Just seen your query after search for discussion of this same subject (ie corn forming & don't use corn plasters). They tell you to take good care of your feet & then you are left waiting for an appointment with the situation getting worse & more painful. Hope ur nurse/chiropodist move it along.

@Daphne917 ... Interesting - good to hear your hubby doing OK with a second pacemaker ... Out of interest, how long after op did it slip?

I too had a pacemaker fitted end of May... just browsing & wondered how you are getting on @Pilgrim22. I've been back at work 3 wks now; working up to full time again & have a check with hospital next week. All generally OK but shoulder still feels very tight.

Ok to add to this discussion, I had a pacemaker fitted 3 wks ago & everything seemed to be going well apart from sugars a bit high. Felt very ropey last night with hypo-like symptoms at 6.3 on my meter. Got completely checked over with nothing obvious to doctor (all well with mechanics & no...

Just a quick update. Tummy upset turned out to be Complete Heart Block. Admitted via A&E early hours of 27th May; Angiogram same day - arteries & heart valves healthy - pacemaker fitted on 28th - home 29th. Yay the NHS. Nearly 3 wks later now & feeling much, much better [emoji41]

I already use 2 apps for this purpose & this really was a dive in BG with no apparent cause: food, insulin, activity. As above I now think I had the start of a stomach bug but still not sure whether that was cause or effect.

Oh yes, @azure, horrible. Follow up... Felt very rough all evening but had to dash to loo a few times - wonder if this was the start of a tummy bug?

Just had a weird low. 5.8 at lunch (fab) - usual lunch & 4 units Novo. 6.8 at 4.00pm but feeling rubbish so had biscuit despite reading. 4.30 ish still feeling rubbish so took BG again... 3.8! Dextrose x3. At least explained how was feeling. Only thing I can think of is weekend was quite an...

Yep, me too, already tried I'm afraid with not a lot of luck. Wish I could remember where the first one came from [emoji12]

Thanks for this. What I had was a fair bit smaller than this but browsing their website may find something similar [emoji4]

Ullo, all. A few years ago I bought a neoprene wrist band which had a pocket in which you could put sweeties/glucose tabs when swimming. Only used it once or twice & now can't find it's 'somewhere safe' place. Does anyone know where I can purchase?

I can organise my face OK but no matter how much I pretend my BG reacts

Anyone else find that the people around them influence their levels? My grand-daughter's mere presence (I can be sitting just watching her play - not overly active myself) brings my levels down quite sharply; whereas some people's mere presence can send them rocketing. Guess this is down to...

The last two weeks my BG results have suddenly become much better - generally lower and not as many spikes. I am a 'woman of a certain age', T1 for 14 yrs, and had put some of the difficulties in management down to hormonal changes over the past year or so. The only changes I can really think...

Very relieved to see you are getting help. Having T1 is no walk in the park but paying attention to your food intake & insulin balance does not have to be such a pain and, to be honest, lovely, there is not much choice. If you don't then time is the one thing you won't have. Many posts here are...

Just a bit of a rant: just recovering from a tummy bug, type 1 & menopausal. Trying to work out which is causing me to feel decidedly 'off colour' & prob all! [emoji12]

I have just had a stomach bug which meant I was unable to eat or keep fluids down and have to say was slightly panicked as first time I've experienced since being diagnosed 13 yrs ago (T1). Read through all the 'sick day' rules I could find & found most sadly lacking if unable to eat. Eventually...

I have just started using an app to record my sugar levels & also decided to take carb counting more seriously in an attempt to tighten control. Found fitness pal app very useful as it shows carbs for all meals, adding them up for you and things you eat regularly, like favourite breakfasts, are...

Type 1 (from the age of 45)(yes - late onset)

Was just browsing and saw this topic. Always double check in restaurants etc that I am being served DIET coke as from past experience I know that some people don't think its a 'biggy' and think anyone can drink 'fat' coke. One really nice experience was when we were travelling through France...
