Hi I am not a diabetic but after getting shaky and feeling odd I tested myself with my husband's monitor and my blood sugar was 3.8. Is this normal for a non diabetic or does it need to be discussed with my gp ? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Something else I dont understand is that most people with cp seem to be in constant pain (my husband is not). Other than when he has a flare up he seems to be ok. Is this normal ? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi jules Yes he is on creon but we are quite in the dark as to how much to take per meal so its been a case so far of trial and error. By upping his creon to what he eats and what we think he should take he has this week been starting to gain weight which is a good thing :) His bs are all over...

My husband was recently in hospital for a week and he was put onto an insulin pump. They mentioned sliding scale but not too sure what they meant.

Yes its true the nhs is switching to just one blood testing monitor. The agamatrix. All patients are apparently being called into their nurse for a quick lesson how to use. My husband had his last week and its just the same basics as his other machine. The reason they are changing is the strips...

He was put on insulin when first diagnosed but the amounts he was on were minuscule plus his job is driving large plant vehicles. Luckily he was able to come off it after a month. He really does not want to go back onto insulin again because of his job. Its probably going to be a long uphill...
