I am sick of constantly changing my lantus dose. When I'm at certain stages of the month, I have to adjust my lantus dose by increasing it by one-two units more than what I had taken the previous night. I have to change the dose on days 12-14, days 16-18, days 26-27, and finally on days 1-2...

Hello everyone, This may or may not have something to do with diabetes but I'm freaking out here... I'm a type one diabetic on novorapid and lantus. And where I am now it is very, very hot, considering that it's Ireland! :shock: Today it was apparently 29 degrees Celsius. I was out and about...

Hi all, I'm type one and I'm on novorapid and lantus. I would like to know what the deal is with waking oneself up at three in the morning to check how the lantus is working? What is it exactly am I trying to check? Sorry but I don't like to torture myself unless there's a good reason ;) Have...

Hi all, Perhaps it is my morbid sense of humour but hypos can lead to the oddest of situations ;) One time I had a low of 2.7 mmol/l, the only time I've ever passed out in twelve years of diabetes. When I passed out, I was on a swivel chair, and managed to knock down a guitar off its stand in...

Hello all, I know that they say it's not a good idea to exercise if you're 13 mmol/l or above, as it can raise your blood glucose rather than lower it, yet in my experience exercise has lowered a high reading for me. Don't understand this thing where your blood sugar rises even higher while...

Hi all, Has anybody else been having issues with corn flakes? Is there anything in them I may not be aware of? I read the box and the carb levels seemed on par with what I would usually have in the morning aka two Weetabix with milk. They're the Tesco brand. I had the Kellog's ones before and...

Dear all, I am not a huge drinker by any means and when I do drink it's minimal and usually when just relaxing on the couch. I'd just like to ask people out there if they drink West Coast Cooler Rose, because it has only 4% alcohol content, however it contains quite a bit of fruit sugar. I'm...

Dear all, I was told by my Diabetes Nurse that you don't treat the high after the low-- her words, "never, ever, treat the high after the low". I'm not really sure what to think of this, especially when I've had a slight low before bedtime. I don't think it's a good idea to leave a high...

Hi everyone, I posted about this earlier and maybe it was too long :P apologies but I was very confused at the time. I'd just like to ask if any women out there have troubles with hormones at the time of the month which affect their blood glucose levels, and ask what your response to those...

Dear all, I've had type 1 diabetes since I was six years old due to congenital hypothyroidism and now I'm 18. I've always been relatively good with my diabetes but recently I've clamped down and decided to go on a strict diet, minimising my carb intake and increasing my protein intake. My last...
