viviennem said:Oh, Linkin! You were only 1.3 away from going to hospital! I'm glad it went down again, but it really doesn't do your body any good. It can't be easy for you, but do try not to give in so spectacularly. Well done for testing afterwards, though - now you know that it nearly put you into hospital, it might help you not to do it again.
Have you asked at your doctor if there's a local diabetic support group in your area? That might help you get in touch with people your own age so you can learn how others cope. They're out there - they're on here, too. Read around a bit more.

couldnt agree more excellent advice viv
viviennem said:I was replying to what Linkinparkfan posted about what he'd been personally told to do. In your place I would discuss those readings with your doctor or another HCP. It is, as you say, 'not good'.
Do you know what you'd eaten to cause it to go so high? I note you're on insulin, which I know nothing about, but maybe someone else can help.

louiseb said:have you tryed eating low carb alternatives that will satisfy your sugar craving but not have as much as an impact on your bg.
try a few pieces of very dark choclate like at least 75% cocoa.
also have you looked at the low carb receipe section you make your own cake and adapt the receipe to make it alot lower carb.
ill go find you a receipe I use for choclate cake
