Hi, just wondered how many T1's have seen a Consultant? I've been T1 for 10 yrs and never have....should I have? My local hospital is Frenchay, South Glos. :) :)

5.6 this morning which for me is good,normally between 6 to 8 Am on Insulatard 13 units at night & Novorapid 8/9 units in morning, 6 units at lunch and 12 before dinner . Could anybody advise how to get BG regulary between 5 and ?? Comments would be appreciated :) :)

Hi, I found that normal milk with Oatibix would mean I was in double figs BG for too long after breakfast. So I changed to unsweetened soya which now means that I am very rarely into double figs after breakfast. It also contains very little carbs and I find that the cereal masks the taste...

Good to know u appreciated the post Ebony!! All the best for you in the future too :thumbup: :wave:

anybody come across Banrock Light White Wine 5% abv...its rated as dry . Tastes more like medium dry to me and doesn't affect my BG's AND the great thing is half a bottle is only 2 units so I don't feel like i'm missing out and the Quacks happy too!! Woo Hooo :D Hasn't affected my BP either !

just thought I would let people know about some goood customer service for a change :D :o called the One Touch customer helpline 0800 279414 for some new batteries for the meter they sent me to try back in April 2011. It was a Verio Pro and i've been very happy with it...needs a lot less...

Hi, just wondered how long people's Insulatard lasted in use i.e. out of the fridge. I have found that after about a week the effectiveness of the Insulatard seems to reduce..so I change it normally every Saturday and almost without fail my BG's come back to where I would expect them to be. The...

Thanks for the response my BG's normally dip around 3pm or 4pm so I normally have a biscuit which is 12g of Carbs and 4g of sugar,which sees off the normally low BG at this time, I do test religiously about 8 times a day but thought ,for once,I'll give it a miss! I had my normal lunch which is...

Had a very pleasant afternoon wandering round the local garden centre, then a nice Americano with a splash of milk......thought I could chance half a plain scone (as my BS tends to dip about 3 or 4ish) but oh no ..tested at home ..11.9. There really is no rhyme nor reason to this lark sometimes...

8) Quality result Well done 8)

:lol: Oh well,Cuglia,it explains a lot ......especially my follicular impediment up top! :lol:

8) How about prunes...I bought some a while back with a quick seal bag. I don't buy them regularly though........ theres a joke there somewhere!! :) I have also found Nature Valley bars are good ,as you get two bars,and they don't go off or leak! 8)

I have always had a cereal breakfast but when diagnosed found that milk and cereal put my BG up way too much so the best alternative I have found is unsweetened soya milk-it has very little carbo or sugar in it and is low in cholesterol. The taste of the cereal masks the slightly...
