So I joined slimming world last week, and in this 1 week I have had to nearly half my insulin to carb ratio at night. I've also lost 3.5lbs which is the first time I've really lost weight. I recommend Slimming World :-)

I also feel shakey or more fragile them anything, until I have a sleep especially after a hypo below 2.8 x

I ate bananas, they are free on the plan and get my sugars up x

I had they highs prior, which is the reason for the increases, I'm being put forward for a pump so hopefully I will get one x

I don't eat until 8pm because of work etc, my high is when I go to bed about 11 and it's between 12-15 then between 15-17 in the morning, so I have increased my fast acting 3.5 for every 10 and my long action I have added and extra 2 of units all advised by my DN.

I've recently had high reading between 15-17 in the evening and morning so was told to increase my ratio of insulin. At tea I take 3units for every 10. I have increase it to 3.5 for every 10. For the last 3 nights at 3:30 I have had a hypo at 2.7. Three nights with a hypo and I'm now...

I have a few I shops like others, a few during sex they are a mood killer lol. When I was in bed tho I was having a hypo, my husband was next to me and he knew what was happening, but I just kept picking the clock up shouting at it to call for help as I was having my hypo, then telling my hubby...

Is anybody from Coventry and on a insulin pump. If so how was it to get one, I am thinking of asking to be considered?

I was wondering how long it takes people to feel better after a hypo. Sometimes I'm 100% after an hour, other times I'm still feeling fragile the next day. I had a reading of 2.8 at 3.30 this afternoon and now just want to go to sleep, who else is like this?

Slimming World is good x

All of the above.

I usually have 4 raspberry gluco tabs, but will have a snack. At times tho I over eat and I don't mean to, especially if its through the night I will eat anything, then my husband moans at me for over doing it. I eat until I feel better which is not good, at times i need to be a detective to...

I don't get diabetes or my body sometimes. Don't know if anyone has experienced this. This afternoon I checked my sugars before lunch and they were 3.3. I felt absolutely fine, no symptoms at all. Only tested because I was about to eat. Then later today about 5:30 felt like my sugars had...

This has happened to me before, its always taken a lot of insulin to get down, but it normally took me 24 hours to get control back after getting my basal back in to system x

Thank you Tim, but my dear husband was able to find my instructions.

Mine comes up with two options at the top. L with a Sun and Moon, but no options at the bottom.

I was wondering if someone who has this meter can help. I moved house and I cant find the instruction manual. I have looked on the net but cant find what I need. I want to know how to restore it, or change the insulin section. It only allows me to log long acting insulin, not my meal time...

I know its really hard at times, I have been through the I cant be bothered stage a few times. The end result is I'm 30 and I now have diabetic retnopothy. The best thing is to get in touch with your diabetes team and be honest with them, they will help. Talk to people on here and maybe find...
