These pass days the pain I feel in my head is terrible.....type 1 for almost 9 years poorly controlled diabetes......my daily diet is 3 litres beer 2 to 4 litres diet coke..... little or no water....... Less than 10 carbs. What is causing so much head pain???? Sugar levels mainly 15 or above.
 
@jonniey I think you need to make an appointment with your gp and also get in touch with your diabetic specialist nurse and consultant in order to get support with your diabetes management and acceptance of being diabetic. There will also be a dietician to help you with your eating/drinking habits too
 
I hope you feel better soon. Get some help from your diabetes clinic and/or GP to sort out your blood sugar..
Leave off the beer and drink water. Take care.

Dude. I've been reading the OP's posts trying to get my head around how many carbs the guy actually consumes..?

Based on the beer.
The 4 slices of brown bread in the other thread.
.... & accounting the 10g he professes on this thread?
3 litres of booze a day..
The OP from memory lives in Africa. He also. Drifts between 10mmol & somewhere in the teens on the BS.
He takes on no water...

Oh yeah. Then there is the head pain?
So I'm gonna make a crazy guess the guy is an alcoholic "moderate carber" who under boluses. With heatstroke!??

But I'm not a doc. So what would I know......
 
Who else here has migraine type pain on a daily basis?? And do you perhaps know the cause? It's pain that changes places in my head or is all over.....I think its because my sugar is constantly high I'm not sure.
 
you have had a lot of helpful advise

Go and see your GP.

Don't be so ridiculous! If you've already posted on here for some informal guidance take the advice and see your doctor! With a diet like yours it's screaming hospital admissions all over! Get a grip and get control of yourself
 
I actually can't afford to go see a doctor. So I'll just try and get my sugar down and hope and pray the pain goes away completely....
 
If you continue with your current life style you will probably continue with your pain. You need to eat properly and ditch the beer and diet coke diet.
 
Thanks for the advise I'll have to change.....no other way. I just want to feel normal again it's a dream to me.

Blunt but caring talk coming up. Would you say you're alcohol dependent? If the answer is yes, then you're an alcoholic. It's a way of coping, like other substances, including cigs, but this continued drinking won't end well - I think you know that. No nagging or judgement from me, but honesty. Go to your doc and look into finding the help you need - that part had to come from you.
We'll support you with the rest x
 
Which country are you in!
 
No i didn't drink Today at all because I felt like dying yesterday......I almost thought I would the anxiety was terrible....so I'm gonna lay off the alcohol I'm struggling too much because of the beer and wasting alot of $ for nothing really
 
He's got what is commonly known as a bleedin hangover...a permanent one as he's never off the booze.
 
As i said on your other thread, Dieet Coke and most other colas have got caffeine in and it could be the caffeine thats giving you the headaches. The beer won't be helping as alcohol is dehydrating.
