drops to 3.8bg literally a few minutes later. so I had an apple, a Banana, and a bowl of branflakes, and it rises to 15, 2 hours...

Seems like two slice of brown toast finally got my bg over 10, sure does take awhile though, which my doctor said to be before I got to sleep, problem was I couldn't stay...

    Type 1 Blood sugar dropping constantly

    Hello, I was diagnosed with Diabetes 4 weeks back, though they're treating me a type 1 since my Ketones was 1.7 at the time and I had rapidly lost a lot of weight. My anitbodies have been sent off to Oxford and I'm still waiting, since I seemed to developed it quickly, and the rest of my family...
