Going to have a look at more info on Tresiba. Thank you.

Your advice is invaluable. I’ll have a look at link, thanks. Find it difficult at times to have stable sugars while gardening. Sometimes get carried away and do more work than I had planned for, ending with a hypo. I tended to run sugars a bit high to avoid this. I’m not the most accurate when...

Sorry you had to go through DKA, it’s awful.

Ratios do change. Morning it could be 1:6. Tend to just drink tea during the day as I prefer to eat in the evening. Thanks for the libre link. I’ll look up more on Dexcom, as that’s the CGM I’m using. I unit Novo usually drops me 6mmol, depends on how active I’ve been. Been ages since I did the...

DKA very hard thing to go through. I have the jumping Jack sugars as well but only when I eat bread and the like. Luckily I love salads, even in the middle of winter. Only exercise I do is gardening. I think the best we can do is take detailed notes of our food intake, exercise and all the other...

You’re very good to give such a thoughtful reply. I find that I’m more resistant to insulin in the evening. Not much activity atm because the weather here is quite wet, so no gardening, I’m afraid. I do make notes on various meals, with carb content. So, after meals in the evening it goes like...

Thanks B for this v informative and considered reply. Hopefully new CGMS will have these new features available on this side of the pond. Definitely believe that as diabetes is becoming more common, CGMS are a more familiar device in everyday life. Perhaps Judge is wearing one.

Goodness gracious that’s incredible. I’ll read up a bit more on Tresiba. Thanks Z.

I’ll have a look at the link, thank you. Ratios have definitely changed. Still quite sensitive to insulin but evening ratio has changed. I’ll be going to the appt with diabetic team in January. I was to attend in November, but for some reason it was cancelled. That has never happened before. I...

Would it be better to take Tresiba in the morning to stabilise daytime glucose readings ? Night readings are holding steady, if somewhat low at times. Perhaps it’s just a case of eating fewer carbs to allow the Novorapid to stand a chance ? Any advice welcome.

I wonder if Dexcom, Libre and the like have put any thought into these situations for people with diabetes ? Not sure exactly what they could come up with, I’m sure it would warrant a discussion.

This is an interesting post. I’ve let the fire go out because I became caught up in the replies.

Well done !

I had prefect control while I was pregnant with my two daughters. I was terrified that high blood sugars would harm them. Both were born just over 6lbs, which is good for a type 1.

Thank you Ellie.
