if it makes your life easier then why notMy question tonight is: Is it worth spending £60 on two pairs of lady underwear with insulin pump pockets? Organic cotton and very high quality apparently.
i need to tell my dsn my feelings but how do i do that its easy telling you guys some of how i feel (you guys are not right in front me) but i dont like being weak or needy iv been asked by previous nurses how am i coping mentally i just tell them im fine im afraid ill open up and cry im a very emotional empathetic guy oh and shyChris, sending you a hug! I know diabetes is an everyday struggle, but right now you really need the support from your diabetes team, GP and someone who you can talk too.
You can first research on some of the diabetes technology, make a list on what you want to talk about and include the things you are having difficulties with. Also bring your BG book to show your levels. It’ll be a well researched structured discussion.i need to tell my dsn my feelings but how do i do that its easy telling you guys some of how i feel (you guys are not right in front me) but i dont like being weak or needy iv been asked by previous nurses how am i coping mentally i just tell them im fine im afraid ill open up and cry im a very emotional empathetic guy oh and shy
i know but when i was in hospital i wanted to get out i didn't remember i was there mainly for dka not the flu and pneumonia i was a bit rude to her my head was all over the place now im back to myself i know she was trying to help me but i just kind of pushed her awayNurses are always there to help, they don’t judge you and they will do anything to help you with diabetes management.
Worst case scenario? You're stuck in a traffic queue on the motorway, in a car with auto-engine-off and with falling blood sugar levels.
The device stops your starter motor from working and you're sitting in the middle lane unable to get to safety?
What happens next?
how do i mention someone without quoting them ?
thing i can almost grantee i have taken to much tonight its always 20 units of levemir and maybe a correction dose of novorpid at 8 or 9 pm well tonight i took a correction dose of 6 at 8 then another at 11 of 8 units and 24 units of levemir i will hypo tonight and nobody will hear meGday Chris85. Many years ago I had a bit of drama a few times with blood sugars way out of control. Normally pretty good but went haywire. I wondered if I was becoming insulin resistant as I was having huge doses of insulin and even not eating anything sometimes to see no change in bloods at all. Found an article somewhere on the web and it was from an old bloke that said bring your sugar down in small doses. As insulin is a hormone, having huge doses close together makes the body resist it as a fail safe from overdosing. Not sure how much truth is in it but when I went from correction bolusing 15 units to working it out properly any using 4-5 units, it came back into range a lot quicker. Hope this helps. Cheers.
Look back on this thread to find the page and post number you started this conversation with and make a note of it. When you see your dsn, look it upand tell her you find it difficult to explain how you feel and ask her to take her time reading trough the last couple of pages.i need to tell my dsn my feelings but how do i do that its easy telling you guys some of how i feel (you guys are not right in front me) but i dont like being weak or needy iv been asked by previous nurses how am i coping mentally i just tell them im fine im afraid ill open up and cry im a very emotional empathetic guy oh and shy

Should you end up crying, doesn't matter, she's a HCP and can't tell anyone
your still awake must be nearly half 2
yeah but my dutch friend said you guys would say it's half two at 13:30 is that not trueThe Dutch are just an hour ahead. I've done gigs in the Netherlands, no big "jet lag."
Check your watch. Being an hour ahead means that indeed it's past half 2. In Dutch, that isThe Dutch are just an hour ahead. I've done gigs in the Netherlands, no big "jet lag."
