Hi my name is Bobby , living on the coast of England. I have a Hearing Dog as I am am severely deaf. but can speak - conversing can be tricky. My dog listens for sounds at home eg alarm clock. doorbell, pill alarm . He lets me know which one it is. He has to go into country or park to be off the lead each day. So i enjoy walking , finding country or beach spots and new places to go. I garden a little and love to watch birds, fox, and flowers grow. We had primroses in September which bloomed round to April.
Im hoping to find some fellow diabetics who experience some or all of these ; Hb1ac 51 - satisfactory. Metformin and one dose insulin; Low weight 45kg - 49kg (but increase desired) Hypers, Hypos, and Generally very puzzled about managing my diabetes and my day to day diet and my weight
My family and I , plus dog visit our local church regularly, we host a small group once a month . Being in our home its possible to mange the sound quality. One member is a type 2 bu thats related to weight more than mine is. At some point hearing from others with diabetes condition like mine would be good but maybe not when saying Hi

Hi @Bobby105 , nice to meet you!
Hb1ac 51 - satisfactory. Metformin and one dose insulin; Low weight 45kg - 49kg (but increase desired) Hypers, Hypos, and Generally very puzzled about managing my diabetes and my day to day diet and my weight
Have you found any patterns relating to your food or the timing of your insulin with the hypers and hypos?
Have you ever used a continuous monitor like freestyle libre to help finding patterns? They do a free trial if you've never used one before.
