cold

Hello everyone. I am kind of desperate by now. You see I am sick. I haven't tested yet but I suspect COVID. I really cant control my blood sugar. It was about 10 mmol for the majority of yesterday. Today I wake up and it's 14 mmol... I try to inject various amounts of insulin and it doesn't...

I am aware (thanks to this forum) that a flu or a cold can raise BG. But for how many days/weeks one should expect higher or erratic BG after the cold or flu symptoms have disappeared? My BG was finally showing values below 80 mg/dL after months of effort (carnivore/no carb/low carb/moderately...

There's a definite nip in the air nowadays. Even down here on the south coast where Christmas comes with the first daffodils... We made a batch of vegetable soup with whatever was to hand: two carrots, onion, celery, rasher of bacon and flageolet beans for extra flavour. Threw in a solitary spud...

I'm starting to get pretty desperate. I'm waiting on an appointment to see a neurologist (it takes weeks to see one apparently) and recent blood tests came back ok/normal. I'm extremely fatigued and constantly feeling cold. I have lots of "cold" spots on my body - tops of legs, shoulders, arms...

Hi, I am 21 and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes around 5 years ago. For the last few years I have been getting progressively colder, I get white finger tips and when I touch anyone else they are so much warmer than me! Even under a thick duvet my feet are often frozen. I know how to control...

So over the Easter weekend I came down with a stinker of a cold, my first bout of sickness since being diagnosed diabetic last September, and I was fully prepared for an increase in blood sugar and possible ketones especially as I haven't been able to do my usual exercise and even resorted to...
