high blood glucose levels

Hi, Im 29 from Leicester and just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and have been given insulin to take every morning and evening, along with a rescue pen to use if my premeal blood glucose is above 19 which all makes sense. I am using the Libre app and sensor thing and i tend to spend a lot...

Hello everyone, I’m feeling quite on my own with how I’m feeling and I’m just hoping that somebody out there has similar experiences. I’ve recently suddenly started feeling very unwell, I went to the doctor who ordered blood tests and everything was okay. But I havnt been feeling myself (no...

I'm hoping I've posted in the correct place but apologies if I haven't. Ok, so brief background . . I've had covid twice - in November 2022 and again in June 2023. My Hba1c has steadily been increasing and my most recent Hba1c was 80. Advised to increase my prolonged release Metformin to 4x...

Hi guys I am very new to all this, I was diagnosed with DT1 back in Jan after my 30th. I was admitted straight to hospital after having a urine sample tested at my doctors surgery as my blood sugars were found sky high at 33.2 Since then I got a lot better and within days I went down to what was...

Hi all, The past few times I have went on holiday to a reasonably hot country I have suffered from bad highs and terrible insulin resistant. This is despite going through the usual measures of keeping my insulin cool, regularly changing needles, eating reasonably low carb diet and attempting to...

Hi everyone, I'm desperately seeking help to use the pump successfully. I have the Accu-check Roche combo. I started it in March 2018, using the Flex-Link insertion set. For three months it worked perfectly and I loved it. Then suddenly I started getting sky high blood sugar levels, with no...

Hi everyone. My father has been diagnosed about a month ago now. He was sent to hospital with a severe eye condition and a blood sugar level of 30. He’s on metaformin I think with 3 tablets a day. I’m worried because his blood sugar is still at 18 and they don’t know if he’s type 1 or 2. What’s...

I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I've had type 1 diabetes for over seven years now and it's been well controlled with good HbA1c results. However, over the past few months, I've been getting high blood sugar in the morning. Nearly every morning it's anything between 10 and 15 mmol/L. I had...

hello I was wondering why does my BSL rise after I do exercising or hard work or sometines overnight I am not sure if it is when I am eating that might cause this issue or something else for instance the other day I tested my BSL it was 6.1 I had eaten about 3 hours before so thought I be ok I...

Hi Everyone , A question for all the ladies out there... does anyone notice that a couple days before your period your BG spikes? I’ve noticed recently ( as I’ve improved my control and testing) that mine spike REALLY badly. Usually I’m around 6-8, but it can go up to 16-18!!!. This is fasting...

Hi. I am a type 2 diabetics. My HbA1c is 9.5. Before the test, I had been taking medications (Glynase, Metformin, Galvus) and also injecting Long Acting Insulin (Glaritus) in about 20 units every night. But when the test come out that my HbA1c is 9.5, i don't know what to do anymore. How much...

Hi there, I was diagnosed with Type 1 on Monday this week, great shock and completely unexpected as i'm 39 only 11 stone and work full time so am active all day. I am currently on tablets to try and bring my levels down until my appointment tomorrow where I will find out my other test results...

Hi guys, I am 22 years old and I have been a type 1 diabetic for over ten years now. I have to say I have never been the best at controlling my blood sugars and just fancied sharing some of my experiences! I went for my annual eye test and 6 monthly review recently and the results were not...

I've been giving the same amount of Levemir before bed for about a year now. I've had a Freestyle Libre since May 2016. There have been periods of a week or so when most nights have been in target. When that happens I think I've finally cracked it. Every now and again though, I just go off the...

I know it sounds a silly question but for the passed two weeks I've been feeling constantly exhausted, fighting high BGL almost daily and then today I've been feeling a little nauseous (but then I did take Kalms Night last night which can cause nausea apparently). I'm due on my period this week...

I have a bit of an awkward question. It's generally known that foods like grapefruit juice can affect how long some drugs (legal and illegal) stay in the system. Basically the liver metabolism is slower because grapefruit juice has to be metabolized before other drugs can be metabolized. Now I...

Hi everyone, I am hoping some people might be able to offer some advice. I am 27 and have had diabetes for 25 years. I am usually well controlled (especially in the past 5 years) however for the past few months I have been waking up with high blood sugars each morning. And I mean high- this...

I started this thread for @jonniey. @azure and @philchap1 from postings in My fasting blood glucose.... thread

Hi, A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. I was prescribed Amitriptyline and take 20mg each morning. Around the same time I started taking them I noticed unusually high BG levels an hour or so after breakfast which I couldn't explain. I've looked at the side effects...
