I have spent the whole morning trying to get out of a massive hypo after i had injected 18 units of Lantus. Waking levels at 6am were 4.2 and after 30 minutes of being up i took the Lantus. Ten minutes later I was just picking up something from the floor when i noticed i'm feeling dizzy and can...

Last night i woke up around 2am sweating a lot and feeling terrible. Libre 2 showed 2.5, test strip even 2.1. Looks like i haven't heard the alarm, maybe because i'm at the moment on a 7.5 mg morphin plaster, Cocodamol, Pregabalin, Amitriptyline and Ramipril. Libre showed nonstop hypo from 9pm...

This week i came back from an amazing 5 days trip to Nice. My glucose levels were very good because i walked and walked, cycled and even joined a senior yoga group on Castle Hill. :) I remember being so afraid before my first holiday on basal/bolus regime. For over a year i hadn't been out of...

Morning all, Last night i have experienced the most scary hypo since i started insulin. I have noticed during the whole day i needed a bit less insulin. For lunch around 1.30 i took 3 units Novorapid and for dinner at 6pm i took another 3 units. Half an hour later i noticed to my horror levels...

On Sunday i'm going on my first holiday since i am doing the whole T1 program. I'm so anxious, stressed and even down, i nearly wish i could stay at home. The diabetic kit is ready to go in the hand luggage, i have everything double or triple backed up. Yesterday i have applied a new Libre...

On Thursday i went to see a nurse at my GP surgery and told her the toe is now much more painful than after surgery two weeks ago and it's throbbing so badly. I also feel very ill in general, the glucose levels are all over the place and even socks on my foot hurt me. She said there is no...

Hiya all, Does anyone know the clinic ID for the Royal Free diabetes clinic please? All i could find online is the code for the paedriatic diabetes clinic. Since my diabetes nurse has left the hospital and my consultant is on leave, i have called admin, switchboard, have left a few messages...

Morning all, hope you're well! One week ago i had a partial nail avulsion one the big toe of my left foot. They have used the chemical phenol to prevent the nail from regrowing. The surgery went well, i followed all the instructions and on Friday i had the first redressing in the clinic...

I have ordered three sensors from Abbotts website on the 9th of January. The full amount showed as pending immediately in my bank account. Since yesterday the money is back in my account and i still haven't received the sensors. Status shows "on hold" in my Abbott account. This morning i have...

I am just recovering from a really bad, nasty bug. Yesterday i suddenly started vomiting, had terrible diarhoe and felt incredible weak. In the evening the temperature was 38.5 degrees and i was unable to watch TV, read or answer my messages. I had taken 3 units Novorapid but threw up dinner...

I have read about this error here on the forum and now it happened to me this morning. At 5am i noticed to my horror i have injected 11 units of Novorapid instead of Lantus. I'm taking Lantus now in the morning because of night hypos, at the moment i only have to take 11 units. Usually 4 units...

Since two month i'm using the Libre and could get sensors of Weldrick's online pharmacy. They have stopped selling them and since one week i'm running around like crazy to get some. I live in London, have tried the biggest pharmacies in the West End and smaller ones in Islington and Camden...

Hi All, Hope you're doing well this weekend. I got so much information from this forum although i don't post that often. I have started injecting Novorapid on Friday and the only information i have is from the internet, specially this forum. The nurse in the hospital just said, she wants to see...

Hi All, So, six years ago was diagnosed with T2, put on diet only although at this time my sugar levels once went up to 30 and stayed in their teens and twenties for quiet a while. Metformin and Gliclazide followed and i was constantly very ill and very tired. I lost a lot of weight and that of...

Hi all, Today i have been for the first time to my diabetes doctor because she is specialised in that field according to my regular GP in the surgery. She asked me how i am, told me i need a flu and pneumonia vaccine and then rushed me to the loo for a sample. I told her, my levels are now...

Maybe some of you have seen my other posts. Last year my doctor said i had Impaired fasting glycaemia. 10 days ago i tested my bs because i felt tired all the time, went a lot to the loo and lost weight even after eating tons of cakes and sweets. The levels went up to over 30 and i had to go to...

Hi all again, I hope you are all in good spirits and life looks good. I just came back from a very disappointing first appointment with the diabetic nurse. She was mainly just reading from a script on her screen. :roll: She just asked if i knew about diabetes and went on with her monologue. I...

Hi all, I'm having the shock of my life after testing myself over the last few hours. The levels are between 25-30. I even tested on two different meters. About 10 month ago i had a few blood tests and the doctor told me, i have Impaired fasting glycaemia, NOT diabetes. I still got a glucose...

Hi all, I'm Enzina and still refusing to believe i'm having problems with blood glucose...I have ignored it now for a while but that didn't help. :roll: I feel silly and scared. I will ask a question in a minute on another thread. Thanks for reading.
