It took me a good week or so to get control over my BG after a General anaesthetic earlier this year but the GP didn't seem to concerned about it he said it was most likely due to stress

Yeah i'm good just want all the health problems to give me a break lol x how are you keeping? x

I'm a fellow t1 diagnosed mid Jan and i must test as a minimum of morning before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner and again before bed. I tend to test 2 hours after meals and if i feel just not quite right i test some more .You have been given very shoddy advice in my opinion! They...

The first couple of appointment's will feel like information overload - or at least it was for me (diagnosed type 1 mid Jan) so if they ramble on to fast or skip over something do ask them to slow down, it's a lot to take in at first! First of all I would ask which type of diabetes you have...

Definitely related to t1, i was diagnosed t1 Jan 2014 and also have hyperthyroidism. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist soon about this so hopefully i will get some answers but for now i am enjoying the weight loss even if it dos come with a heavy exhaustion price tag :)

I changed from Lantus to Levemir due to an allergic reaction upon increasing dosage, I had an all over body itching lasting 6 hours and I was limping after the injection

Thanks very much guys, I can always rely on you to help clear the fog x

Ahh now I was up and down the stairs like a yo yo with it (don't ask why because I don't know myself) that could just explain it thanks DaniT1D x

Thanks Keri, I had another one on Sunday when hoovering for my mum same symptoms again. Could it have happened because I did a lot more than I usually would? It sounds daft but after running around after my 8 month old all day long I don't get much time to do a lot of housework in one go and...

Hi and welcome to the forum! I can't offer any advice (im T1 diagnoses January) apart from look closely at your diet. What you eat can be the hardest to change if you've eaten a certain way for years and I won't lie it is hard but in all honesty it does get easier. I would imagine a blood...

I am now glad I have experienced my first and like you all say I now know what to look out for in the future, it's surprising how scary the unknown is! Next time I hope I don't panic as much and just get on with it x

I had my first hypo today and my god it scared the hell out of me on my own with my 8 month old daughter partner in bed after hernia surgery, I won't forget that in a hurry. From cold sweats to leg tremors and confusion I never want to experience that again for as long as I live :bigtears: I...

Here's a link to the page if you want to take a look through it at some point http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/low-carb-diabetes-diet.html

Hi there and welcome, the amount of carbs per meal will vary depending on how much and what your husband eats. I found a small section on here that gave me a rough guideline for daily carbs which I go by for now, Im pretty newly diagnosed say I try to stay on the "low carb" Here is what it...

It's just really a term some people still use for Diabetes What is Sugar Diabetes ? .... It is a general term for a number of disorders that prevent the body from regulating its blood sugar level, which can lead to serious complications. .... There are two common varieties of sugar diabetes...

when I was diagnosed around 5-6 weeks ago I specifically asked the doctor 9out of hours care) if using the e-cig could have caused the rise in blood glucose and he reassured me that this wasn't the cause of high blood glucose and that it would not affect my readings, I've had the same response...

Hi I am the same my mornings are the worst, I was told by my diabetes team (and I'm not suggesting you do this without medical advice) to increase my basal insulin by 1 unit every 72 hours. This might be something worth asking about next time you see your nurse

Thank you all, this makes much more sense to me now but it's just typical that my b.g has been down all day to between 7 and 8 (without metformin) for the first time! I think if they stay down I might just phone the diabetes nurse when I pick up the prescription to see if I still need to take it...

I was at the diabetes clinic today and I've come home rather puzzled and I am hoping that someone can possibly explain things to me. So at the moment I am taking MDI (T1) Levemir at bedtime 30units and between 12-14 units of NovoRapid with meals, I've been at this diabetes lark for almost 6...

Hi just me again, the diabetes nurse told me one or two glasses of wine are fine but to be aware that alcohol lowers blood glucose, so if I am having a glass of wine (or 3 in my case lol) to always have a small snack before bedtime and to yet again check my glucose levels. As for my...
