Hey I don't mind saying maybe others are similar and could use the advice too. I am 5'6" and I weight 18 stone :-( I am very insulin resistant and I know I've made it worse! I take 40 units of lantus In the morning and 40 at night. I take between 20 and 30 units of humilin S at each...

Forgot to say I've not had nights like this since I was pregnant. Over a year ago and I'm defo not pregnant! Em x

I usually do treat with sugary juice. Sugar was 14 before bed. I was using what I found in a drawer as my baby was sleeping beside me and I didn't want to wake her. Tonight's hypo happened at 2 am. Sugar was 1.6. I did have a snack before bed too. I have no idea what I'm doing. I take a...

I have swinging sugars. I hypo everyday and have highs too but my HbA1C is 7.2. Not great but not too bad. Doc says keep doing what I'm doing. It's 3.30 in the morning and I'm eating a mars bar in the dark, shaking like a leaf! ***! Em x

Re: Warning about Dka and illness. Thanks Phoenix. I took half my usual lantus dose and had a sugary drink. My BS was 8.8 this morning. Feel a bit better so took everything as normal this morning and had some toast. My baby girl is better but my wee man in still ill poor wee guy Thanks...

Hi guys thanks for posting this thread. I've been feeling awful for the past few days. My kids have had D&V but I haven't had anything like that. Just off my food and the most god awful indigestion! I've had DKA before and don't feel like I did then but was wondering what to do about my...

I told myself it would help! Hit the munchies and it went all down hill from there.

Hi thanks for that. I walk a lot and get pains in my calfs like lactic acid build up. It's worse if I'm a bit hit and miss with my thyroxine so I've put it down to that. I could quite happily sleep all day but as it goes just now I'll just sleep when I die! Lol xx Em x

I have a glucagon kit given to me because I was pregnant. I don't see why you can't have one though. I fit whenever I faint. I've never lost consciousness due to a hypo but have done when getting blood taken. Glucagon should only be used when the patient is unconscious so the doc might argue...

I can't take any form of metformin. For the same reason. Gas and cramping on 1 anymore and I'm glued to the toilet. I too have an under active thyroid, I'm overweight and have bad resistance. I'm T1. I'm exhausted all the time and recently seem to ache from head to toe! I'm worried that I have...

I use the anything I can get my hands on method. Usually go overboard though. I keep orange dextrose in my pocket and bag but have found sometimes even a whole pack doesn't do the job. Love haribo jelly babies but find it hard not to dip into the bag even when I'm not hypoing :-( Em x

That's atrocious! Can you not change GP? Em x

I was only tested for GAD antibodies after being admitted to a&e with DKA. Are you in the uk? Em x

Why are you just copy and pasting the same message? Yes I was being sarcastic! Reading all your posts and the way you behave you do sound like you're a teenager! As I said before I took a little fast acting to bring my high sugar down slightly from 15. Then ate when I got home to avoid a...

At a guess by your attitude about 20! Em x

No hen! My sugar was high I took some fast acting and ate! You should eat even taking your lantus at night! I was using it as an example. I have no social life! I have two babies to look after! That was my first outing in nearly a year! I am a responsible person! I took all my medication and...

Ok so her point is that she didn't have her bs taken immediately. We get that. Why she said at first was he was arrested for drunk and disorderly/ breach of the peace whatever it's called where you live. You need to be pretty far gone to get yourself arrested! In the process of being arrested...

Here's an idea. If your sugar drops so much when you drink why don't you just not drink! Surely you can have a good time sober. Or lower the amount of lantus you take if you want to drink. When you asked what HbA1C was, were you actually asking? When you say you've had diabetes for 17 years...

Yes the hospital do but she wanted her machine! Things are getting twisted now! Yes those are the signs of a hypo. She had only one! She was like a woman possessed shouting screaming and kicking enough to lose her voice and cause bruises! Her words! OP I beg you please go to the IPCC or the...

I'm gonna reply regarding the lancet point I made. It may be tiny but it's big enough to open a vein! That is what they consider when assessing the risks! A while back I actually started to see things from OP's point of view then she came away with something even more ridiculous and...
