Had a look online typical values for scotch egg carb content is 16-18g per egg, would be a couple of units of fast acting for me

Personally I’m not bothered about size as I use my phone or are you not talking about physical size?

To be honest being 7 instead of 5 isn't going to cause you many problems , readings constantly above 10 will cause issues , the stress that some people get into because they try to keep bs in a tight range can add to the fact that sugars raise , I speak from over 40 years of experience 30 years...

Agree with others see doctor so you can get an appointment with a podiatrist

I would go to your doctors the receptionist should be able to tell you or the doctor themselves . I suppose DSN should know too if you have one or can get hold of one , my personal experience of DSN is they are about as much use as a handbrake in a canoe but that’s not always the case apparently

I totally agree back in the day ( god that makes me sound old oh aye I am old hehehe) when in hospital and you had a hypo two teaspoons of sugar in a glass of milk was the remedy sometimes old ways are the best

I’ve done the same myself , only advice I can give is just keep taking bs and keep sweet stuff at hand , if your on the libre system set your low alarm a bit higher than normal it’ll give you a bit of a safety blanket

Mini cans of full sugar Coke Cola it’s 15 g of fast acting carbs plus it’s not a lot to drink , like you I only drink diet but always have Plenty of mini cans of non diet Coke Cola just in case of hypos , always have them at side of bed , since I’ve had Libre system I don’t get many hypos as I...

I think as type 1 I can eat anything which is true I think that keeping your HbA1c at an acceptable level is knowing your eating habits and how you to use your insulin to keep your bs in range , I try to follow a “ healthy “ diet and I take things moderately , but I do know how foods affect my...

I do remember going for a bank loan years ago , the guy was obviously trying to sell life insurance also , I told him I was type 1 diabetic the reaction I got was like I peed on his kids , needless to say I never got life insurance , he did tell me diabetes was a “” no no “ with regard life...

I understand your concern but how is abbot going to know , I’ve been putting mine in other places than the relatively small area abbot suggest and have never had a problem . I’ve checked against a finger prick and results are good as are my Hb1ac results, also whenever I’ve requested a...

it depends on what you are eating ! For example if I eat pasta I have to take my insulin 3 hours after I’ve eaten it otherwise my insulin has “ run out “ before the pasta has taken effect.like all things with diabetes it’s all down to the, individual , generally 4 hrs should see some reduction ...

same symptoms as all that have been stated, total overall feeling of absolute **** , I was told when I was diagnosed that you could go into unconsciousness with both high and low bs . low takes about 1/2 an hour high about 10 days not sure if that’s right but you know what I mean , I know I...
