Blood tests have come back, pancreas is not producing anything. Doctor wants blood tests repeating. I’m to see DSN again in a month.

I got an email from Abbott today saying my order is on hold due to demand. I’m on my last sensor for my Dexcom. DSN doesn’t want me to order anymore Dexcom sensors , she wants me to try the libre.

I’ve just tried to download hedia it keeps crashing. Won’t even open

Just been given libre reader by DSN, I just have to get the sensors. I’m so annoyed that the app won’t work with iPhone 6s. I’m waiting on results of blood tests to determine what type of diabetic I am. DSN thinks I’m type 1.5 in honeymoon phase of being type 1. I’ve had pancreatitis 9 times in...

Been to see DSN, had to have more blood tests because there’s a high chance that I’m now type 1.5 in honeymoon phase of being type 1. DSN thinks that because I have had pancreatitis 9 times in 6 months my pancreas is now not producing any insulin hence why my levels are so up and down. She’s...

Just had another flare up of pancreatitis. I’m having so many hypos. My CGM alerted me about a dozen times last night that my blood sugar was going low. I tried dry toast and orange juice but vomited it back up rather quick. Doctors came out twice. Last doctor gave me a glucose injection which...

No my diabetes has not been investigated since I had pancreatitis, I’ve had it now eight times within six months.

So yesterday (Sunday) went out for lunch with Mum and sister, checked BG before lunch, 6.5. Took 8 units novorapid and 16 humulin I. Had lunch, falafel burger about 46 grams carbs, very soon after eating began to feel really light headed, extremely dizzy and blurred vision, CGM said BG was 9.9...

I’m on rivaroxaban, been told this neither lowers or makes blood sugar higher. Blood sugar levels were initially ok after first being put on it, it’s only in the last six months since having eight separate bouts of pancreatitis that the levels have started to go funny.

Yeah had all my insulin changed several times, doses adjusted, had metformin raised then lowered then raised again, been put on gliclazide then taken off it, been put on byetta then taken off it, had insulin changed recently, tried a low carb diet, tried the dash diet, I check my insulin carb...

Yes I’m on blood thinners but been told they won’t affect blood sugars. Had lots of early morning hypos when I was in hospital before xmas, had no blood thinners for two weeks. Levels went so low I had to have IV glucose.

I’ve never had a C peptide test, think I’m going to have to have one soon, blood sugar levels are all over the place, sometimes it’s above 27, other times it’s as low as 2 or 3. I control my carb intake, I have now got to take more novorapid before food than I used to. I’m having lots of hypos...

I think I’m type 1.5 I’m having real difficulties keeping my blood sugar stable. I’m having to take more of my novorapid after I’ve eaten. DSN wants to change my long acting insulin. I’m self funding a CGM because of all the hypos I’m having. I’m looking to self fund a insulin pump because when...

Went on the expert course, was diagnosed in 2012, only when I changed doctors did I get a DSN, a consultant and got a place on the expert course, going on a three hour carb awareness course next week. I’m having lots of hypos so I have got to see my DSN about change of insulin. Just got a self...

Diakat, Mum looks after my hypo kit at the moment because I have a frozen shoulder and can only use one arm, I can’t open gluco juice on my own. She’s helping me with all my medication till I have my physio

Sometimes the hypos go as low as two or three, usually they are about four. When I had my pulmonary embolism and was in ICU I was on pumped insulin, four units of I think it was humulog every hour and my blood sugars stayed between seven and eight, didn’t change much even after food, as soon as...

I follow a low carb diet, I don’t think I’ve ever had a c peptide test. Catapillar, I do take insulin Bolus, I have novorapid breakfast, lunch and dinner, dose depending on what I’m eating. My insulin doses have been changed several times but I’m still not improving, I had a hypo yesterday...

Hi I’m a type two, diagnosed in 2012, I’m getting quite low blood sugars early in the morning. DSN has lowered my humulin I but with no improvement. When I was in ICU and had an insulin pump my blood sugar never changed much so I’m thinking I’m going to have to self fund a pump. If anyone has...
