I’m the same, if I take 6 units I hypo through the day, I take 5.5 and I’m steady away day and night. It’s worth trying and don’t forget, tresiba takes roughly around 4-5 days after changing the dose to see how it’s working, I usually give myself 10 days to see if it’s working for me or not...

I don’t know if I have an eating disorder, I just can think of nothing worse than getting a meal and it be anymore than 5 units of insulin. if I go out for food I order things that will be 5 units and under, I’m on 1 unit nova rapid to 10g carbs. I would never not take my insulin, definitely...

Haha! Don’t think eating will be a problem for me, I’m a bit OCD, I love breakfast and would rather have a big one of those and can take or leave eating rest of day, doesn’t matter how tempting something is I can never be bothered to take insulin so would rather miss the good stuff just so I...

Thank you everyone for the replies, really helpful info and yes I’m really excited, I’m more nervous about the time change, think they are 4 hours behind and I take tresiba every morning. Do I need to not take it the morning we fly and take it when I get there to stay in their time zone? I will...

I feel you so much when I read this.. I had the same problem and I’m sure it’s more common than we think, my first suggestion is have you done the Dafne course, if not I would highly recommend doing it. It’s a big eye opener and helped me a lot. I suffer with eating the same things everyday and...

Hi guys, I’m just wondering if anyone has been on a cruise, I’m going to the Caribbean for a 2 week cruise after I get married, I don’t want my lovely diabetes to stop me doing the things I want to do, so wondered if anyone has been on one, any hints and tips for me is appreciated.

Low carb and metformin, I stopped low carbing and bloods started to go high, so the doctor put me on jardiance, I low carbed again (stupid when I’m on jardiance) my blood sugars were always around 6s day and night, then I felt unwell, the most unwell I’ve ever felt, my bloods were still in 6s so...

It was only because I went into dka with normal blood sugars, that’s only why they tested me.

I do use the half unit pens yes, thank you for the responses. Let’s hope I can get in charge as well as in charge as I can be :)

It was the diabetic nurse that told me, I start going high when my foot touches the floor in a morning, I don’t correct because I walk for an hour which brings my levels down, I only take my tresiba when I wake up. I go on the Dafne course next week, not sure if the nurses adjust our insulin...

1 unit for 10g of carbs yes

When I read this I’m unsure what to think, I understand I was in dka in 2022, I’ve always managed my diabetes ( was diagnosed as type 2 in 2018) quite well until I slipped off the low carb and was put on jardiance, then came the dka, my own fault for low carbing at same time. Was they quick to...

I eat yogurt everyday, it’s my main source of food these day thank you for the reply ❤️ I bought it over the counter instead of going to the doctor, but wanted to check here before I use it. I used it years ago before diagnosis so just wanted to check x

I was diagnosed as type 2 in 2018, I latched onto it and got my life in order, lost weight and became obsessed with having good management. Then in April 2022 I was taken to hospital with good blood sugars but massively unwell. DKA had got me, turns out I’m type 1.5 and I’m still producing a...

After my antibiotics that I finished today I now have a mild thrush, I just want to know if it’s safe to use Canesten cream as a type 1. Thanks

The nurse has contacted me and had a good chat, Dafne course booked for December so I’m so glad to be going on that so I can get as much information as possible ❤️

Thank you so much

Hi guys, as of writing this my bloods are 21.4 and my ketones are 0.4. I’ve got a chest infection and I’m not on steroids just amoxicillin, I’m starting to panic and get scared because I don’t know what to do or how much insulin to take when I’m poorly. I want to cry so bad right now. Any...

August 2022 think I’m going to ask on my next appointment, no harm in asking I suppose

Has anyone been wrongly diagnosed? Just wondering if I can request another blood test, I’m not in denial by any means but I do remember querying my c peptide because it was more in range of type 2 than 1. Can’t remember what it was will have a search.
