Hi everyone

I'm mum to Oliver almost 7 (in June). He was diagnosed at 11 months old and even now i sometimes struggle with managing his diabetes. I find that we just get into a routine that works for a while and then we have to start playing with it all. It can be so frustrating!!

He is a wonderful little boy that copes brilliantly with his diabetes. I dont let it stop him doing anything - swimming, karate, beavers, out and about with his friends we just have to do a little more testing beforehand.

Does anyone else find that they have to start playing with longterm insulin and if it's hot lower it. Now the weather is back to gloomy lol he is going high. Should it change depending on the daily weather as not had to do this before! Any advice greatly appreciated.

thanks

fran

Hi
Miriam Here. I am newly diagnosed this week with type 2.
I am 56 years old, female and living in Gloucestershire, England with my partner of 18 years.
I am a Teacher in a landbased college, some sort of Quaker and we go camping every year.

I have registered with this forum in order to learn as much as I need, not as much as there is to know, about type 2 so that I can get control of it and find support to be disciplined, which doesn't come naturally to me which is why I am now type 2!
I am looking forward to sharing and learning with y'all.

hi Miriam

thank you for your reply.

i think you are right i should just try to learn what i need to know not all there is as the topic is enormous.

i am learning fast as i have gone rapidly from diet to metformin to the addition of gliclazide at max doses. six weeks ago morning slow acting insulin was added, i thought i was doing well but my sugars were still too high. on tuesday i start on rapid acting insulin 3 x a day. i am already used to blood sugar testing even though type 2 s don't always need to do it. my diabetes has been bought on by high doses of prednisolone used for my brittle asthma to try and prevent multiple admisssions to hospital.
my dad has type 2 and has never done sugars testing, he takes one metformin a day. i struggle with the metformin and gliclazide they make me nauseous and can cause vomiting. even with slow release.
I am also on high dose of quetiapine and that can cause high sugars too.
i have had a lovely day with my hydrotherapy session where i can exercise in comfort in the warm pool, today was my first day without a carer in with me, i enjoyed the freedom. then a friend came this afternoon.
