[QUOTE="Wayward Blood, post: 2308995, member: 520440"] Hi All! Basically I’m just here to complain today. I became a Dad a few weeks ago, and it’s turned out to be far more physically demanding than I expected. I’ve been struggling to keep my blood sugar levels above 4, but just about managing with a LOT of glucose tablets. This obviously isn’t healthy in the long run, and my stomach hasn’t been thanking me either. I’ve spent the last few days adjusting my insulin doses, and now have things pretty much under control. This has massively reduced my glucose intake, and I’ve not needed to worry about hypos for the past couple of days. However, I’m now getting sugar withdrawal symptoms! I’m hungrier than I’ve been in years, and meal times can’t come quickly enough. I’m also finding myself even more tired than usual and with a headache that disappears when I eat. I can deal with this, and it’s very much a temporary thing, but I thought I’d visit the forums and have a good old fashioned complain in the meantime! It’s really nice to be able to go out for a walk with my son without having to stop and scan every 2 minutes in case I’ve gone low. [/QUOTE]
