Hi and thank you I was diagnosed in 2016. Well, other than decent blood sugars haha I enjoy being outdoors, going for walks, I am lucky enough to live in New Zealand which has beautiful beaches and is great for hiking, and also amazing wine which (in moderation!) really help keep my levels fairly decent!Hi @Marieba, and welcome. Yes, it’s a great place for info, and support, and often a bit of non-T1 stuff too. How long have you had T1 living with you? What kind of things make you happy, apart from decent blood sugars?

Hi and thanks I am originally from London, but have been living in New Zealand for about 8 years now, and was diagnosed with type 1 in 2016 at aged 32, and am on MDI (lantus and novorapid)
yeah but my dutch friend said you guys would say it's half two at 13:30 is that not true

how can a monitor count carbs nneeded you would need to know whats in what you are eating dont think i could trust that at first would take a lot of getting used to but could also be really really good thank you@Chris85 apologies if someone says this in the following 76 posts which I haven’t time to read, but on my DAFNE course they handed out special blood testing monitors that calculated carbs needed. Those that struggled loved them.
seems like all my doses are wrong per meal i would take around 12/15 units of novorapid and at night 20 units of levemir well last night i took 34 units of novorapid and 24 of levemir my bg before bed was 5.7mmo/l when i woke up 9.6mmo/l i didn't wake up to check during the night but i was positive i was going to hypoMorning all, judging by all the posts late last night many of you aren't going to be up and about for a bit!
@chris85 type 1 maths isn't a barrier any more, do the dafne course get your meter set up with your correct bolus calculations and correction factor and you'll see an improvement - you can then fine tune things then. You say you care for your mum so you are worth it - doubly so.
