That is is mmol/L and the hospital don't care as I don't present any ketones in my blood. Last time I went up the hospital with high blood sugar was 2-3 weeks ago and they let me go home even though my blood sugars were +18 and ran out of Tresiba.24.9? Is that in mmol/L? Is there a professional you can talk to within time and budget? Despite what I said earlier I personally wouldn't be eating bran flakes if my level was 24.9 mmol/L. I'd probably be taking myself to hospital
Well the hospital needs to take responsibility then. Somehow make them, that's their job. I know that can be hard -- I have Asperger's and other conditions that make it difficult for me to be assertive -- but you deserve better treatment than that. I'm sorry, I'm angry now and can't think what to write. You paid good money for a service that I think you should be getting. Not getting sent home with hyperglycaemia and no Tresiba. I'm sorry I just find that ridiculous. I care for you and so should theyThat is is mmol/L and the hospital don't care as I don't present any ketones in my blood.

Going up the hospital is a waste of time and money for me, which I do not have the budget for, as I had spent £25 in taxis going to the hospital for that day, which is the equivalent of 2 weeks worth of food shopping for me.
Do you have someone who can go to hospital with you? Because I think you need those levels (ketones or not) sorted out before worrying about bran flakesThat is is mmol/L and the hospital don't care as I don't present any ketones in my blood.

I don't. All I can do is ring up my DN and wait for a voicemail or callback. I'm also waiting on a callback tomorrow from my GP to discuss my blood test results and hba1c.Do you have someone who can go to hospital with you?

Well all I can say is that I'm here anytime you need me. I think your healthcare system needs to help you a little bit better but that's just an opinion.I don't.

Interesting. Do you do any insulin injections in the morning?Similar to you, I’ve given up breakfast and only have coffee first thing, but I usually eat around 11:30 after the dog walk. Things like cheese, tuna, ham eggs and sometimes have it on low carb toast.
I take 48 units of Novorapid and 80 units of Lantus (previously Tresiba). Got told by my DN that Lantus and Tresiba are pretty much the same thing.Interesting. Do you do any insulin injections in the morning?
I know they do. My podiatrist was the one who told me about my hba1c and was straight on the phone to my doctors. I'm still waiting to be seen a Urologist and a Lymphedema clinic, but I keep on getting push backed appointments. I was also expected to go for a MRI scan on a early Sunday morning, but it was scheduled at a County hospital that was too far out to get to.Well all I can say is that I'm here anytime you need me.

Hi @akindrat18 I really hope you find this post helpful and not bold or cheeky. Do you know about the patient advocate service? ://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/someone-to-speak-up-for-you-advocateI was also expected to go for a MRI scan on a early Sunday morning, but it was scheduled at a County hospital that was too far out to get to.
It is and I did. Thank you. One of these days.@Margarettt is this the link?
I like to make a mix of eggs beaten with chopped tomatoes, spinach, peppers or anything you like. I also add black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, and chilli flakes. Sometimes some cheese too. Pour into greased or case lined muffin tins and bake (not sure how long, 10/15 mins maybe, until they look done!) You can eat them hot but they're great cold so I'm thinking for you to make in advance and they are ready to go for breakfasts. You can add anything to them or simply have the eggs. You can also make them by adding ingredients to the muffin trays and cracking an egg over. Still great cold the next day!I've been struggling with finding a suitable breakfast to have, as today I've had a actimel yoghurt drink at 8:30am and at work 2 bacon rashers, 2 sausages, 2 eggs and cheese just now.
I'm on insulin and test my blood sugars twice a day. I normally have weetabix or other type of breakfast cereal.
I can't stomach having hot food at home early in the morning at 7am, as I end up on the toilet before I set off for work and be late getting in.
I see you are in the UK.I don't know what is acceptable to me. My blood sugar this morning was 24.9 and I tested again tonight and my blood sugar is at 15.4. I am only able to test twice a day on a weekday and once a day on a weekend, due to only being prescribed 50 test strips a month.
I'm on a limited budget and bran flakes is the least carb cereal that I can think of.
I'm sure it's just the wording but that seems a bit reckless to me.Blood sugar down to 7.1 at 10:30am, so I had a hash brown and a hot chicken wrap for breakfast at work, once the butty van came.
