Tresiba is very forgiving with timing. I take mine last thing before I turn off the light, whether that is 10 pm or 6 am and I can switch back and forth without noticing a difference. If you're used to taking your basal in the morning but you are fine taking it at some point in the evening...

I'm a baaaaad diabetic. Never used maths for insulin dosing.

Of course! I forgot about the NPH insulins, which can be used as a basal as well!

Semglee is a biosimilar of Lantus. With Levemir being discontinued, the only choice left is insulin glargine (Lantus, Toujeo, and the various biosimilars of Lantus), or Tresiba.

Like others said, tell us what you are running into, and there's likely someone around who can give you a sense of direction, either on how to revise or on the subject itself! I'm trying to finally learn maths at 49 years old, and I found that the best help comes from people who know their...

Neat whiskey has no carbs, and the alcohol even has a glucose lowering effect for as long as your liver is processing the alcohol. Perfect choice from a diabetic point of view!

You only need to dress the upper half, unless you plan to walk away with your camera on. ;) Now this is odd, we have 'leverkaas' in the Netherlands, a direct translations of 'Leberkäse' or liver cheese. But the Dutch leverkaas is indeed made from liver, similar to liverwurst but finely grinded...

As far as I know, this is a blanket disclaimer because some diabetics have sensory loss because of nerve damage. This is a serious risk with anything heat involved, imagine drawing a bath and only noticing it's blistering hot after you get in up to your knees. Damage will have been done to your...

And another one who is very relieved to see your name in the 'members online' list, @Annb !

Thanks all for all the sound advice on both mushroom soup and dating! @Annb , your story was so touching and made perfect sense, and your mushroom soup tips, they'll be taken into account tomorrow! You made me spit out my drink, I may be somewhat unconventional in many aspects of life but I'm...

Adding bacon/rashers sounds very good, will do! @Annb I think I remember that mushroom soup is one of your staples, any tips and tricks?

Hi all, still reading or at least scanning, not writing a lot on the forum as busy with other stuff. I've worked a lot lately (7 days last week to save my colleagues from having to bike back and forth between bridges), and I'm still learning maths. Which very is slow going but also a lot of fun...

What are flu notifications? I get an invitation for a flu shot from my GP once a year, just one email per year and I can choose to go for the jab or not. I like the reminder.

That last part, cling on to that! You do have the tech and the experience, and although it may take a bit of time to find out what works, and it's fine if it's not perfect from day one. You may well find you'll like it much better too!

If you usually take 6 units of Tresiba and you already took 2 units, taking 4 units makes perfect sense to bring the total to 6! Tresiba is a wonderful insulin in that it's very forgiving to timing. I take it before bed, no matter if it's 10:30 pm or 6 am after a party, and I can freely swich...
