hi this is maybe a weird question to ask, but i’ve had blood sugars in the 30’s (almost 600 mg/dl) for hours now and i have some ketones. highest they’ve been today is 2.3 on a blood ketone meter. my question is, how likely is it to go into a diabetic coma? i’m getting worried about it cause...

Hi everyone I’m new here, my partner is type 1 and has been for many years. He recently started with the liber device. Since having this rapid monitoring system we have noticed sugars climbing high about 9am in the morning (every morning) and continuing up steadily. Even though he has had...

Hi, I’ve been pre-diabetic for a few years now, managed to lose a little weight but it’s been difficult due to disability and mobility. Because of this I have been keeping an eye on my blood sugar every few months. This week I done a fasting blood glucose test and the reading was 7.2, I thought...

Hey! It’s nice to post here again. Basically, I have a hard time not giving myself a hard time with high bloods. I have some questions and general concerns I want to get off my chest. 1) Last diabetes appointment my HbA1C level was 42 mmol/mol. The doctor was really happy about it and so was...

Hello! New member here :) I've been type 1 diabetic since 2008 and vegan for 4 years. Initially going vegan helped my blood sugar control immensely - eating more plant based foods.. etc But lately my sugars have been out of whack, without my diet changing.. not great! Are there any vegans...

Hello! First thing's first, I'm not diabetic, only the boyfriend of a lovely young woman whose got diabetes. I've been trying to help her as much as I can with her management (counting carbs, keeping an eye on her blood sugars, and even starting to read think like a pancreas, which I highly...

I am on insulin (Novorapid + Levemir) and my diabetes is well controlled. Two weeks ago I was prescribed 5mg Amlodipine daily to bring my blood pressure back to normal. I've suffered no obvious side effects, and it appeared to have no effect on my diabetes. Today I took my reading as normal...

Heya. I’m 28 years old, work full time and have been a T1 now for 12years. I have always been on novorapid as my fast acting and recently changed to Levimer as my long acting. However, this past 3 weeks I have been experiencing high BMs of 16 and above. Sometimes I have ketones, and sometimes I...

Don’t understand what’s going on! My sugar levels are high before I’ve eaten something and then when I test after I’ve eaten (after 1.5hours what my midwife says) they are in normal range. Only thing I can think of is that I have coffee (decaf) inbetween my meals so would that make it higher? I...

I have been having trouble controlling my diabetes so as of Sunday I started Humulin M3. The thing is the readings have become higher and just before lunch was 28.3. Does the insulin take a while to work? Should I be phoning someone up to tell them? Any advice would be great thanks Paula

Hi there, I went to a wedding on Saturday and got very drunk on wine (silly me!). During the night straight after drinking I had a hypo, which is pretty typical. However, the last couple of times I have had too much to drink (does not happen regularly), for a day or two after, my sugar levels...

Is anyone having any problems with FIASP batch HS66L89? Or any degludec/tresiba batched at the moment? X

Hi Everyone, Could I ask, if you have a raised blood sugar before your next meal how do you deal with it. A or B or do you have another method? A. Take insulin as you would normally plus an extra correction. B. Take insulin as you would normally plus extra correction, but wait (i'm using a...

Hi all, Very new here so thanks in advance for your support. I'm Type 1, diagnosed in 2002, now aged 30. My partner and I are trying for our first baby. I have been using the omnipod patch pump system since December and have seen a dramatic improvement in my sugars (HbA1c has come down from 64...

Hello everyone This is my first time posting on here so apologies if I get anything wrong.. I'm type 1 diabetic and every morning for about 2 years my blood sugar is above 20. I've tried splitting my levemir dose, increasing and decreasing, have been put on metformin.. everything! My diabetic...

This has happened to me 3 times, over my 17 years of diabetes, & I’m wondering is it just me or has this happened to anyone else? My tastes buds seem to slowly stop working when I’ve gone through periods of sustained high blood sugars, for whatever reason; prolonged illness. It happens slowly...

Hi all, I got diagnosed with type 1 back in April 2016, since then I have got 'lost' in the system and never really had a good support group. I have struggled with it ever since and every kind of help I have reached out to, just faded out. I still don't know how insulin works and how to carb...

Hi everyone, I hope you're in good health and well. I need help and advice in how I can help my mum. She's 80 and has had Type 2 since 1998 as well as chronic arthritis and the pain that comes with that. When she feels arthritis pain, that increases her blood glucose levels. She describes the...

Last few days my pre-lunch readings have been 10 plus. I use carb counting which works with every other mealtime. Woke up this morning, at 4.8, had 2 croissants and took the correct doses? Was 11.5 when I checked later that day. What could be causing this? Not eating enough?
