Hi everyone,
I was surprised today finally met my diabetes nurse today for the first time!
She was very easy going and explained alot to me!
I got a new meter and test sticks as she said there will be no problem getting test sticks on prescription as she can see that i am using them for testing! i had made up a list to show how by blood sugars were doing!
she said that my low blood sugars yesterday were screaming out and my brain was causing a hypo as that was the lowest my blood sugars had been! She said i must stop missing meals as there can be complications from skipping meals!
She also said that the low carb works as well as a low Gi diet can work as well!
She knows that i have already got other health problems, she says that if i can not get my evening blood sugars down then i may be looking at going on a pill to lower the levels in the evening!
she was very helpful, i told her that i had joined this forum and she said that there are lots of good recipes and lots of people who can help!
i must admit i was not looking forward to attending the appointment but it went well!
I would like to thank everybody who has given me great advice, you have all been so helpful in everyway!
Sandy
 
Hi sue,
she wants to see me agin on the 7th may just to check all is okay! But she says that low carb etc is the way to go with diabetes! Or low Gi also works, she says different ways work for different people!
She was so nice and was willing to listen to what i had to say! She seemed really nice!
 
Sandy,
You've got a rare diamond there.
 
Hi Handar,
she is so nice, i phoned her after coming back from shopping today! I forgot lunch and was down to 4.8. I knew she was in clinic she phoned me straight back!
Asked me did i have any chocolate in house, i said no! She said anything,
I said i had bought fiancee some hot cross buns, she said have one of those! She said just don't panic and you will be okay!
Then said to me why not any lunch!
It was so hot while out shopping i just didnot feel up to eating!
My blood sugar shot up to 10. something!
I am fine now, had evening meal tonight blood sugars now back down to 7.8,
I forgot that i needed to eat, it is so much to rememeber! I am used to doing all sorts in the day!
But it was so horrid the feeling of the hypo!
I am so lucky to have a good diabetes nurse! She is so kind, and told me no matter what time of the day there is always someone on end of a line, if not her in the clinic, then there will be someone at A&E that i could talk to quick if i have worries!
I see her again on the 7th of may! As she made me feel so comfortable, i felt so at ease!
 
That's great news Sandy i am still waiting to see a nurse and not sure our practice has one but then again I have a very handsome endocrinologist I have to see every 3 months :)
