hypo

I've had type 1 diabetes since the age of 11 so I know abit about Diabetes, but my understanding of type 2 is very limited. A friend of mine recently had a couple of episodes where he passed out unexpectedly. His doctor eventually diagnosed him as type 2 diabetic and said that the passing out...

Hi, I was diagnosed with type one a couple of weeks ago. I ate about an hour and a half ago and took 6 units of novorapid I tested my finger before dinner and was about a 7mmol/l. About 15 minutes ago I had symptoms of a hypo when I tested my finger I was 15.1mmol/l however my freestyle libre...

Lucozade original used to be my go-to hypo treatment for many years. After they halved the sugar content and added sweeteners it's no good (what were they thinking? Surely nobody was drinking it for the taste, but it used to do the job, and you didn't need too much of it). I find liquid better...

Hey guys, I'm stumped. Maybe you know what's going on with me. Today was another weird one. I could accept that the heat from a couple of weeks ago caused a hypo, as circumstances were extreme, but today.... The weather was normal to cool. And I think my sugar should've been relatively high. So...

Okay, so I've jumped on my husband's account to ask this, looks like I'm making his first post :angelic: My husband Andy is a type 3c diabetic, he was diagnosed a few months ago. Recently, his BG has been at a more manageable level between 7 and 10, but he's started having more hypos, mostly...

(EDIT: If you are going on a plane start by reading this article it opened my eyes: https://asweetlife.org/what-you-should-know-about-flying-with-an-insulin-pump/) Hi, I am sure I have read somewhere before that if you don't put your pump into aeroplane mode when flying then it can suddenly...

With lucozade reducing its carb sugar ratio, is Coke better for treating Hypos? Coke has 10.4g of sugar for 10.4g of carb!

Hi everyone, Can anyone please help? I had a Whipple procedure 8 years ago, following pancreatic cancer at the age of 68. I've been on Creon capsules and a basal/bolus insulin routine ever since. I learnt to count carbs, read Dr Bernstein and lived a fairly normal life since then, with HbA1c's...

Hello everyone! I'm a new member here..thought I'd give it a try and join the family lol! So...I have been living with T1D for over 15 years and I'm now 23. Over the last two years I have started to notice that once in a while (maybe 2-3+ times a month) I randomly start to slur in my speech...

This is an awesome forum I have been following awhile- its 50 years ahead of diabetes education in Australia! I'm 'diet controlled type 2', in fact my numbers often show I'm 'not diabetic' but the symptoms are still there, I have hypos (two nearly killed me as they are not widely recognised in...

Hi all. Before I go into any details has anyone suffered from extremely long hypos? My reason for asking: Yesterday I first felt symptoms of a hypo coming on at approx. 10:45am. Here's a rundown of events: 10:45am: Bloods reading 3.6. Jelly babies to the rescue. 2:15pm: About 20 Jelly babies...

Okay, this won’t be simple to explain but I need help so I will try. I am a 27 year old female with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and gastroparesis. I don’t have much oral intake, less than 500 cals a day. I have a nasal-jejunal feeding tube. I have for a long time experienced dizzyness...

Is it safe for T2 to drink Lucozade when feeling weak or hungry? I know it’s OK for T1s, but how about T2s? I’m still learning, please advice!

Hello fellow type 1s. I have recently started Tresiba insulin on 4 units once a day which seems to be working well. I'm a slow diabetic was diagnosed August 2016, so still have my own insulin. Overnight my levels regularly drop in the 4s once I had a 3.7. I'm always worried if it goes into 4s I...

Hi guys, I have my hba1c appointment soom which is my second hba1c ever. My first was 12.8 (at diagnosis). I feel like i could benefit from an insulin pump and my dsn said a few weeks ago that it shouldn't be a problem going on a pump, just need to sort out funding. The reason for getting a pump...

OK, disclaimer: this thread has nothing to do with alcohol! Does anyone else find that for up to several hours after a hypo they have really weak legs? This doesn't always happen but maybe one in every three moderate to severe hypos makes me feel like I'm slightly paralysed from the waist down...

Hello everyone! I submitted an online version of the DIAB1 form last night since my licence needs to be renewed and the question format concerning hypoglycaemia declaration has changed. I last filled out a paper version of the form 3 years ago but was given the option of the online version this...
