Hi @knowlestr - I was in a similar boat to you. Diagnosed with type 2 and HBa1C of about 93. Was experiencing usual symptoms and when first went to dr she said its onset type 1 diabetes.....off to hospital I went where they told me type 2. After my first consultant appointment he decided to do...

Yes @Juicyj that has been my focus.....interestingly took two units at lunchtime(for about 50 grams of carbs.....would normally be about 5 units) and about an hour after lunch was around 6(and going down)on the libre which meant I was about 4.8 in real money. So drank a small carton of apple...

Hi @therower @JaneC @Draco16 @Juicyj and @Jollymon Day 1 completed......what could be described as an up and down day! Lovely sunny day with great snow.....enjoyed myself for breakfast and chips for lunch :0)

Thanks @JaneC. Yes the majority of the people who I'll be boarding with know I'm type 1. Looking forward to a few vin chauds and hot chocolate. :0) Trying to convince my wife to let me start packing but she's refusing until later in the week......too excited!

Thanks everyone for your great advice. Got my bags packed with Nature Valley bars and jelly babies! :0)

Thanks @Juicyj I'm currently on 8u of tresiba a day. Normally take it about 930pm. Generally eat lowish carb so on about 1u of Novorapid per 10g. Also, use a libre, which should help with giving me idea of what happens on the first day. Looking forward to eating some bread :0)

Thanks @Draco16 for such a comprehensive reply.....makes me excited reading about off piste! :0) Remember the beginner days with not fond memories........never ached so much in my life!

Thanks @therower much appreciated

Hi everyone. Heading off to the slopes for the first time since starting insulin and was looking for some advice. I've read a number of posts from various forums but some of the points are not 100% clear.....hopefully some people will be able to let me know their experiences. 1) Does boarding...

Thanks @Scott-C. Will take a look at the software this evening. Currently using a combination of my phone and reader to do the scanning......shame they are not aligned. I did see Sugar Surfing referenced on a couple of websites bit wasn't sure what it was so will check it out.

Thanks @DunePlodder. Yes I did a finger prick. Was pretty much same as libre so knew I was going to go too low. Will we how it goes over the next few days and split the dose if necessary.

Thanks @Draco16.......Yes 15 mins may have been a bit brave. Needed a digestive and two munchies as felt like going to low. Also went for a 20 min walk after dinner.....which I'm sure helped in some respects but not others :0)

Thanks @porl69 .....not sure if that means it's a good line or bad line....lol

Thanks @porl69 @novorapidboi26 and @Draco16 - much appreciated. Tried bolusing 15mins before food last night.....think it worked but took too much insulin. Taking my Tresiba at about 9 each night.

Hi - Yesterday I started using a libre and would like to gauge people's opinions on the results so far. Attached is the last 24 hrs where a number of ups and downs occurred. - Went to bed about 8 and overnight my levels came down to approx 6 when I woke. Does this mean my basal seems correct...
