We were in Ireland for christmas and I definitely was a bold girl. It's hard to control everything when you are at someone elses house. I must pull myself back together again. I was thinking of starting a new exercise regime. Anybody have any tips for me what exercise is good and how long to...

It could definitely be the meds but I've had the exact symptoms and it was a migraine with aura that my doctor diagnosed. They are horrible. Sometimes you notice the aura before the head symptoms. If you do take a headache tablet to try and stop it in its tracks.

I've had that before and it was a migraine with an aura. Nothing to do with diabetes but very unpleasant at the same time. Would be good to get it checked out. I used to get them with my monthlies.

I just did my bloods and have 106 mm dl or whatever you call it. Out of fun we did my non diabetic husbands bloods and his were 140. The last day we did them together again just out of curiousity and mine was 80 and his was 120. Is that not weird that his is higher then mine even though I am...

Thanks guys. I do actually feel fine today. But had 3 squares of chocolate an hour ago so was expecting a much higher reading.

So I just did one there now and it is 81mg/dl. I do not know how to translate that into the smaller numbers. Is that low?

No diabetes medication for an antidepressant and a beta blocker that I have been taking for years. Just measured my blood sugar there and it is 80 mml

I suffer from ocd and panic disorder as well but a few times lately I have experienced what I thought was a weird panic attack but it may be a diabetes thing. I felt disorientated and was shaking all over. It was a real physical feeling. I thought a little sugar would help so I had a small...

At first they do but then they cause it too sink. I think there is so info on this site about it. If you search alcohol and diabetes. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that is what I read.

Well I have been eating some carbs. I found a low carb bread that has only 6,2g per slice which is not too bad. They say in the book that avovados and olives are bad and most meats etc. I would say that I am doing medium carbs with low fat and it seems to be ok. I would panic at the thoughts...

I live in Germany and am attending a diabetes seminar. I got a monitor and books etc. The weird thing is that the germans say you should eat lots of carbs and very little fat. Now I fecking don't know what to do. I was concentrating on very little carbs and trying to minimise fat and was...

As far as I know you can smoke. I did and they knew I did and didn't say anything. Alcohol causes the blood sugar to sink drastically sometimes so if you have a lot of alcohol before the test then the readings would be inaccurately low. This is what I have read.

OK I got my bloods back from the doc. The morning fasting one was 108 whatever that means and the HB thingie went from 6,9 to 6,2 so was pretty delighted with that.

Thanks so much. We are going to the dom after a big lunch with the parents. I am making the veggies and potatoes which I don't care for much anyway but there will be cake and wine and then strawberries in chocolate after the dom. I will be good then until christmas.

In germany I get one from Aldi that is 80% with little bits of orange in it and it is delish. Well nothing beats cadburys but at least it is something.

Other days have been pretty good. I do tend to have a little chocolate most days to be honest but only a small bit.

It is my birthday tomorrow and I know I will be bad. I haven't got a monitor yet and have my training course at the end of the month but I have been trying to be good giving all the conflicting information. Will one bad day do damage? Thanks

Oh girls. I am feeling low too. Sick of having to think about what to eat the whole time. I'm ashamed to say I woke up in the middle of the night last night and snacked on twix bars the mini ones but had 4, yes 4. I was so mad at myself this morning but it was like I was possessed but a fast...

Was at the eye doc today and my eyes are........................ wait for it. Perfectly healthy. I was so delighted that I treated myself to a slice of cake afterwards. Very bold I know.

Thanks for the advice but now I am totally confused. Are you saying no carbs at all?
