Hi, I have been T1D for 6 years now and have been working in my current role for 2.5 years. My breakfast and lunch ratios have always been similar, regardless of the day but on days that I work [I work in a school], I need much big doses for my evening meal. I always eat a very similar dinner...

Thanks for all of this. The ONE+ has shown me consistently around 6.0 for 3 hours now and yet still when I finger test, I get 5.1. I appreciate that 0.9 isn't the biggest difference but its still quite a lot less accurate. I've calibrated it a couple of times back down to correct levels but...

I get that all measurements have a margin for error, but being consistently above is just purely frustrating. What do you mean calibrate? I 've seen that I can log events such as a BG reading but how does this help?

Hi all, I started using a Dexcom One+ earlier today and so far I have had wildly different readings. Before lunch, I had a Dexcom reading of 5.6 with a finger prick scores of 4.2 and just now I had a Dexcom reading of 8.4 with a finger prick score of 6.0. Although these differences were...

There is and it asks if I've had 0, 1 or more than 2 in the past year which is kind of what threw me off

Hey everyone, just a quick and probably stupid question. I am finally informing the DVLA [I haven't been driving beforehand dont worry lol] of my T1D and on the form it asks if I've had an episode of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) whilst awake. I have had a readings under 4 that needed some...

I'm on Tresiba and use it once a day. I usually do 14 and I'm currently on 15

Hey everyone. thanks for all the replies. little update here: On Thrusday and Friday I thought I was getting back to normal but then I had my vaccine and despite having no symptoms [other than shaking a bit for an hour 12hrs after it] I haven't felt unwell at all but my sugars have gone even...

Hey everyone, I've been T1D for just over a year and until now I think I've managed it well. Suddenly this week, I can't get "low". I've gone from always being in range to having 12+ mmol 4 hours after almost every meal, even when I take corrections for the previous high. I've even raised my...

I am also nervous though to do more as although it will be the right thing to do at the moment, if my levels went back to normal I'd be doing way more than I need

They normally are around there, but having this high reading is throwing off the rest of the day a little bit. I was diagnosed in early February and I've been off of uni since March and been having a pretty similar routine to now since then, so I can't see how a change would have affected it as...

Yep.

I'm a uni student who's currently on break between terms and have been for a few months. In all of these days, I haven't gone out of the house, showered, worked out or anything like that between when I've had breakfast and lunch.

I wake up and have my breakfast pretty much straight away, so I have 4-5 or so right before breakfast and as I wake up. I then am usually at 5-6 4 hours after breakfast, which is usually when I have lunch too. The 8-11 readings are at this time 4 hours after breakfast. In recent days I've...

I have porridge and toast (always same porridge and amount). Usually I'd use 4 units and starting at 4-5 is end up between 5-6. Now starting from 4-5 ending up at 8-11 using 5 units ☹️
