Update for you all... I had an appointment with my consultant (my regular consultant much to my relief). He said bringing my HbA1c down to 53 by summer was very exaggerated, he checked my HbA1c while I was there and it has came down to 84. He's very happy with this and not concerned about my...

Thank you for all your replies, I have managed (with some begging) to get a cancelled appointment with a (not my regular) consultant on Thursday, so hopefully all questions will be answered then, I'll let you all know how it goes....

She didn't say. She just said if my Hb1c was 111 then three month later it was 60-70 she would be concerned about the damage I would be causing to my eyes and my kidneys, and my blood sugars would be lower so I'd feel better in myself but my body wouldn't be healthy. She didn't say whether it...

I have just had results back from my most recent eye test and I'm waiting for an appointment with the eye hospital for further investigation... I've noticed a difference in my vision over the past 2 weeks. I cant focus on things in the distance, this is why it upset me when my DSN said it would...

@himtoo thank you, this has just annoyed me to be honest, why is my pre midwife assisting me to get my HB1c down as soon as possible, she specialises in diabetes so surely she knows the risks? I have an appointment with her on Tuesday, I really feel like I dont want to go as I really dont trust...

I am going to try and give as much detail as I can without making things to confusing if I can, bare with me. I haven't looked after my diabetes for a long time, and I mean years. I used to go months and months without even checking my sugars let alone taking any insulin with meals, the only...

I switched to Levemir 2 weeks ago. My BMs were up and down for a week straight, then woke up feeling very unwell. Checked my sugars which were 12, my ketones were 3, took insulin and tried to eat, couldnt keep anything down, ended up being sent to hospital after speaking to a DSN. I was home by...

Thank you for all of your replies. I just need to get my head around this not being an easy task, when is it ever. I've done ok today. Managed to keep between 4-10mmols which is quite an achievement for me. Although I've felt ****** and low all day, but I'll get used to this the same as I got...

I tried 1:10 and my 2 hour check was 5mmols higher than my previous BM which is why I moved it up to 2 I'm fully prepared for a string of guess work until I get it right, after speaking with my DSN last week I was at a stage where just taking 2 units of novo rapid with my meals regardless of the...

I have had diabetes for 18 years, the past 5 years it has been very badly controlled, for reasons I don't really want to dive into at the moment. I have only been taking lantus 44 units at 10pm. I haven't been taking any novo rapid at all. I have now been married for 9 months and we'd like to...

In you're information pack you should have got a 0800 contact number. I'd give them a ring and explain what's happened they'll probably send you out a replacement sensor.
