Hi everyone, My name is Anjana, I am new here. I have a very unusual story as I am a medical mystery to my doctors. I have seen a lot of doctors and still they don't know what type of diabetes I have. Unfortunately it is now getting really critical and there is no treatment. I need the crowd...

Hello all, First time poster here and was hoping to get some advice on my basal dose. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes around 2 months ago and have been following a low carb diet (eating between 30 and 50 grams of carbs a day). After some trial and error in the initial few days/weeks, I...

I’ve been experiencing hypoglycemia for many years now. It used to be much worse, but I am now wearing a glucose monitor and surprised to find how low my glucose levels are and how hard it is to keep them up/level. as a test I’ve eaten some cake and the level only goes up to 125 max (6.9). I...

Hi! So I was started on 17u levemir at 9pm and 5-6 units of Novorapid with every meal. However the 17u of levemir drop me too much at night. Especially from 12am to 3am and dont give me coverage in the afternoon. It only keeps my sugars stable from 9pm to 3pm, after which i start rising. Also...

Hi. I am writing to ask you how often you check your blood glucose level (test-strip)? I am afraid that I have become obsessed as I use about 15 strips a day. In addition, I had problems getting a drop of blood, which causes myself to sting a few times ... I feel a bit depressed.

Hello everyone, I have type 1 diabetes for 31 years and recently I started a new diet 3 weeks ago, a very low carb with tons of healthy fruits and vegs one and realized that around 4 hours after a meal (when I start getting hungry) my bs drops way too fast, as if I had insulin. Well, I guess...

So this is going to sound super weird but I don't know what else to do. I have started having some strange diabetes symptoms here lately, such as hypoglycemic episodes and other things. I'll get nauseous, dizzy and feel sick and shaky and space out for a bit (like right now) until I've got...

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...

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...

Hi everyone, I’ll give you the short version of my story: Been drinking 4 beers a day for weeks. A little overweight, otherwise healthy male aged 40. Last week drank 12 beers and did not hydrate. The next day woke up ok (a little hungover). ~1 hour after breakfast had a hypoglycemic attack (I...

Hi all! Please give me som input so I can understand what my underlying health issue might be. I've had problems with low blood sugar for 20+ years. If I let more than 3 hours pass without eating, I start feeling nervous, have a hard time thinking straight, and get a headache. Eventually I...

What sort of levels is it normal to start feeling Hypo symptoms? I'm 22 and was diagnosed a type 1 in mid-February (about a month and a half ago). Initially I found I would have to go down to the low 3's to feel any of the symptoms, but I just randomly tested and it was 2.7 and I didn't feel...
