HI Antony thanks for this information as I'm experiencing the same with lantus. Ive experienced 4 hypos this last week, last nights was terrifying so I'm being changed insulin today. In my opinion lantus can and will kill someone, I had to take 90g of carbs to bring my levels up, I honestly...

Not that I know off. Inflamed stomach lining and testing for ulcer.

Thanks Jenny, I will definitely be more vocal if I am ever admitted again. It was my one fear of pain not being managed that delayed me going into hospital. If it happens again I'll make sure the doc is aware and not be robbed off. Thanks again

Hi yes all blood test we're done regular. I had to speak up eventually as I couldn't believe how long I had been kept waiting. Was admitted as a emergency and explained the endoscope could happen at any time that day, by mid evening I repeatedly questioned if it was still happening, in the end I...

I had a ultrasound that didn't show up anything. Was admitted to hospital on Friday after pain was getting worse, endoscope confirmed I have inflammation of the stomach lining. For now I have tabs etc but they have also taken a biopsy. Doc feels the back pain is a separate issue and further...

They 're stumped to be honest. Just process of illumination. I've been put on ulcer tabs as symptoms similar and back at docs on wed. When I thought it was gallbladder I followed the advice to cut out triggers..fat, alcohol, spicy foods etc and it's def helped but not completely. I'll try...

Hi glad I found this thread as I have similar. I was convinced it was gallstones after reading the symptoms online. The pain goes from excruciating to manageable but still with painkillers. Had a scan last wed for stomach and all came back clear. Been put on tabs in case it's ulcer whilst still...

That's who i used too. One of the companies that came out quite competitive and offered the cover we needed was top dog insurance. Good luck.

Thanks guys..appreciated. due to other health issues currently being investigated I am a bit of a insomniac and tend to be on here early hours..thank God for this forum. Bluetit the dka was a game changer for me, had just come back from goa and was progressively getting worse..knew I was in...

Thanks Prem :)

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in 2012 as Type 1 after initially being mis-diagnosed as Type 2. Popped on this forum at diagnoses and on and off over the years (lurking only). Only when I had a severe dka Christmas day 2017 following gastroenteritis, did I start reading the threads regularly...

Type 1

Completed, good luck with your studies

Thanks very much...one less thing to worry about :)

Hi Guys I am off to Goa end Jan and have requested a fridge for Insulin, Just in case there is not any left will a frio wallet suffice, I know i would have to fill it with cool water more often etc but will this do? Any advice welcome Thanks

I think I will have a bash at this at the weekend looks really easy, just taking a note of the low carb recipes before I start

Thanks Hallii I have copied the tests you mentioned and I will ask the doc on the 17th, the range she mentioned was one test, she said 6 weeks ago it was 13-15 and is the Hba1c test I am on average bg 16 in the morning and mid 20's during the day, just hope its sorted soon. I think for my next...

Hi All just back from my 1st review and it didnt go well, I am sat here in tears so frustrated. The nurse said my 3 monthly bloods showed I had an average of 11-13 but last friday was 18 on testing, my weight has dropped by 6 kg since oct. They want to increase my metformin to 3 a day which id...

Thanks guys, I was just so annoyed that the nurse assumed I was type 2, I did have blood tests on friday so hope this will determine what type I am but then why didnt the first lot of tests do this, with my levels so high im just worried im not on the correct dose or been diagnosed correctly, i...
