From what you say it appears to be the bolus you take for your meal. Looks like you either take the shot and you immediately start to eat or it's just wrongly bolused. In fact, if you have too many carbs with a high glycemic index it's very hard to counter the spike and also you will end up...

Being on the honeymoon is just helping your treatment. In my case, I needed little to none insulin for some of the meals. Don't stress too much with details, focus on the great picture which is great blood sugars. If you get that you are good, how you get there and how much insulin you need is...

Splitting large dosages help a lot with the insulin absorption and should give better control of your BS. This is something I actually realized. You are free to do whatever works better for you but the ultimate goal is to have as good control as possible, I don't mind taking another injection I...

We all get sometimes higher blood sugars for various reasons. If it is getting consistently than you need to think it might be basal insulin. I have a few videos on my channel about this. One of them is about how to adjust your basal inulin. I hope this is helping you. If not I am sorry for the...

Hello To avoid lumps you also need to consider the length of the needle and to split the dose in the case it is larger than 10 units. I have made a video about it. You can find many other useful videos on my channel.

Hello When I was diagnosed it took about 1-2 weeks for the BS to get down to normal but I was progressively changing my dosages every day and every meal until I got it right. All I did was under my doctor's supervision which learned me everything, we were talking over the phone every time it was...

I am diabetic for 10 years and I never dared to eat full ice cream as it will spike me up to the roof. I taste a little bit from my wife or daughter but never had one all by myself. I don't see any way for a type 1 to actually manage to properly cover a full ice cream without a massive spike...

Hi Guys My last one was 33. I am ranging from 37 -33 in the last 2 years. I am trying to go below 30 in a safely manner. I am doing low carbs and I am very active.

Hello Guys This is how it looks a cheat day for me. I hope you can find this video useful.

Hello I do very well with dry wines, either white or red. Gin with Tonic zero carbs and Whiskey are also great. The real trouble is when I want to have beers. I usually do much better with ale and dark beers than lager. Here is a video I made about what I need to do when I have some beers.

When I used to go really high on protein I remember I used to bouls for the carbs as usual and then 3 hours later I was doing 2-4 units of Novo Rapid to cover the protein.

Did you change the insulin, maybe is off. It sounds like is not doing much for you. Here are a few variables in place which you need to figure. 1. Basal insulin - if you don't eat at all in the evening, how is your BS overnight? Did you make this test? This is a way to tune your basal. 2...

Hello If you are newly diagnosed you have to learn what works for you and how your body responds to insulin and foods. Very important to know how to treat your lows to avoid later spikes. I have made a video on how I treat my lows. You can also find various other videos on different topics that...

Hello Here I made a video with how I did it when I forgot to take my basal insulin - Levemir. Have a look maybe you will find it useful. On the channel, you can find other videos that you might be interested in. Good luck!

Ketones alone are not harmful. We all make ketones if we don't feed for a longer period of time, it's our body normal reaction. Ketoacidosis is the danger but that is something which is happening only when you have high BS for a longer period of time. Obviously it is not the case for you. I am...
