How do you know how to cut your insulin? Ive been type 1 for 41 years and was always told I needed carbs. It seems weird to me to suddenly cut them out, wont my insulin (as I need so much) cause me to be unconcious all the time? I take 45 units of Hypurin mix in the morning along with 5 units of...

45+. I had a terrible GP back then and he rang after my visit to the surgery and said "I'm just ringing to see if you're still alive" aww how nice of him thinks me, until he said "the lab rang and said your blood glucose reading was 45+". I felt fine which was scary.

Sorry for your loss.

Your blood sugar hit 30 after a few mouthfuls of Pepsi? Wow, did they forget to add the water to the syrup? At my KFC the drinks machines are right infront of you so I suppose all you can do is watch them go to the machines. Or specify "it must be diet" when ordering.

I have a 3 year driving licence, which runs out in 2 weeks. I have found if you schedule an appointment with your diabetes consultant 2 months before you receive the renewal letter and get them to say in the clinic letter (if true) that they have no problem with you driving, your eyes are fine...

Yes mine too. I want to slap them. It usually comes with a "face" too. I was having some ice cream when I was out with a group I joined, this male sitting next to me said " I thought you were diabetic?", so I said "and?", he said "why are you eating that then?". MYOB :evil: Would anyone go up to...

Sorry to upset everyone, but I get 12 boxes of 50 test strips a month
