Is it a good app or are there better ones out there, don’t mind paying for it if it’s a good one. [emoji16]

Hi guys, is there a free app to download to keep track of the carbs? I’ve checked for carbs and cals and it’s £5... TIA [emoji16]

What does everyone eat to stabilise a hypo?? TIA

Yes, I know thank you

Plus with low potassium it causes cramps, irregular heart beats etc... I’m not talking a major difference mine was only 5.3 but it was enough for the gp to do another BT ‍♂️

No potassium?? Anything under 2.5 is life threatening??!! Potassium levels should be between 3.4 to 5.2 I think....

Hi guys, I’m not sure if it’s related to the diabetes, but has anyone else had a bit more potassium in their bloods than normal??

Thank you! I’ve been reading quite a bit past couple of days about the meds I’m currently on, so if my idea works... then great, if not... could be like you said, different doctor

They’re not going to give me insulin while my body is still producing some, unfortunately that’s the way it is at the moment.... But I’ve an idea that could work. Thanks for the info, appreciate it

Before I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 months ago I had been at the gym for the past 19 years or so so I know what’s needed to be done about protein intake fats, bcca’s etc, Like I said earlier it’s a bit of catch 22 with high bloods feeding off any muscle gains that could possibly be made...

My consultant said they want to squeeze out as much as possible of what’s left. My medication will stop working, but when, who knows??!! All I know is that I was told when it does I’ll be on insulin

At the moment my body is still producing insulin, I think the consultant said about 10% of the cells are left are still producing, the medication will “squeeze” What’s left out of them

They know how high my bloods can and have been, they know I’ve been in the 24’s 25’s etc before the tablets, the consultant said I’ve definitely got type 1 and also said that the medication I’m currently on will eventually stop working! Then I’ll be insulin dependant, but as long as the...

I’ve read that they do and have given gliclazide to treat type 1... someone mentioned last night it was LADA, something like that

Thanks, was 15 stone while going to the gym, I’m now down to 13st 3 lbs.... my clothes are too big and while the medication is working they won’t put me on insulin! But if I eat too much the my levels go too high, which in turn contributes to me losing more weight! ‍♂️ can’t win at the mo! But...

I haven’t even got a sharps box ‍♂️
