[QUOTE="RobC, post: 238740, member: 40234"] Hi, Ever since diagnosis, or more precisely since I started on Insulin I have been suffering from a thick or sore head. It’s a persistent surface ache around my forehead, generally weakest first thing in the morning and then consistent from lunchtime onwards. Whilst not painful I’m finding it incredibly distracting and it’s impacting my work. Help! Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Potted History: I was diagnosed in Jan 2011 as Type 1 age 42 and have probably had elevated BG levels for 12-18months prior. Control is good(HBA 5.9), I go low(3-4) probably twice a week and exceed 10+ around 5 times a week. I take c8units Lantus daily and c10units Humalog, so possibly still in honeymoon period. The advice from the consultant is that I’m too low too often so I’ve been aiming higher of late, with no benefit to how I feel. I work in London during the week so controlling diet is not always easy, but I do subscribe to the low(ish) carb approach and try to keep below 100g carb/day. I drink a couple of glasses of red wine a day, going to cut that out for the next three weeks and see what difference that makes.
