Hi! I understand you wake early to take a dose of bolus to avoid dawn phenomenon? I have an issue with my blood sugar rising rapidly between 5 am and 8am. I split my basal dose of Levemir and take at 9pm and 9am. Tried increasing night time dose but to no effect.

Thinking of you!

It's called diabetic burn out but although it's a lot to deal with it's not all bad good days and bad keep your chin up don't let it grind you down you know your better than that best of luck from ray

Any type 1 diabetics tried bulletproof or paleo diet

Love your new avatar....so colourful and beautiful...

since when did you stop pumping? I thought you were getting on well with the Insight?

Hi Donnellysdogs

Have a big favour to ask....hope you can help me.

Know you're on Insight pump. I've been on it since early summer with absolutely no problems and then i checked blood sugar an hour ago and all of a sudden i keep getting m-27 warning saying that no communication with pump and remote says pump is unavailable. Really not sure what to do and hope you can help.

Thanks

Hey there @donnellysdogs,
I spotted in a thread that you said you had referral from your GP to a gym and personal trainer. That sounds brilliant! - do you know if that's something just local to you? Could you let me know more? It's so great to hear that you've had excellent support and it would be interesting to see if that could be made more widespread.

Hi, I like your caption, Don't let diabetes rule your life, I say to my friends and relatives only difference I have with you ( non diabetic) I produce less or no insulin in the body otherwise I can do anything and everything. Subsist

Thanks for the encouragment this evening Sharon I have been Reading up on the mobile app and pretty much found my problems they call it burn out I just thought it was stress. Good idea this forum. Cheers Nigel

I am fairly recently diagnosed diabetic, on 2g Metformin also 120mg Glyclazide per day. My blood/glucose is still 11.4. If I go on Insulin will this mean I am Type 1 diabetic?
