hypoglycaemia

Hello! For over a year (maybe couple years) I have this weird symptom. In general I almost never get hungry (except for in the morning), instead I just keep going when suddenly usually after around 4 hours from my last meal I get overwhelmed with nausea, lightheadedness, I feel dizzy and...

Hi all I’m new to the forum but not newly diagnosed. Initially type 2 but now awaiting both lada and mody testing. My diabetes has been really hard to control - my doctors have struggled to understand it, up and down like a yo-yo so currently waiting the referral to an Endo. I’m in Scotland...

Hi All, My names Jas. I'm 39 and have been Diabetic since the age of 16. I have joined the forum to obtain further insights into thos living with MODY and the impacts to their life. Also to get an understanding of how I can make it work for me after only knowing Type 1 for 23 years of my...

So in May i was put on levemir and novorapid. My problem is with Levemir. I was on a single dose of 16 units at night but it only lasted me 16 hours so i got tired and went off the insulin altogether and switched to a premixed insulin (Humalog mix 50). My control with premixed insulin has been...

Hi all, I was hoping to get a bit of reassurance/advice. I have reported this to the midwife so they are aware :) I haven't been able to tolerate the glucose drink they use for the Glucose tolerance test, so the midwife has asked me to take my BM 4x a day. Once first thing in the morning as a...

Hi, On Saturday after being out watching a local football game and having 3 or 4 cans of low strength beer, I was sitting at my computer desk and started to get blurred vision, it felt like the sun had got in my eyes and I couldn't see past the image, then I started to feel numb and terribly...

Do the symptoms of a hypo for anyone change over time? I’m used to having the same set but every once in a while they change. I recently started getting blurred vision - something I’ve never had before. I sometimes even get a flashing light in one eye that stays for the hypo duration then...

Hello to everyone :) I've been readying this forum for a while and find it very very useful so thanks to everyone that contribute! My story is quite similar to those I have already read here. I have been having the RP symptoms since I remember, not knowing what's wrong. It wasn't that often...

Hello! I’ve always had really good control of my blood sugars and a good Hba1c. But now I’m trying to lose weight I notice my sugars going low overnight or in the morning. I reduced my basal insulin (Trisiba) but am hesitant to reduce it more because of noticing my levels being a bit higher...

Second baby born yesterday and all seems well except for his blood sugars - he has been on a drip since yesterday. He is a big baby 8lb 9 born at 38 weeks. My Hba1c started at around 6.3 in early pregnancy gradually dropping to 5.7 say from month 4 onwards when I got started on the Dexcom. I...

Hi everyone, I just need to get this off my chest. A few days ago, I injected Lantus (12 units) and must've hit a vein or something, because after 20 minutes I started feeling very dizzy, measured my blood sugar and was at 1.2 mmol/l, which is the lowest reading I've ever seen. I live alone for...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with my problem. I'm a 42 yo female, non-diabetic on low carb / keto (ish) diet and experiencing cognitive problems, night sweats, weight gain, headaches, palpitations, lethargy. This is my first week of using a FreeStyle Libre (using out of...

So, tonight I had probably the most intense panic attack I've ever had. I had a hypo (Libre had a 4.6 with a vertical down arrow) so I treat it and carry on, next thing I know I'm completely out of my mind hyperventilating, sweating hot and cold, heart pounding like its going to bust out my...

Good morning! I have a question, again about nocturnal hypoglycemia. Yesterday evening I had a relatively light dinner (21:00). Just before bed (00:20) I measured my blood glucose, 93 mg / dL. Around 4:20 in the morning I woke up and measured glucose again, 108 mg / dL. Could the increase in...

Brief background: [I don't have diabetes (that I'm aware of) and do not take any medication that would lower my blood glucose] Two days ago, I was accidentally given 800ml rather than 200ml 10% glucose solution over an hour to resolve hypoglycaemia and dehydration in A&E (ER) secondary to GI...

Hello there, I read, while researching, that if someone has a hypo while asleep and they don't wake up, that they may know they had a hypo because of damp sheets etc. Does that mean that the person's blood sugar levels corrected themselves in the night? What stopped them going lower? If they...

Has anyone been prescribed Freestyle Libre since 1 April in accordance to NHS new policy? My GP seems to think nothing changed and that they cannot prescribe it. Any news on that?

Hi everyone, I am new here and wanted to ask some help regarding blood sugar issues. A while ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and for some reason, this made me lose A LOT of weight, since my diagnosis and treatment I have slowly been able to gain the weight back which is great. However...

Hi all, My wife has Type 1 diabetes (disgnosed 2.5 years ago in her 30s) and when she has a hypo her pupils are different sizes. She also has hypo unawareness so relies on me to tell her when she needs to eat/take action. Yesterday she very obviously had the issue with her pupils being...

Type 2 on insulin Low blood sugar almost every day,mostly around noon and midnight (within the range of high 2 or low 3). To avoid overcorrection I take a glass of milk and half a slice ob brown bread (or two clementines) and wait for the liver to do the rest of the job. In a word, stopped...
