    FBG going up but all else ok?

    I'm assuming you're referring to Fasting blood gucose (FBG). Maybe if you ate a low carb meal, and nothing sweet for supper followed by some water, several hours before you went to bed, so as to not need to be getting up for the loo at night, you might find that helps bring the FBG down, then...

    New to insulin

    Hi!Are you able to check you glucose level on your meter? Because if your blood sugar it's high and has been high a lot then you may be dehydrated and should try drinking some water. If you had food with quite a lot of sugar or generally high in carbohydrate your blood sugar could have got very...

    Seeing red - sugar levels 32 -hypo

    Hi yes typical symptoms of serious, possibly acute hypoglycemia. This results in acute neurological dysfunction, the patient is aware many functions are failing, the body puts out huge amounts of adrenaline in an attempt to raise blood sugar. They are afraid, trying to protect themselves, aware...

    New symptoms.

    Amazing to hear about your clever dogs, my sheep have similar skills, and my cats used to know when I was sick, sadly passed away now. Yes it's quite possible to go hypo without knowing. I once experienced no symptoms except realising my actions were nonsensical, i.e. running a bath, putting on...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I was diagnosed in 2003, it was never specified which type, the diagnosis was diabetes with rebound hypoglycemia. My two hr value on OGTT was 15.5mmol I then went on to having a fitting hypo. Fasted for 3 days results in progressive hypoglycemia, it's a specific test for insuloma. Anyhow I have...

    Type 1 Antibiotics type 1

    Try a low carb meal for supper, but you may need to give less insulin as his blood sugar will not go so high. On the other hand I have very bad sweats when it's low, so perhaps check his blood sugar. In the early hours blood sugar can be very low. Infection however usually raises blood sugars...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Hello, hmmm mine is 6mmol fasting this morning, I'm hardly eating. My skin/ lips are so salty again even though I had a shower last night around 11pm and drank lots of water. I have had an abscess for 8 months now, it's getting me down, what with double vision that seems really bad at the moment.

    abscess and bad right shoulder

    No I am not on insulin, I was diagnosed in 2003 with diabetes and rebound hypoglycemia. I have a blood sugar range of 29mmol - 1.9mmol which if i ate a normal diet can occur three times a day, every time I eat, for that reason I follow a low carb diet which helps to prevent it going so high...

    abscess and bad right shoulder

    I had been told some years back by the dr the problem may be needing to get my teeth removed, unfortunately that has taken me about 10 years to achieve, so I finally got that done about 3 weeks ago in an effort to stop endless infections?

    abscess and bad right shoulder

    Hi, I've had a bad shoulder for over two years, it seemed to start after a bad collapse, painful acute abdomen, (right side also) resulting in losing consciousness, probably as a result of an acute hypo. Then to exasperate matters I wounded my right hand, and was given a short course of...

    No GTT test - more numbers

    Hello. I would say your blood glucose results look very good. For example for me non pregnant, my one hr value after eating is likely to be 12 -17mmol then 3 - 6hrs later 2.1mmol. On a OGTT more like 29mmol - 2.1 or lower often resulting in a seizure due to the rapid changes from extremely high...

    Is it too late? I am losing hope (triggers)

    Maybe just in time! I think the crucial thing here is if you can make sure your blood sugar levels never go above 10mmol, if you have a meter check after eating,which will help you see what foods cause it to go so high, and preferably not below 3mmol. Readings above 10.6 is where organs can...

    Anonymous Question Hypo like symptoms due to antibiotics???

    No, but prior to treatment with antibiotics, the sweating component to acute hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia is very much worse. That is to say infection makes things worse, as it pushes your bloodsugar higher the hypos don't drop so low, however the hyperglycemia goes higher so the relative...
