At the moment I don't due to a digestive issue, but ordinarily I have a bar of chocolate every other day.
It can be up to 5 injections, if you eat say 2 or 3 times a day and get away with just injecting your basal insulin once a day (as opposed to split-dosing to give a full 24 hour coverage) then you can inject less on MDI .
Congrats on the 43 years, but not the hypo...............I have a confession though... I had a Mars bar last month to celebrate 43 years of T1.
Initially I had it well under control, but then ended up a tad hypo
Thanks - it was only mildCongrats on the 43 years, but not the hypo...............
How come you went hypo and not hyper? Sorry if that's a dim question.Thanks - it was only mild
It took 5 units of insulin for it but should have taken 4.How come you went hypo and not hyper? Sorry if that's a dim question.
Oh, ok, that makes sense.It took 5 units of insulin for it but should have taken 4.
It just seemed so... sugary (I'm normally on a low carb diet).
Thank you
Thanks Nigel - still seems a way off yet.
It wont be offered unless you ask. The reason being that as far as your ccg is concerned people with diabetes are classed as 2nd class citizens thus the cheapest option even if not the most suitable is offered first until the patient wises up.As yet, no one has me offered MDI. Doesn't that mean about 5 injections per day? I don't fancy that at all.
Hotel Chocolat 100% bars. There are four different regions and they are all delicious and have their own flavours. fabulous treat. 10g Carbs per 100g bar!!!Try being really hardcore and go for the Lindt 99% chocolate bar! The only place I have found it so far is Waitrose. A couple of times I have forgotten to bring a low carb dessert when I'm out and about, so I have had half a bar of 99% chocolate, which is about the same nutritional value as what I would have brought. It definitely takes a bit of getting used to, but I love it now
Hmmmm, this is rather intriguing! I may well be researching this soon.Hotel Chocolat 100% bars. There are four different regions and they are all delicious and have their own flavours. fabulous treat. 10g Carbs per 100g bar!!!
