Hi G had mine out as a teenager and the pain was awful. Weirdly I was told to eat more solid food and not things like ice cream soup yogurt etc. Reason being that those things are liquid and spread into the wound more. So I ate cereal and more bread like things and did find it better. More carb...

I get this if I eat tomato based sauces and also if I have a curry and suspect it's the oil in curry. Last night I intended to split my bolus and so took less before eating but didn't get the rise in had expected possibly as I had very little else with it. But was prepared to add more insulin...

Hi Jonty I am wondering about my levimir dose too. Please ignore spelling my phone has very annoying text settings. Should I fast for 12 hours and test and not do night time injection? And also do you split your background and do morning and night. I .and always just done night but have been...

This happens to me too. I cycle to work and it takes about 40 minutes. I would describe it as moderately exerting but not strenuous and my blood sugar goes up. So my pre breakfast level is always higher than it would be if I didn't cycle. I eat my breakfast at work. I always test before I leave...

I am definitely going. Low carb. Have put a lot of weight on and only way I feel I will lose is reducing my carb intake and amount of insulin I inject. It's such a vicious cycle but determined not to let it beat me Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Re: Interesting article on low carb and insulin resistance.. Thanks for this. Even if it does cause more resistance I inject far less insulin when I low carb and that's the only way I can control my weight. Been struggling lately. Put on lots weight after changing insulin regime. Now trying to...

Well yes I did need some carbs but not the.end amount available. But anyway on a related topic the problem of getting full sugar drinks when ordering diet ones is quite bad. Seems to happen and lot to me especially when it is non branded drink as for some reason the diet ones have a very sweet...

Yes Whitbyjet most places are very helpful and that is always my experience. I guess I asked for something to replace the chips so that I would be full. The carb bit is usually the biggest part of a meal when eating out and the meal I wanted was probablyonot going to be very filling without the...

First time ever I have had such a problem and first time I have ever complained about a diabetes issue apart from odd occasion when have been given non diet drinks and have mentioned my diabetes then. But actually don't make big issue of it. I was angry on this occasion and mainly because the...

Sid bonkers as I said before I was not rude nor was I ranting. I asked to see superiors due to the rudeness I had received. Not sure what your diabetic means. What is my diabetic please? I just politely asked. No I don't feel need to educate everybody. As I said am interested in people who have...

As I have now pointed out several times the fact I injected first was not the issue I wanted to discuss. Secondly people keep talking about a la carte. It was a cafe menu with about 8 meals on it. All high carb.the cafe was not busy and the assistant was rude. I am not using my diabetes or...

Sid bonkers I can assure you I was not rude at all and asked very politely remained polite throughout. Not sure why an assumption was made from my post that I was rude. Not sure also why so many people shocked at my asking for alternatives. Surely we have all eaten out and asked for say mash...

I knew what was on the plate. Except I wanted them to remove the chips and replace with some protein or vegetable so this would not affect amount I injected. I knew how much to inject for the meal minus chips. Only became an issue when was told had to pay more to take chips off and replace with...

It was a supermarket cafe hence no a la carte and every meal was high carb. I use Novorapid insulin so fairly fast acting but like you say I know how to deal with hypo should it0arise. Would have been a concern if I had left the store due to rudeness and driven to another. But then again would...

And yes Sarah69 it could HAVE been avoided. The point I am making is that it matters not so much that I injected first. I know I could have and would have sorted any low sugar issue out. It was about being able to access the menu which was very rigid and didn't allow for dietary requirements at...
