Been on a 13 hours shift and my body has insisted on trying to see how many hypos it can fit in in 1 day! Woke up with a reading of 14 after my hypo right before bed last night so wasn't expecting it. Feeling absolutely exhausted from bouncing from low to high all day :( Sent from the...

I always get the same hypo symptoms and generally at around the same number. Tonight I started feeling sick and my mouth went numb. Took my sugars and they were 4.2 which surprised me a lot. Faffed about for about 10 minutes and then felt dizzy and my face felt heavy so tested again and 3.6...

Despite being at this for 6 months I still like to double check everything so sorry for the simple question! My sugars have been generally a little high for the past 5 days or so. Averaging a between 7.5 and 9 before meals and 8 and 11.5 2 hours after. Am I right to assume that I should...

I injected insulin earlier in my stomach and as I pulled the needle out a squirt of blood came out and it instantly swelled to the size of maybe a ping pong ball. It was very easy to see, protruding out of my stomach. Now it's really sore especially when I bend. Just wondering if I need to be...

Why is it that I can have have a bar of chocolate (25g carbs maybe?) now and again (with a meal and bloused for) and my bg levels stay absolutely fine ... But I can't have an actimel with a meal when it's only 3.3g carbs? I'm feeling really annoyed about it. It's literally the ONLY thing that...

It has now been 6 months today since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I can't believe it's been half a year already; it doesn't seem so long ago that I was in hospital. On the other hand, I can't really remember not counting carbs and weighing my food, it really has become normal. I would...

Hi all, I have a few random questions that I've been meaning to ask you all for a while. 1. I had my first appointment with the consultant last month, who had me do a blood test and urine test. I'm assuming he checked my hba1c (will be impressed if I've remember that right), which was 10.3...

My bg levels yesterday were all between 8 and 9. I injected an extra half unit at breakfast, full unit at lunch and 1 1/2 at tea and my levels refused to come down. Woke up with them on 8.6, injected an extra unit but was 10.3 before lunch. Injected an extra unit and a half. Before tea I was...

Eek, feeling very excited right now! My partner wanted to hire bikes and go riding for the day about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't keen on the idea as I hadn't been near a bike in 10 years, am very clumsy and quite anxious. But I thought I would give it a go anyway ... And I loved it! I never thought I...

I have been trying to put weight on for about a year now after my weight dropped to 6 stone 10 before I was diagnosed with type 1 in November 2013. Bit by bit it has been coming back and I'm now 7 stone 8 ... But I hate it :( I thought I wanted to put the weight on but when I look in the...

After almost 7 weeks of trying, I finally got hold of my dsn. And to be fair she's very good when I can get in touch with her and sorted me out with these within 2 days: She said they'd all been playing around with them and looking at them down the clinic because none of them had even heard...

I had a sad day yesterday, just felt fed up and really down and empty. Had a hypo at half 10 last night and had some glucojuice and a breakfast bar. Then on my way out if the kitchen I passed my sisters leftover birthday cake. So I had a slice. Woke up this morning and I'm 14.4. I feel...

I have been trying to contact my dsn for 6 weeks. Never any answer or it goes to voicemail. There have been 3 different voice messages at different times. I'm just getting really frustrated with it. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I am feeling tired and a little irritable today and like I could just sit down and cry. Not exactly sure why. I keep getting pain that covers the whole of my face. It's not really bad or constant but it's still bugging me. And I'm pretty sure my ratios have changed yet again. If they keep...

I'm currently having my second hypo of the day. I'm putting it down the fact that I've been cleaning since 2pm without stopping. Also it's been really hot so I've been drinking lots. The first one was 3.2 and this one is 3.1. I usually feel it at 4 but I didn't this time or the last. Also I only...

I had a white cheese topped roll for tea with fish fingers in batter. Also the mini egg cakes out for Easter have always been my favourites so I also had one of them too. I injected for it all. Now I'm on 12. I know it's because of the bread roll and the cake. I've just had enough right now. I...

Is there any way I can get half unit pens delivering novorapid? I was sure I read somewhere that I could but just spoke to the clinical nurse and she said that if I wanted a half hint pen then I would have to switch to a different insulin Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I was supposed to go wedding dress shopping today, which I was very excited for. I'm in the middle of a week off work, which again I've been looking forward too. But now my mother is in the mental health ward of the hospital under a section 136 after a frenzied search for her (myself and my...

Finally had a letter through about 2 weeks ago giving me the details of my first appointment with the consultant. Had another letter cancelling the appointment and it was stated they'll send out another one when they can. Not expecting anybody to fix this, just moaning a bit as I have been...
