Have had type2 Diabetes for 4 years. On humulin m3 twice a day for 2 years.had horrific mouth ulcers ?cause for a week. Have seen Dentist gp and maxillary /facial consultant on Christmas Eve. On lots of medication. Can't eat - too painful. Have managed Complan vegetables and liquidised cold C mas dinner yesterday. Have reduced Insulin from 42 units x 2 to 32 units x2 per day but bg still low. Could I stop Insulin altogether pro temps? Nobody around to ask unless I dial 111 again. First time on here. Would be grateful for any help
 
You really need medical advice.
If you can't speak to a DSN (do they have emergency duty nurse?) Then go with 111 and ask for advice.
Sorry can't help further and best of luck
 
Thanks - no emergency duty diabetic nurse - beginning to think like you that it's 111 again...
 
Really sorry to hear this.
I'm not an insulin user, and really can't offer anything useful.
But, if you are going low, please do dial 111.

If you think you are going too low, dial 999.

Come back and let us know how you are getting on.

You really do need to ask a professional about this .
As a Diabetic we are always told never to stop using or taking our insuin .
As you are not eating food and going too low BG levels - this certainly
needs some professional advice and steering for yourself

Please contact 111 and let them know of your current situation .
Do let us all know how things go as we will be thinking of you with genuine concern .
