I usually eat 70-80 carbs a day. I have tested it against another meter I have and the difference between both is 0.3mmol. Hypo symptoms usually start just before I head below 3.8. Can take a long time to get sugars back into a safe range too.. I can drink 500ml of Pepsi and still only be...

Hi, For the past 3 days I have been experiencing a lot of hypos, where even 2 units with a meal suddenly drops me significantly! I’ve made absolutely no changes and don’t seem to be unwell.. i can usually feel when my ketones are a little higher as I consistently get dry mouth and feel a...

thanks for the reply Juicy, My symptoms and previous results point towards under active thyroid however they wanted to rule out hashimotos. I just feel so dreadfully sluggish all the time, like I have absolutely no energy in my body. So I’m eager to start treatment! Although not comforting that...

Hi, So following my last post regarding my thyroid I’m going through some testing at the moment and should have results today. I’ve noticed since I’ve become aware of the thyroid issue that my levels have become increasingly difficult to manage as the weeks have gone on. I expect stress and...

Hi all, Doing my lunchtime bolus and noticed white flecks floating in my insulin, now I know this means don’t use it but the damage was already done as I noticed when removing the needle. i don’t know how many days it had been like this and have been using it fine. BG’s have been a tiny bit...

Hi, does anyone here have issues with thyroid? My test results in 2020 were all normal however I just had results back on my recent blood tests and it’s showing my TSH levels being 7.22 (normal 0.35-5.5) they want to repeat a blood test in 3 months. I’ve checked the symptoms for hypothyroid...

Well, my sensitivity seems to have just come back with a bang this evening so it’s not been fun.

It’s only come on with the illness and with me now taking double the novarapid and 50% more bolus my DN is concerned my sensitivity could come back and I could end up with dangerous lows. Once I shift the illness my sensitivity should return, but without knowing for sure if it was covid or not...

I have tried doing corrections before bed but end up waking needing to correct again 4 hours later

I’ve been prebolusing half hour before food rather than the usual 15-20. But the difference is minimal, overnight I’m spiking to 25 despite eating my evening meal 4 hours prior. Very disheartening, it’s a shame. Yeah my dsn wants to avoid a sudden SnapBack where my sensitivity comes back, I...

Hi, So over Christmas I was struck down with cold/flu which lead me to having no taste or smell, breathlessness, headaches and fevers - multiple covid tests.. all negative. i seem to have recovered for the most part aside from a lingering chesty cough 10 days later.. but my blood sugars still...

Mine is booked for the 29th December

my second covid vax was in may and my booster is due around new year.

I’ve been the same, testing with metre throughout the nice to make sure it’s not my libre acting up. It’s been awful trying to get a good nights sleep amongst the hypos. The daytime ones have been just as bad when they do happen though. Glad I’m not the only person experiencing this, was...

I’ve been experiencing a lot of lows in the past couple of days with the weather dropping colder, have dropped insulin dose accordingly as advised. However I’m still having 2-3 hypos a day which take a long time to recover from, nothing has changed in my life apart from the weather dropping alot...

I feel like the pandemic has caused a lot of uncertainty for a lot of diabetics, I haven’t had bloods done since June 2020. So over a year ago, my control used to be really good but now a lot of the time I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing or how to control it. It can be extremely...

At the moment my control isn’t the best, it’s not terrible but it’s not good either. Having diabetes itself is difficult, some days I can handle it fine, other days I want to tear my hair out whilst screaming ‘why me?!. How about you?

Type 1, 25, diagnosed at 23. Happy to chat!

The antibiotics have kicked in and I’m feeling much much better, adjusted my insulin doses appropriately with the help of a kind out of hours doctor after almost going into DKA Friday evening. Fingers crossed it will be smoother sailing now until my antibiotic course ends.

double checked with meter as my libre said 9.3.
