It's 3 months down the line that it's started but when I have looked up, some of them say that people take allergic reactions to them years after first starting to use them. I am going to phone my diabetes team in the morning and see what they think Thank you for your comments

Just thinking of every possibility. Only been diagnosed for 3 months. I use levemir and have seen a lot of people complaining that they are allergic or that I leaves them with sore lumps.. I have been taking antihistamines for the past week since it first started and don't seem to be much...

Not so much pain. It's uncomfortable. A bit itchy but not to bad. It's just spreading everywhere now. I have it all over the soles of my feet aswell..

I'm type 1 diabetic. Started to get quite a lot of spots on my hands and arms last week. It's got worse and pretty my whole upper body is covered in them now. I have been to my GP who reckons it's just eczema but the cream she gave me has been no help whatsoever. I am going back tomorrow to...

Just an update.. Well I checked it at midnight last night and it was at 7.2 Then at 3am it was at 7.0. And 6am it was still 7.0. And now it is at6.8. I still feel like I have a hangover this morning aswell. Doesn't make sense to me.. stupid diabetes [emoji1363] Thank you all again

Thank you. I will set an alarm every few hours through the night tonight and see what my BG is at. I have had hypo during the night before and wake up with it. Just find it strange that my levels are always fine when I wake up in the morning and check them. I wouldn't mind feeling hungover if...

Just curios if anyone else gets like this: I have been type 1 for a few months. I have managed to get my sugars to stay predominately between 5-8 With the occasional misjudged hypo or slight high. Generally I feel okay, always quite tired but don't know if that's the diabetes or just me in...

Ah okay that makes sense. As long as it makes up its mind what it is doing one way or the other. It's just making things very difficult at the moment. Lol. Diabetes is such a wonderful thing.... [emoji58]

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a few months ago. All was going as well as could be expected up until 2 weeks ago. I have been carb counting and found that 1:10 has been suitable for me. However over the last couple of weeks I have been having around 3 hypos a day, almost after every...

Thank you. I will give it a try. If you don't mind me asking, how does beer affect your BG Levels?

Anyone got any recommendations for low carb beer? Has anyone noticed if it makes a lot of difference having this instead of regular beer. I amnt bothered about the alcohol content so much, I just enjoy having a beer but don't want to spike my BG quite so much. I'm going to go and have a look...

Thank you for the advice! I'm not necessarily going to have 10 pints I just want worse case scenario as it's easy to lose track of how much I have had. I'm going to have a few in the house tomorrow night and check BG Every half hour and see what effect it has on me. Cheers folks

Thank you very much

Not really, never used to bother me. Not necking them back in half an hour. It will be over the course of a day. Just unsure if I need to treat the carbs in alcohol the same as everything else or if it's different due to the fact it's alcohol. Just want to know other peoples experiences.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice regarding insulin whilst drinking alcohol. I don't drink very often but I am planning on going out the bar next week to play some pool with some mates. I will probably have around 10 pints of lager. ( I know this is more than he recommended...

I was diagnosed as type 1 almost 2 weeks ago, a week before I was diagnosed my vision got so bad due to sugar levels I had to go and get glasses just to temporarily get about my normal day. The doctor said my vision will likely get worse as my sugar comes down but then it will get better. My...
