hypoglycemia

Hi all. I'm still relitively new to insulin and have a few nooby questions. 1) for the ladies. Can insulin mess with menstruation? I missed a period (definitely not pregnant) this month. Which is very unusual for me. Has anyone else had this? 2) night time hypos Today I had my first...

Is it normal to get a hypo AFTER a meal? Is it normal to feel depressed after a hypo? How do you stop weight gain associated with insuin/tightening blood glucose control? I am so fed up right now

Hi, I am a third year student at The University of Salford studying Television and Radio. I am in the process of making a radio documentary for my final project about Dogs for Diabetics. It will be a 30 minute documentary highlighting the dangers of Type 1 diabetes and why dogs can be so useful...

Hi there everyone! This is my first post, and just really looking for some advice. Yesterday was my first day as low (lower than usual) carb diet. I usually consume >150 carbs per day, however yesterday brought that down to 80g. It was going really well, sugars stayed in range all day, even...

I woke up around 5:00am to find I was hyperglycemic. 14.9! So I had 12 units of Novorapid to lower it. I checked again at 9:00am to find I was still at 11.4. So I had something to eat regardless to avoid a hypo. Started the shift at one, felt ok, so I carried on. Very busy shift with no time to...

Any advice for exercise as a T1 diabetic on Novarapid and Lantus regime? My doctors state that my glycogen stores are pretty depleted, thus am suffering with awful blood sugar crashes from even walking for thirty minutes I am on the waiting list for a pump, so I'm.curious as to what you guys...

Hello, I think it's time I admit I need help. I have had type 1 diabetes for nearly 6 years now and things are not looking up. Through these years, I have had roughly 16 episodes of severe nightly hypoglycemia - bad enough to have the ambulance called, as I lose consciousness when I'm asleep. I...

Hi everyone! I am a Type 1 Diabetic doing a Chemistry experiment for my senior year of high school in Canada. I want to test the speed of glucose release (rate of reaction) of various glucose-based hypoglycemic treatments (tablets, liquids, gels, etc.). The end goal is to determine which...

Hello, I have been a Type 1 diabetic for some time now. I have got my sugars under control but have started getting hypos more often. I was wondering if anyonep on going e could tell me how they treat them. I ketoo far the other way and getting high readings. Its mainly during the night. Any...

Good morning my beautiful friends! I hope that you are all having a lovely day! Do you find that the DAFNE suggested waiting time for treating hypoglycemia isn’t working? Here is what happened to me yesterday evening. Pre-dinner time I was at (a non flattering) 10.4. I had 30 grams of carbs, 3...

Hi! Along with t1 diabetes, I have multiple food intolerances and allergies, celiac disease and sulfite sensitivity. I have a really hard time finding foods that I tolerate to correct hypos with. Glucose and dextrose is usually derived from starches that I am allergic to and bleached with...

Hellooooooo Every time I go cycling I have to carry a bag with me to keep snacks in, this is annoying during hot weather as the snacks get warm and my back is agitated by the bag! What do you all do in preparation of exercise? I wish I wasn't so scared of low blood sugars while I am far away...
