    Needing more and more insulin - reacting constantly

    Basal and bolus testing is something I’ve heard of but never really tried, something to look into! In terms of insulin amounts, I’ve never thought to think of it like that and it’s brought me a lot of comfort so thank you!

    Type 1 - couch to 5k

    Hi all, I finally did my first session last night and it went really well! I went out at about 8.5 and was back at around 5 once I got home ready for some food. I reduced my basal dose and its quite shocking how much of an impact a little run can have on dose requirements. I didn't go low in...
