Jim replied to Nyadach's discussion 'Funny hypo stories...'"In college I went to the grocery store to get some groceries.

Tim replied to Nyadach's discussion 'Funny hypo stories...'"Once in the middle of the night, with a bg pretty dang low, I wandered into the kitchen to treat the hypo with a small bowl of cereal.

Ok, hide sight is a wondrous thing, and as those on chat know I've had a few hypos in my time. Anyhow, some of them tended to turn out quiet amusing, and since many on here seem to fear hypos, thought why not bring out the funny side of them a bit. Or just use them to spot the major mistakes I made which caused them. If you have some, please tag some on :)The Easter Egg Incident: Well, as the title says it was coming up to Easter, and I was at work alone other than the boss who popped in…See More
Nyadach replied to Annabella's discussion 'Dr Bernstein on Insulin Pump Therapy'"I'm with Jen on this and I don't rate the guy. I know many on here seem to think he's amazing, but frankly I don't see it and personally think the guys a quack more interested in selling books."
Nyadach replied to julez_79's discussion 'scary low blood sugar story – what would you have done..?'"My usual rapid falls are due to incorrectly adjusting for the glycemic index of the food, and due to it causing either the insulin to kick in too early or too later and not hitting the raise at the right moment.

Nyadach replied to hello123's discussion 'does exercise also raise blood sugar in diabetes ?'"Over 215 I was always taught exercise is actually bad for us due to it increasing problems for various organs...well it feels pretty bad anyhow and I know my performance drops off massively even approaching that high a level.

Nyadach replied to hello123's discussion 'does exercise also raise blood sugar in diabetes ?'"Will need to remember Lantus has a VERY slow activation time of about 4 hours, so really your 7 units only kicked in mid way through the time you were being asleep.

Well, finally confirmed it, put it in the press and no getting out of it now. From June 15th I'm riding the 1100+ mile length of the UK in aid of the JDRF...eep! Not to make life easy, am doing it utterly unsupported with just me, the bike, and carrying all food, cloths, and tent with me. Should be a fun venture :)
