Hi there, I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in 2019. I had a GAD test recently which showed that it is over 2000 IU. I have also been getting excruciating CRAMP with stiff legs in bed in the early morning often, which includes a different sort of pain to simple cramp, I think, and...

I am not as unwell as I was, and I had even forgotten that I had posted about this previously! Thank you Jaylee. My BG seems quite usual.

Working it out, it is about 31 per bottle....but I do not think it would be accurate to inject on that basis because the taste seems quite sweet. I injected 5 units but BG has remained quite high (for me) despite only taking sips every now and again. I do not have a fever now, but I still have...

I am not feeling well with a heavy cold etc etc, and yet feel I can drink a protein drink. I have some Fortisip, Compact Protein drink. (125 ml) Does anyone know if it is particularly highly glycaemic? And any suggestions as to now many units of Novorapid might work for me? I know it is...

I would be asking for another Type 1 check?

Thank you.

If you want to have constant monitoring with libre, am I right in thinking you can only do this with your smart phone and not your meter?

Yes, thank you.

My neighbour who is also type 1 diabetic has given me a compact protein drink which he says he normally takes four units for .....I've also had 1 unit on top of that because yes at the moment my bg is rather high tonight....for example at 21.50, it was 8.9 and that is high for me.. Since my...

Well, I did wonder about whether it was covid , but I really haven't been with other people recently... so it's hard to think that's what it is...? But I have not been sleeping very well at all the last few nights especially, and I thought it might just be that my immune system has gone low...?

And thank Livinglife for your advice too!

Thank you Nicola. A neighbour has just delivered me a protein drink which I feel is do-able!

I found it really difficult to eat my lunch today because I've felt so unwell with this cold. Would it be okay regarding blood glucose... if I just skipped the evening meal tonight ...because I really don't feel like eating anything?

Thank you Juicyj!

No, I have not had the latest booster nor as far as I am aware, any infection.

oh, okay, thank you.. I did not know that. In that case, it may simply be that that is the cause....?

Hi Ellie, thank you for your response. Yes, I cannot seem to discover a reason for this. I was diagnosed in April 2019, and until now my blood glucose has not been too challenging, so I did wonder about this coming out of the 'so called' honeymoon period, but it is now over three years...

Suddenly my BG is very high overnight in particular, in the morning, and rises quite high before I go to bed, too. My last clinic A1C was 40, 5.8%, yet suddenly I am getting 9s, 10s and even 12s. During the best part of the day, my levels generally seem okay, but on these other times and...

The testing is via libre though clearly I need to do some finger pricks for this--- as it's so odd. It was quite a long time after my shower that the BG was so high which is why I would question whether it was a false reading.

I'm grateful for the advice given several weeks ago, regarding my high morning Libre readings, and as suggested, I adjusted my Levemir by splitting it into 2 units at night, 4 in the morning. At first this worked very well, but this morning I found my BG went up to 9.8 without having eaten or...
