My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ru-vid.comUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.

Thanks so much for this info, I have had diabetes for 5 years and it is so much to deal with, I am a minor making me young and having diabetes, it is confusing and I struggle with it so much. I can tell what it is doing to me, I am low quite frequently so I have to have sweets to get it up.

@TES-bt8sv Год назад

Lucie, you need to speak with your Doctor if you are having frequent lows. You are probably eating foods that will spike your sugar, such as too many carbs or processed foods that you can only estimate the carb level. Also, when you eat 'sweets' when you are low, do you know the exact carb level in the sweets? If you don''t, you'll then go high with your blood sugar. Maybe try correcting a low with a healthy carb with a known carb level or glucose tablets. Good luck!

@WiseOne93 2 года назад

Is it important to keep the insulin cold in a fridge??? I noticed my sugar levels have been going quite high after meals. My diabetic doctor said to take 3 units of novorapid before teatime and 14 units of levemir at 8pm and still get high sugar levels. Plus I'm also allergic to gluten and notice that gluten free foods are high in sugars so maybe that's the cause. I'm gonna try using your method and see how it plans out. Thankyou so much!

Richard, the idea is that you press the plunger on the insulin pen until the dial goes back to 0. Then count to 10, slowly, to give the dose of insulin that you dialled up time to enter your body before removing the needle.

i don't understand why people are been told to only inject below the belly button when at least 2 charts plus my insulin monitoring app shows that you can inject above the belly button. So no wonder so many diabetics have problems the amount of even the most simplistic advice which contradicts other sites is crazy. As an example i use the Diabetes:M app for keeping track and even that shows injection above the belly button is acceptable

How many times needle can be used? Because in india my doctor advised that i can change it about 2days

@diabetesuk 3 года назад

Hi Sachin. Normally, there are two types of insulin pens. The first kind is one that already has insulin in which you throw away after it’s empty. The second is a pen you can reuse with insulin cartridges that you change. Talk to your healthcare professional about which type of pen is right for you. However, if you'd like to speak to a helpline adviser about this in more detail, feel free to pop an email to us on helpline@diabetes.org.uk. Take care.

You need to actually see the insulin appear out of the needle, otherwise you might be priming an air bubble and still have air instead of insulin when you inject. The amount of insulin ejected is tiny. :)

Start fasting with low sugar fruits like grapes it will reverse your condition, then eat only keto (no sugar at all! No bread/pasta ) everything is full of chemicals. Clean your gut and the diabitues will reverse itself. Intermittent fasting has helped milions of people(me too). Dont take medication they will f** up all your body and it will be way worse to handle

If you need further support with anything, please contact our helpline (www.diabetes.org.uk/about_us/contact_us). Take care.

Most people say you should do the injection in your stomach so why not showcase this? Would be better :(
