    New mummy and new type 1!

    Antidepressants and diabetes

    I have been in antidepressants for depression and anxiety for five years now, and they really do make a difference. I was only diagnosed t1 last month so I can't really comment on how they might affect your BG.

    How much of a 'spike' is okay?

    Success! Lunch time today I had the same sandwich. BG was 7.7; dosed my bolus (food and correction) 30 minutes before eating. 1 hour after lunch: 7.3 2 hours after lunch: 6.4 3h: 5.5 5h: 5.1 Cheers guys! [emoji38][emoji38]

    How much of a 'spike' is okay?

However, my sandwich was ryebread and has a relatively low GI, producing a...

    How much of a 'spike' is okay?

    So if my BG spiked after 2 hours, I guess I should be injecting after eating?

    Confusing reactions to insulin

    Confusing reactions to insulin

    So I tried nighttime basal testing last night. I was 6.5 when I went to bed (2300), 6.1 at 0245, 6.9 at 0430 the 6.6 on waking. So that's pretty steady!

    Confusing reactions to insulin

    No half unit pen. I've been recommended those by a few people on here. I have an appointment with my DSN next week so I'll ask then!
