Good to hear that, thanks for letting us know your ketones are back to a more reasonable level.

Over 3mml/L would be regarded as being at risk of DKA. Though high blood sugars are the most obvious sign of DKA, if you didn't taken enough insulin, maybe because you were feeling sick, yesterday, that would be the reason you have such high ketones. I assume you've taken insulin now? Are you...

Sadly, the current model for universities involves getting as much money out of students as they can. Good luck with getting them to agree to what they previously agreed.

Looks like they are still trying to get money out of you.

Hello @colpaxclarke I hope you get some help with this soon, but I wonder if this fear might be related to a bigger issue around feeling as if you didn't matter in some way, at some point in your life. Hopefully once you get some help you can explore this. There our ways to create an impact...

I would agree with this. We obviously all have the greatest of respect for moderators and the work they do, and recognise how difficult a job they have. However we T1Ds are only a small part of the forum, and this thread has allowed us to find a space that feels like ours, so obviously we are...

I think doing things in Knikki's honour is an excellent idea. I'm going to make my lunch in his honour, we must remember him. :angelic::angelic::angelic::angelic::angelic:

Naughty? I won't ask, just in case somewhere in the somewhat extensive forum rules is a clause that bans someone for explaining why they got a ban, or even a ban for asking someone to explain why they got a ban.

That's a shame.

What happened to Knikki, did he get in to trouble, or something?

Sorry to hear you're not feeling very optimistic today. Try to keep things in perspective, I bet you only put the photos of yourself on facebook a year ago in which you looked really thin, and the difference isn't anything like as much, in reality, as it looks from here. Try not to get too...

Morning all, not much going on. Seem to have a slight cold, or something, which might be pushing blood sugar up a bit, but not loads, totally survivable though, so barely worth mentioning. I've decided to paint the kitchen pink, just can't decide how pink. Hope you all have a good day.

Sorry to hear about your experience @smc4761 how about chaining pens to the desk, that's a nice uncomplicated solution. :)

Scone, scone, I don't know anymore, it's been so long since I ate one.

This is such an "it depends" thing. I think the most common ratio of insulin to carbs tends to be 1:10 so they've assumed that for you, and probably suggested less just to be careful, to avoid a hypo. So yes 7 units for 80 grams of carbs is about right. But you'll just have to try it and see...
