    Backwards Hypo/Hyper Feelings

    Hi all, I joined specifically to ask this question. Lately I've been feeling as if my bloods are low; achy, tired, adrenaline rises, all that jazz, but when I check my bloods they're normal/high. I think the weirdest was a level of 16mmol, but I was sweaty and weak. Obviously when I Google...

    Tired of finger pricking

    I thought I could get used to having to prick my finger (several times a day) to measure my glucose levels but this is honestly very frustrating. I hate the feeling and it makes me feel so helpless. I started researching some ways for measuring my glucose levels without a finger prick. For me...

    Continuous spikes after breakfast

    Hi all, I have been T1 for 21 years and have struggled in the past to keep my sugars under control. Over the last 2 years my control has improved a lot (hba1c has gone for 248 to 139).

    Over 33.3mmol AGAIN!!

    I'm seeing my gp in regards to my diabetes in the morning. Shall I wait it out or visit a&e once again? My baby is fast asleep in his cot so could do with staying home in all honestly. Ketones are only 2+ so that's not too bad. Would I be okay to wait until the morning?

GP is closed until morning otherwise I'd call them. Is...
