Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum I would LOVE to have a pump and CGM....would make my life soooo much better. How? Last 90 days - 860 bg tests, 540 injections. Why so many I hear you cry - well last two A1c, 9.2 to 5 in three months and I want to keep it there...

Found this group on Facebook : very helpful, some good knowledge there about exercise and T1D, lots of MDI and pump users http://www.facebook.com/groups/SportyT1/

Dear All, As a newly diagnosed T1D this thread is a real eye opener. I guess a degree of humility and great thanks to the gods of good fortune that I'm already 44 and so am taking my diagnosis very, very seriously and not thinking I'll only have to worry about it when I get older - I'm already...

Hi, me again. Why is it that some days everything just sings along in perfect harmony and then the very next day your BG is all over the place? I tweet my results @T1HbA1c

Hi, I'm on the same as you, levemir 10u bedtime, 10u morning and Nova for carbs...I like my BG to be between 4.9 and 5.5 at bedtime and will even take a 0.5u or more correction dose of nova if needed. bucco

Why isn't every T1D on metformin?

Hi all, Diagnosed on 26th Jan T1D Fasting BG 16, A1c 9.2 83.5kg 174cm and was fairly fit - ran an 8min mile, swam, cycled etc....or did up until about last October which was when things started to go wrong..... Read what you all had to say here, read Bernstien, read Scheiner, read everything I...

In the book "Think Like a Pancreas" by Gary Scheiner on page 168 he has a table that describes the typical action profile of rapid-acting insulin (Nova-Rapid). It goes like this: From time bolus taken: 30 min - 10% used 90% Insulin On Board (IOB) 60 min - 30% used 70% IOB 90 min - 50% used...

Dear all, Do you know your c-peptide levels, and if so - what are they? I read in Bernstein's book that of all the T1s he has ever treated there are only two who had zero c-peptide, and he is one of them! b.

Read the book "Diabetic Athlete's Handbook" by Sheri R. Colberg ISBN 13: 978 0 7360 7493 3 Will tell you all you need to know,

I absolutely agree with Dillinger. I was diagnosed T1 on the 26th Jan 2012' and took my first injulin injection on the same day. I had a fasting BG of 16.8 and ketones of 3.5. My diet up to this point had been 'loads of carbs'! My A1c today is 33 (5 in old money). I have cut out 99% of all...

A1c in new money - 33, in old money that's a 5 ! Three months ago was a 9.2.

Call me old fashioned - but really ladies - whats the difference between pushing it in and forcing it through? A gentle dribble v a high spurt? As always I welcome your views....
