Type 2 diabetic. On a few days I have had uncontrollable trembles and feeling unstable, dizzy. I had to lie down till I feel better. Done a b/s check and got an 10 reading on my meter after breakfast. I did have a cuppa tea just before but only 1 sugar. Could this be a hypo. I am not on meds for...

What do people carry with them in case of hypos? In the last 2 weeks I’ve had readings of 4.1,3.4 and 2.8 on waking up from an afternoon nap. All 3 were at home so was able to eat some fruit. My symptoms were very blurry vision, but otherwise feeling OK. I would like something easy to carry in...

what effect does marijuana have on your diabetes? I smoke fairly regularly but not daily and wouldn't call myself a stoner, usually i don't notice any effects on my blood sugars but i believe my blood sugars aren't as erratic after I've smoked. the other evening i was out for a walk with my...

Thanks to my little bichon frise i'm still here and can write this post! Normally when going to bed I have a small snack of a Jacobs cracker with peanut butter as my BS is usually around 6-7 mmols and tend to drop in the night before the DP hits around 4am - I usually correct this when I wake at...

My husband has Type 2 (diagnosed several years ago). Recently a new GP at our surgery 'poached' him from the Diabetic Nurse clinic as part of her 'study set' for some research.. During the last few months she has become determined to bring his readings down to the extent that she has continually...

How long does it take for juice to make the blood sugar level start to rise?

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...

My doc have told me that she wants to reduce my lows to none. Of course I want that also but doing so would force me to increase my blood sugar to a level that I don't want to, she does not answer my question on how often the normal amount of lows are. So I decide to check with you guys, to see...

Hi all, lowered my basal back in Jan and had been happy with my numbers until this Sunday. Since Sunday I've been plummeting from 8.3 to 3.2 in under an hour, eating for Europe and still taking an hour to be safe to drive. Do I give things a bit longer to settle or do I reduce basal by 1u and...
