    Type 1 Levothyroxine

    Thank you AndBreathe I don’t think they checked my antibodies I’ll have to check back on my results I’ll mention that when I see my dsn on Monday, my bs is very inconsistent to say the least. I would not stop now, the endo consult said I must take the Levothyroxine. Thyroid uk web, says...

    Type 1 Levothyroxine

    Type 1 Levothyroxine

    Thank you We all do funny things looking back !! I did BERTIE on line, not dafne, but my dsn ran dafne when she was in charge of this area and said it was not worth me doing the course, as I’ve been carb counting for 15 years and I’m on the ball. I have been adjusting my own insulin from the...

    Type 1 Levothyroxine

    Can anyone , who has started on Levothyroxine tell me how much they had to increase their insulin by? As I’ve been having trouble with my bs levels for about a year, the dr put me on Levothyroxine last Christmas and it made my bs go up, they decided as I was borderline to stop the Levo. Now...

    Type 1 Very frustrated feeling down

    Thank you. I’ll ask when I go in 3 weeks. I’ve asked about a pump as I thought it would help but was told I need to do dafne first before the specialist would even see me. They sent me dates last year but we were away for every date and only sent me one date this year and ten mins later had a...

    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...
