137 (7.6). Not ideal but understandable considering the long lie-in I had. And celebrating my first night without a hypo since switching to Levemir!

5.4 is a perfect bloodsugar?

93 (5.2) this morning, but after another hypo at 2am. Will continue reducing levemir… think I’ve nearly got it. Happy Friday everyone

107 (5.9) this morning but that’s after a hypo at 5am. Had several hypos throughout the past three days… starting to bring me down emotionally. Hoping I’ll work out this change to levemir sooner rather than later.

82 (4.6) this morning, but I was in a hypo from 2am to 4am and too tired to acknowledge my alarm and fix it. #life of a teacher #still adjusting to a switch to levemir Happy Wednesday all

Mine is 7.3% (56) Little depressing reading all these replies… everyone on around 5% I have a high intensity job. I eat two slices of brown bread for breakfast, an apple for mid-morning snack, soup and a bread roll for lunch, and something similar for dinner. Despite being incredibly focused...

Good afternoon, I am a type one diabetic who has been diabetic for 31 years. My current HBa1c is 7.3% and I am trying to reduce this before pregnancy. I have been on Novorapid plus a single dose of 19 units of toujeo in the morning. I was having severe bloodsugar drops between 2am and 6am...

Hello I'm 29 years old. I have a cholesterol level of 200, with HDL of 102 and LDL 87. I am a healthy weight and eat a very healthy diet. My doctor is very quick to prescribe strong medicines and I feel I need a second opinion on his recent decision. He has told me to start taking statins...

Thank you everyone, very useful advice.

Good evening I have been prescribed two sachets of an antibiotic (Fosfomycin) in powder which have to be dissolved in water and drunk. I have seen that the second ingredient is saccharose and the third is glucose. Is this a sachet of sugar? There is no further information apart from this...

Good morning I've been eating a reduced carb diet for about two weeks now. It's making bloodsugar control much easier. (I don't want to eliminate carbs altogether, just manage them) Yesterday I had a plate of lentils and chorizo for dinner which caused a huge bloodsugar spike. It seems that...

:( 9.0 this morning, because I overcompensated for a low when I went to bed. Half a tiny biscuit can make a world of difference. Woke up feeling exhausted as a result.

Good morning :) 4.5 this morning

Good morning. I was diagnosed aged 1 and have memories of running around the kitchen table screaming when it was injection time! Must be a nightmare for any parent. Well done for your strength and perseverance. Have you thought about trying a reward chart? Every time he allows you to do his...

Oops. 7.4 this morning :( Had an unusual meal (Lebanese food with half a pitta bread and a falafel) and 2 glasses of wine last night so clearly miscalculated the insulin.

I went out yesterday and did a big low carb shop. Had salmon, avocados and nuts for dinner last night - SO much easier than my usual plate of rice and perfect bloodsugars afterwards. Toast for breakfast and no carbs for lunch. So far, so good. No highs or lows. I really appreciate all of this...

Hi, I am 28 years old and exactly the same story. I was diagnosed aged 1. I have had high hba1c's all my life (usually around 8 or 9) and bloodsugars that swing up and down wildly. I liked to pretend I wasn't diabetic when I was a teenager and have never paid enough attention to it. Luckily I...

Gold Rush

4.3 this morning.
