blood glucose levels

I was diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency in 2019. Every time I have to use the toilet my sugars rise. They get extremely high, and won’t go down until I am off the toilet and even then I have to wait for a while until they do before I do a correction. I would message my DSNs but...

Good evening, so I've been T2 for about 3 years, originally when I was diagnosed I tested my blood sugar until my doctor told me I didn't need to as I'd be getting tested every 6 months, then COVID happened and getting appointments have been impossible, recently I've not been feeling great about...

fairly recently diagnosed and been burying my head in the sand. GP/nhs have given me info and connections to resources that I couldn’t cope with at the time and I don’t know how to access them I may call tomorrow and ask. I have a meter, I’m type 2 but with a complicated history meaning while...

Hi all. I’ve had type one diabetes for almost 3 years and apart from the two times I’ve had covid plus little off days, my blood sugars are pretty good. Until recently I could have a normal dinner with a small dessert and 5 units of novo would be enough. Now I can barely have my dinner without...

Hello-sorry this is long but I am getting it off my chest! I've had T2 diabetes for years. I'm on metformin. I'm not very good with my diet but have been trying to be low carb for a few months now but struggle with it to be honest. I have frequent days when I fall off the wagon! I've only been...

I received the Libre 2 sensor from NHS for the first time yesterday but I am really concerned. Firstly, I acknowledged that it is normal about the difference between Sensor Glucose (Interstitial fluid) and Blood Glucose, according to Abbot website and manual instruction. However, I didn't...

I have type 1 diabetes and can keep my blood glucose levels between 6 and 8 mmol/L throughout the day. However, I am unsure why I feel tired if it wasn't high or low. I cannot focus on things and feel fairly sleepy for an hour or two hours then back to normal. It might be a lack of carbohydrate...

Hi guys, I was diagnosed over 10 years ago with T2, started on diet & exercise, then went on metformin one a day, became seriously unwell (not diabetes related) was increased to 3 a day. After a while started to get tummy problems with metformin so I was taken off it completely and went back to...

I made this video sharing how I put my type 2 into reverse and lost 50lbs in weight too. A definite side effect of lowering my carb intake. All carbs turn to sugar and diabetics are basically sugar intollerent. The less sugar the better. 45 minutes and 79 slides showing my journey which I...

Hi ‍♀️ I just found out last week, day after my birthday, that I’m Type 2 Diabetic! My mum had baked me the most delicious cake too Oh well, I got answers as to why I’ve been so ill lately! My blood test showed a result of 121 whichever measurement that is?! I’m not sure of all the tests and...

hi everyone! (this is my first post) ~ I’m type 1 and I’ve been doing a healthy calorie deficit for 5 months now to try and lose weight. I’m someone who’s gone from being glued to the sofa with bad BG levels almost all of the time to now very healthy eating and doing a lot of exercise, with my...

Diagnosed last week. In a rather unsatisfactory manner. (See my Bit of a Shock) thread in Newbies. I’ve been 16st something for a while now and I know I really needed to shift at least three stone... worth noting that max weight over the last four years has been recorded at 17 1/2 stone. Just...

Hi guys, I know this is early days, but I've had three days of Alogliptin now, and my sugars are still as high as they were before. I know it might be a tablet that takes a while to kick in, I just wondered how long it should take to start working? So I can give it the right amount of time to...
