I've read it three times now. Did I really write that? That's awesome.

Hi jonesy, The 50/50 dose at 12 hours apart rule is really only a rough guide when switching to a split dose. Both the morning/night ratio and the timing can be adjusted to suit whatever works best. I'm taking 12 units AM and 9 units PM, roughly 10 hours apart. Regards, Timo.

You might be better off saying 'twit' instead, Dolly. There is, of course, a difference between the moderation of bad language and spam, and the moderation of ideas and opinions.

Hi Matt1212, As the strengths of the various types of basal insulin available will vary, you can't really work to a percentage dictated by your daughters rapid doses. Basal and bolus doses need to be treated individually according to need. It could be that your daughter needs to split her...

Hi weaver, I'd like to add pecans and pine nuts to catherine's list. All of the above are chocked full of goodness. Enjoy.

Re: White flour contains diabetes-causing contaminant alloxa Exactly right, Ian. Whoever said 'The whiter the bread, the sooner you'll be dead' was obviously unfamiliar with the latest technical advances in ring doughnuttery. :mrgreen:

Let's not strain the gnat about thread titles, chaps - the Daily Mail remains a great way to correct low blood pressure. :D Doesn't seem to put me off reading it though. :?

Hi Dippy, The "eat plenty starch" advice is designed to keep the population down now that we don't have world wars any more.

Hi coreservers, I knew there was an OP in here somewhere. If you're spiking at 12 or 13 after an apple, then you might want to think about an alternative. You could perhaps have something like an avocado instead. It's possible that further weightloss will improve how your body handles things...

This video has been flashed around on the forum before. Skip to 0:36:30 for a fairly simple explanation of the great cholesterol cuss-up. dBnniua6-oM

Hi pkennedy19, The hormones released when you drink caffeine will tend to raise blood sugars, but the exact effect varies from person to person. Regards, timo.

Hi girlguide, As far as I'm aware, the normal blood sugar range for an infant is the same as that for a child or adult, so what you've described are abnormal levels. A trip to your GP can't do any harm. Things like stress, illness and certain medications can all cause high blood sugar, so it...

Hi, What you've described can sometimes be caused by poor circulation to the injection site. Because exercise improves both insulin sensitivity and circulation, it's possible to see bigger than normal variations in your insulin's action. One sign of poor circulation is the injection site being...

Welcome to the forum, pkennedy19. Which injection sites do you normally use and what kind of condition are they in?

Hi lmdude88, If you're using test strips that came packed with the meter, then these can sometimes be affected by damp/heat/cold during storage, or they might simply be beyond their use by date. Hope this helps, timo.

It's not very easy on the eye. It looks like someone's had an 'accident' on a napkin. :shock: Still, if it horrified some nutritionists, then it's all good. :twisted:

Hi BitOfARunner, If I were you, I'd be tempted to hone the basal/bolus regimen rather than go retro with the premix. I was on 30/70 mix for around ten years. I can look back and laugh now, but it wasn't very funny at the time. All the best, timo.

Proverbs 27:1 Do not make your boast about the next day, for you do not know what a day will give birth to. Here endeth the lesson, George. :D

And another one, George. :o http://www.newstatesman.com/healthcare-and-pharmaceuticals/2010/04/sanofi-aventis-curedm

I believe that it's customary on such occasions to run around shouting, "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we do that!" Very well done, Curleous.
