Diabetic for 1.5 yrs now..

Hi, I have been a diabetic for 1 & half years now, when I was first diagnosed my sugars was around 20. or higher & when I started to take my insulin, after the first few weeks my sugars slowly dropped to an average of 6. to 8. Now I was currently taking 12mill morning & evening, however I was told that will rise greatly as the honeymoon period wears off. However the greatest thing I fear is the loss of my eyesight or even allowing it to get worse, so im very strict with what I eat & I am now on 16 in morning & 18 at night for the passed 8 months now.

Anyways, now you know a little about me & would like to ask a question. I have been having seriously painful headaches around the front of my head & behind my eyes. If I move to fast it hurts, if I talk it hurts & if I open my eyes for TV or even sunlight it hurts, when I close my eyes to try n sleep it feels like the room is spinning & I start to feel very sick & noxious I have just completed a day & night nurse, & now its returned, although its not as bad however it makes me feel sleepy & no apatite in food or anything because of it.

My sugars are around 7. at the moment & if I eat something that makes my sugars jump above 12. I no longer eat it.

Hope someone can help or give me advise as the pain at most times is getting to a point I cant cope..

Hi, went to the GP this morning & he did a few checks & he says its not my sinus when he checked, however they could be some small infection of some sort. Was not quite sure what was the cause of it but with it been persistent & painful, he told me to complete a course of medication, co-codamol 1 or 2 4 times a day & Cefalexin 1 3 times a day & if it persists im to return to him as soon as i can.

yep, he said it could be a possibility however migraines usually go after a good nights sleep & not persistent for a few days like mine is. But 2nd day of taking the pills n i feel much better, so lets see how it goes after completing the course

Well, so far ive been feeling well, although i completed one of my med course & left with a few more days of co-codamol's. I forgot to take some this morning n my headache is starting to come back.

I agree with the symptoms of migraines as when, which i believe it has to of been a migraine as ive never felt such pain in my life, even when i was shot threw the arm whilst in the army didnt even hurt as much. The pain is just unbelievable & i just cant bring myself to do anything & it angers me when people try & talk to me, even the wife or my little son & i hate feeling like that as its not what a farther should feel towards his wife & kids. But im told thats what migraines can do when there causing extream amounts of pain.

anyways, if the headaches come back when ive completed my course, i will go back to the GP with details from the site & maybe he will understand.

thanks
