Hello, Just wondering whether any of you (ladies) - have raised BG levels during your most fertile days/ovulation? I have PCOS and don’t always ovulate with every cycle. Ovulation sticks are useless for me (even months I have ovulated in the past they have not detected it). I am having...

Evening all, My current TSH4 is 0.1 and T4 is 25 10 weeks ago my TSH4 was 11.4 and my T4 was 14- so my Thyroxine dose was increased from 100 to 125mg daily. My GP has asked me to decrease my dose back to 100mg. As he said that a TSH4 of 0.1 is abnormal? And T4 of 25 is way to high. Does...

My nurse has asked me to test 1 hour post meals and record my BG levels (pre-conception advice). Does that mean 1 hour from the moment I started eating? Or 1 hour from when I gave my pre-meal bolus and tested my BG? Just want to make sure I am doing this accurately.

For the last three days I have been struggling to keep my BG levels in range. No matter how much I corrected with my bolus . I put it down to me being off work and less active as usual. But today I woke up feeling really unwell, sore throat , loss of appetite etc and a BG reading of 10.3...

I am wanting to get back to swimming twice weekly. As the title of my post suggests, I have not done any exercise as such for a long time. I am worried that I will fall back into a spiral of hypo after hypo. Should I be reducing basal/bolus before swimming? What should I expect my BG levels to...

Hello, So basal testing is new to me. Just want to know how people to a basal test when they are on a split dose? Surely the doses overlap at some point? I am on Lantus- taking my morning dose at 7.30am and my evening dose at 10.30pm.
