Hi all, I've been struggling with high waking blood sugars which I've attributed to a Dawn Phenomenon (although a consult I saw was sceptical despite a months of Libre data showing it) that I see start to rise my sugars at around 3-4am. I was just wondering how other people deal with them? I...

Hi all, I have recently moved from the UK to Costa Rica for a job for 2 years and I am struggling a little with my diabetic control. In the UK I was well controlled, minimal hypos and an HbA1c of 6.5 (when I left in June 2016). I have been Type 1 diabetic for 25 years, since I was 2 years old...

Good afternoon everyone, I would really appreciate some advice from 'experienced' type 1s who have had the same problem as me! I was diagnosed with Type 1 in February, since then my blood glucose control has generally been very good. Just recently I have been experiencing random post-meal...

My T2 was under reasonable control with reasonable diet, tablets, and 20,000 steps a day. HbA1c was 7.0. My broken leg means that exercise is now minimal and I have been testing my glucose three times a day before meals to decide on what to eat to keep my glucose under control. For a while my...

Hi, I'm newly diagnosed as type 2 diabetic on 29th Dec last year. Been dieting and lost a little weight (2st 3lb) since Sept last year, and there's a LOT I don't understand. Like, what's a hypo? Why can some people test their blood sugar and some don't even get any information about it...

Type 2 and bg level 26.2 in UK figures. Understandably feeling very wobbly. Have just injected 40 units of Novorapid to correct, but not sure if that's too much... It's 5.10pm now and I won't eat until 7.00pm. I'm drinking loads of water to flush it as I also use Invokana, and there'll be 20...
