I know what you mean, I used to be in the same line of work and this happen to me once or twice, but never that bad. It may be an idea to pass the call on to you line manager if a cal starts to drag.

Definatly not. INsulin breaks down the sugar in you body and converts it in to energy. As for a small rise over night, I have been told as long as it stay within a range of two mmol throughout the day its fine. Its a known fact that you liver dumps sugar in your system over night, so that...

I;m not sure if there is a connection or not, but I have type one and my dad has type two. I know that there is a good chancethat there is a connection between ant-immune diseases (type 1, thyroid problems, allegries)

Just what you listed and its bad I quite often find it hard to see different shades properly. Yeah, I've had great improvement in my left so far, they showed my the diffences between pre-treatment and now.

Mine stays with me for quite a while but its basically what you said. There may no be changes to the eyes because that is permanent (if no treatment is given it is). Blood sugars seem to effect everything depending on what they are like so I can imagine that the changes are effecting sight as...

Its much better now. Like you said, it comes and goes, I can deal with it most of the time when its bad. I know what you mean, does your sight get to the point where you can't focus? Oh no, that's horrible. I would get them when there was a trigger, such as being late. I just ignore, or put...

Hey Leon, I can agree with all of this and say your theory sounds pretty tight and solid. I wake with high sugars at least once a week with out making any changes to my routine the night before. The only thing that I can't agree with is the dream releasing adrenaline part, and that's only...

It can improve. I have had two lots laser treatment. I have then had 2 out three injects in my left eye and 1 out of 3 in my right. IT sounds horrible to hear what can possibly come next, buts its not as bad as it sounds. The treatment is painless and takes about 10 minutes in total (eyes...

I don't know if the pressure problems ever did stop, I think it comes back every now and then, although never as bad. My sight is getting better with treatment though. It gets me through it because I think that I can just give up with it or get it sorted and carry on seeing people. Yeah I...

I never noticed a change until I had an issue with low blood pressure in February 2012 and always put it down to that (Everything was blurry and my eyes were sensative to the light). I know exactly what you mean, its scary to think about it. I don't cope with it that well. I find ignoring it...

That's my view exactly, have a bender now and then but keep it a hospital free night and its all good :D. 5-6 would be too low for me, a like to have a bit of a fall back for unplanned exercise, but to each there own. Its good to see that you readings are staying stable (I've always been told...

Good glad its all working out so far, and fingers crossed that it keeps going that way for you, which i'm sure it will. Well done with weighing out the Chinese food. I'm not to bad, bit high at 13-15 this weekend, but I think that has to do with drinking quite a bit of alcohol on Saturday.

Hi Amanda, Just wondering you had made any changes yet, and how you are finding them?

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I just been looking at the forums for a bit so far and give a bit of advice, but its really nice (for me, not for others) to see that others are going through the same problems that I have been having, it means i'm nt alone,

Yeah I thought that would be the case. personally the first thing i would do would be to stop them hypos with the quick acting first, then if you need to you can sort long acting when you afterwards, when you can see what it is doing properly. But each to their own. About the same length time...

Sounds like a good idea to change by that amount. I know what you mean, when I first started DAFNE I was on 2.5 at breakfast and 2 the rest of the day, but I got better control to lower my dose now. What are the results like the rest of the day, are they all okay?

ON a good day i take 1 1/2 units of insulin for 10g of carbs and 2:1 on a bad day (ill, stressed, high sugars) and a 1 unit for 2 bg correction. I take 28 Long acting on an evening. I think I suffer from that as well, but has been quite good recently, its called the Dawn phenomenon, and no...

QA is quick acting and LA is long acting, sorry it was the way that I was taught them when I was younger and its stuck with me. Good to hear your looking into DAFNE, it can really help, and they will teach you how to deal with this yourself. Its looks like the most plausible answer for your...

Hi Amanda, Do you do carbohydrate countiing/DAFNE? If you do it may be that your ratios are out. If you are, write down your results, how much insulin and how many carbs you have eaten and you should be able to see a pattern there. It sounds like your too high on your QA and too low on you...
