Thank you

Thank you that is a good point, will discuss with my gp. I've been in 2's n 3's and not really noticed. Was in hosp for something separate and med staff noticed difference in my demeanour when in lower 3 range, but I wasn't aware.

Diagnosed in Jan 18 with HB1AC 83. In February saw consultant for 1st time, everything was new and meeting a blur, received next apt date for July. During this time more educated on condition through forum and other means, so felt I would be more prepared on next visit. Had to ring hospital for...

Okay due to confusion actually rang and spoke to the lady I use for massages, she says it down to you, if you were to be scratched or easily bruised during treatment it will take longer to heal etc, but if you sign their form she is happy to treat. Rang diabetes nurse at hosp, she has never...

5mths in and i still consider being newly diagnosed with LADA 1.5 diabetes. Well tit bits of what I think is very important info, have filtered through, but not from medical professionals. For instance, I found out this week when injecting stomach, we all know to alternate sides, but did you...

Totally agree with you and second that diabetic philosophy of life... I don't know much except to say it's very harmful to the blood circulation which can be fatal, only found out yesterday so haven't looked into it.

I test premeal and was given specific times of day to test when discharged from hosp. I'm on insulin so not sure if that makes a difference. Use jazz machine given free on discharge, was paying for meds but doctor has since sorted out exemption so all meds are now free.

Libre gives print outs!! That's handy don't think mine does or not that anyone's told me...a reason to consider switching. Your information is an eye opener, beginning to understand how intricate a matter this condition is. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks Derry will follow your advice. It's the first time encountering the issue, we'll good to know it's not the battery!

Thanks Cherry...with not being long diagnosed the Jazz monitor is the only one used, but I've read many posts where the libre is commonly used. Is it a better monitor in your opinion?

Had lunch around 1pm today, was late by an hour for dinner usually have around 6pm, so had hunger pangs and was a little worried fasting reading would be low. It was 7.9 which was unusually high, normally would be around low 5's. So decided to take it again, now dropped to 5.4 in a minute...so...

Hi Leigh lots of good advice already given. Newly diagnosed in Jan where my reading was 40+ by time I left hosp my levels had dropped just below 30. It took 3wks to get my levels below 10, the diabetic nurse would ring each week and my insulin would be adjusted. 3mths on I'm between 4 - 7.5. It...
