Thankfully I have a dexcom G4 so I can see exactly what's happening with my bg Normally my levels are very good so I'm not sure how much I should worry about this. Like is it possible to get the same level of control while on steroids.. or how much damage would I be doing if this is the best I...

I felt like I had already increased alot, so good to know others have had to increase alot aswell. Will probably have to up mine more.

Hmm definitely something to think about, thanks , I'm a very fussy eater and am after losing a lot of weight so I'm trying to gain at the moment. I don't think I'd be able to cut carbs out totally but could cut down.

Spikes come down after about an hour (and are generally caused by eating but sometimes I have no idea of the cause) when the spike has lowered I'll flat line in the 9's/10's for hours , even if I take correction shots

Hi, I'm currently on prednisolone 20mg after surgery and I'm struggling to get my bg down. I have increased my levimir from 6units to 9units, and my novorapid carb ratio from 1unit per 5carbs to 1unit to 3carbs. From around lunch to midnight I'm high (spikes of upto 14mmol , but mostly in...

ya i think Basel is essential (at least for most people) but when im just taking bolus my blood sugar are staying in range (have checked with freestyle libre and finger pricking), so i dont think im in risk of DKA as long as my blood in in range ?

I have been slowly reducing my basal (toujeo) for months now as i keep going low during the night, and had gotten it down to 4units from 12units. during this time my insulin carbs ratio for bolus has stayed the same . I forgot to take my basal on sunday, and noticed no different to my bloods on...

I think very interesting pionts are being explored here, and it seems to me that every t1 is different. for me (7 months diabetic with a bunch of other medical conditions) snacks not really a issue. most days I don't want a snack (that i need to take insluin for) and I mostly stick to 3 meals...

im new to being a type 1 so not sure if i can be of much help, but could the hypo been because you had two lots of insulin so two different insulin peak times kicking in ? also was the the buffet high fat ? if so you might have gone low at 2 hours but gone high later ? hopefully someone who...

Thanks everyone :)

Hello all, still trying to get my blood sugars under control (been dietetic for about 6 months now), i was recently in hospital for another medical issue and while there met some of the diabetic team (my own diabetic nurses are in a different hospital) i had been previously testing my blood...

This happens to me with my teojeo which i inject into my thigh, never had a bleeding after my novoraipid in my stomach. I have found leaving the needle in my leg for like 20/30 seconds and then very slowly removing it, stop it from bleeding.

I work in a school, haven't told staff or management in the school yet but have been approved medically fit to work. I keep my insulin and needles locked in my car (which is about a minute away from me) and keep my monitor and glucose tabs with me in my handbag.

anybody know of a code that works ?

awesome ! the cost of the starter kit was to much for me, but will be able to afford a sensor :)

I would like to it out and have a NFC phone (samsung s7) dose that mean i can just buy a sensor and not the reader/starter kit ?

thanks everyone for the replies :) I haven't done a DAFNE course , but would love too , i really wish i could eat "normally" as i find with limiting myself to a max of 10 units or 25 carbs make my chose of food limited at home and impossible for me to eat out if away from home (my car always...

so if i wanted pasta for dinner (as like a treat) it would be ok to take a large dose of insulin for it ? i think pasta is like around 60 carbs so that would be 24 units of insulin. i guess what im worried about is if i take more insulin then my body might get used to the higher amounts and that...
