    Managing exercise and insulin

    I will kill you in instalments- that is exactly how I feel. My dsn also calls me brittle. And a puzzle she is trying to solve. T1 for 15 years, last 6 months have been terrible. No advise on exercise seems to work, reduce by 50 %, doesn’t work, trying 20% at moment, not looking good either. Walk...

    Lantus still the go-to basal?!

    I was on levimir, it’s being discontinued [emoji37] so was swapped to tresiba have had terrible issues with high bs, turned out its stacking because it lasts so long and I don’t need many units, so have been changed today, after a slight prescription error, to humalog i, which I think also may...

    Type 1 Humalog? From tresiba

    Thanks for that just confirmed my suspicions and dsn was hugely apologetic she had clicked on a half unit pen and it was the wrong insulin luckily she was in work today or by next week god knows where I’d be. Thanks [emoji5]

    Type 1 Humalog? From tresiba

    Can anyone give info on humalog. I was changed to tresiba, from levimir due to being discontinued, had trouble with that as continued stacking, whatever I tried. Have now been changed to humalog as a long acting, but looking this up humalog seems to be a fast acting insulin am confused as my dsn...

    Re sensor - when I first had libre I would cover whilst swimming- now I don’t bother- usually only swim on holiday in the sea am in and out all day and never had a sensor come off. Always take clear patches that I get from chemist, just in case the glue starts to fail, but hardly ever need to...

    Type 1 Tresiba help please anyone

    Just a quick update, my bs has now improved and it has taken [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] days to reduce, so longer even out in my system, so a bit more than the recognised period, so now some fine tweaking as I’ve had a couple of hypos, but already a huge improvement...

    Same low carb breakfast, BG now 22.1

    We are all so different if I injected 30 mins before food I’d be hypo I have to adjust depending on my bs maybe 10 mins before if I’m higher that 6, but if I’m 5ish I need to inject half way through eating. Everyday is an experiment [emoji4]

    explaining what it's really like to live with Type 1

    I think living with T1 is like being an experiment just when u think things are working something happens to negate all your theories and notes then back to the beginning something that worked well 2 months ago is not working now. Each day is a challenge. Mostly I eat very well, but some days...

    What can I drink?

    In America at the mo and struggling to find anything to drink but a very nice restaurant made me Soda ice mint cucumber lemon juice and slices of lemon, it was really nice and looked like a cocktail but guilt free

    The amount of Brazil nuts you can have before it becomes toxic

    So much we cannot eat. Brazils are a good snack choice with a piece of cheese, dont effect my bs levels better than going for cake, I eat them every day. Another choice, but that’s life people [emoji4]
