My advice is don't take to heart the information on the internet! I got the same letter and took to google to read about it, after half an hour I was in floods of tears thinking I was going blind and had no hope! Two years later, two lots of laser in both eyes and two rounds of 5 injections in...

Sorry I'm going to ask a few more questions haha! What time does he normally have dinner and what time do the highs start? Do they last all night then suddenly drop in the early hours?

What's his insulin regime?

I changed from lantus to tresiba and it has been a god send for me, I've been on all the other basal insulins and none of them have helped with my dawn phenomenon like tresiba. Not only am I on less basal now than I have ever been, I've also been able to cut down on my night time metformin, my...

I've had laser in both eyes and now have what I like to call "jelly fish" in my vision :joyful: apparently the laser can cause a lot of floaters and that's what I'm seeing, does that sound the same?

When I had chronic nerve pain in my leg due to a back injury(nothing to do with my diabetes) I was put on both amitriptyline and gabapentin and I put on a ton of weight! The dr said it was the gabapentin and changed me to pregabalin, that didn't really help so was on naproxen and tramadol until...

This! Just this! Children are so curious and accepting, it's usually adults that are the problem:(

Surely that's your argument too? Thinking that the world should revolve around the people who have the problem? Accommodating those who don't understand? My point is there shouldn't be a problem, to us it is just an injection, just a normal daily thing because we are used to it and if we educate...

I don't even think about other people or their reaction when I do my insulin outside, it's not on my radar. I don't do it to upset someone or get a reaction, all I'm thinking about is trying to estimate my carb intake, work out units and try and remember the last site I used for my injection so...

I think you're missing the point a bit, not everything in life can be timed. What if someone had high sugars and there was no where discreet around to take their insulin? Should they not take their insulin for fear of upsetting someone? No of course not! Insulin pens are discreet in themselves...

I literally have no shame when it comes to taking my insulin or doing a blood test in public and I pity the poor ****** who makes a nasty comment to me about it. As of yet no one has said anything to me and I think it's best to be quite obvious about it, the more people see these things the more...

Just answered a survey for you! Never had any problems whipping out my pen or blood testing kit in front of anyone, normally people are genuinely just interested in what you are doing. Today for example, I went to a restaurant and had a burger and asked the waiter if he could find out the sugar...

So I've had a headache that keeps coming and going for 4 days now and it's driving me nuts! Here's my history for past few months... I've been receiving treatment for my eyes for around two years now and they've finally stabilised, and I am now having lucentis injections on a only if I need it...

I've always had a lot of problems with my basal insulin, and have been the same insulin to carb ratio for 3 years now with my bolus. It seems my liver likes to release a lot of glucose through the night as I was waking up in the 20's after going to bed with a reading of 6. After one dose of...

I don't think readings of 7 could make you feel ill, maybe see the dr?

Thanks Laura! I didn't know they could give you anything to help with the itching, that's good to know [emoji4]

They were the ones that suggested it but I was unsure.

Thank you so much for the responses guys! I'm thinking I might as well give it a go especially if it's as easy as everyone says it is [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

I've had a problem with the nerves in my back causing pains in my legs, the only thing that really helped me was amitriptyline at night so I could actually sleep and pregabalin through the day. You have to be careful with gabapentin, it made me put a shed load of weight on, not something you...
