hypoglycaemia

I’ve wanted to begin being more healthy, as I’ve been sick too many times recently (virus and flu in less than 2 weeks of each other). I know germs mostly caused it, but I also think that me being unable to eat proper meals (due to a severe bowel condition that affects everything when I eat)...

Hi everyone, I hope this is ok to post here. I struggle really badly with hyper / hypo anxiety. I have Type 2 and since diagnosis in 2022 I've had hyperglycemia anxiety. If I reach 9mmol I start to panic that I'm going to end up having really high readings and end up in hospital with DKA or...

I've been tracking my BG levels for two days now with a Libre 2 sensor. I'm not diabetic (my A1C was 35 recently) but I have had some recurring hypoglycemic incidents in the past, usually during exercising (walking) 2-3 hours after meals. These are now being managed during daytime by eating...

This is another study looking at UK people before and after getting Libre, and again shows improvements in everything they measured (HbA1c, GOLD score of hypo awareness, etc.). https://abcd.care/announcement/flash-glucose-monitoring-use-associated-reduction-diabetes-distress

Hello. I’m Ann a new member. (T2 on insulin) I’m on a crusade to improve my diet and health by significantly reducing carbs and continuing my tumeric supplements. I had a bg reading of 4.6 - 2hrs after evening meal yesterday - a little too low I think. I fixed it with a sandwich and cocoa. It...

For people with diabetes, taking medications and monitoring their blood sugar is part of the rhythm of their daily lives. However, according to new research from Mayo Clinic, more than 20% of adult patients in the U.S. are likely treated too intensively. This has caused thousands of potentially...

Hello I am new here

Hi, I'm new here and feel absolutely awful. Since January I've been investigated for an under active thyroid. I've not been able to keep any food down at all. The last 8 weeks have been horrendous; literally fainting, vomiting up to 20 times a day, not being able to be near food due to nausea...

Hi, new guy here, so apologies if I am in the wrong section. I thought about the parenting section but that seemed to be more about parents with kids with diabetes. We haven't gotten that far yet. So I need some help, advice, words, that kind of thing.. My partner and I want to start having kids...

Hello everyone! I have had type 1 diabetes for just over 2 years now and have recently started taking "20mg citalopram" I'm not sure if the two are connected however, recently I CANT stop hypoing. It's becoming such a problem last week my bloods began at 3.6 and I drank my normal of orange juice...

Hello! I'm going travelling soon to South East Asia and really really want to dive. I got my open water to 18m in Malta 2 years ago and haven't done a dive since I was diagnosed in March 2018 haven't had and hypo's where I've blacked out. Not been a total super-woman at bloody sugars but...

Hi there I was diagnosed type 1 in March so just getting to grips with everything! I am going travelling soon to South East Asia and need to carry with me some emergency long-acting carb hypo treatments with me, roughly about 20g and I want them low fat and low sugar as I've put weight on since...

Hi everyone, My 3.5 year old daughter has constant low blood sugar, ranging from 1.9mmol/L (fasting) to 4.4mmol/L (after meal). She can show symptoms of hypoglycaemia in the morning, including a couple of scary episodes. I have taken her to the doctors 3 times but they dismiss us every time...

Nurses should no longer give diabetics Lucozade to curb their dangerously low blood sugar, new guidelines state. The fizzy drink has long been considered an effective emergency option to treat hypoglycaemia, the medical term for low blood sugar. If left untreated, patients can slip into a...

I have had 2 hypoglycaemic episodes which sent me into documented atrial fibrillation. The AF occurred after the hypoglycaemic episode were self limited. They both reverted to normal sinus rhythm within several hours without treatment. I have had no other episodes of AF. I can' t find much in...

Just passing through to say hello, and wish everyone a good day! Having a little hypo as we speak, have treated with dextros tablets and will retest in 20 minutes. QUESTION: What's your go-to hypo treatment? Do you go for practicality, or use it to have a tasty treat? :) xxx

I've recently started exercising a lot more that I used to and have taken up cycling and zumba. The trouble is that every time i exercise i experience really late onset of low sugar levels and despite running them higher during exercise can't seem to avoid this. The most recent example was last...

Hello! my name is Lauren, I'm new to the forum but I have had type one for 5 years since the age of 15. I have been advised to consult this forum for some advice. It would seem that I have lost my hypo symptoms. Usually I can tell that I'm hypo because of shaking/sweating but recently I've had...

At meal time today my blood reading was 4.1. What would you normally do in this situation in terms of taking insulin and eating? Would you treat for a hypo and then eat/inject or would you simply inject and eat as per normal and not treat for a hypo as "technically" it isn't?

Northwestern Medicine researchers are co-investigators in a breakthrough clinical trial that found transplanted human islets prevent hypoglycemic events and provide excellent glycemic control for patients with Type 1 diabetes with severe hypoglycemia. The results of the multi-center, single arm...
