I had also put some weight on after diagnosis, which is normal I think, but don't worry things will settle after a while. It took me one year and a half year to get back to my normal weight again by eating healthy and walking. Don't be encouraged that you don't see results immediately. Your body...

I have heard that Absaglar is a biosimilar version of Lantus. Can anyone explain what biosimilar means ?

Eating whenever I feel hungry and not having to plan my meals in advance.

I thought that Halle Berry was a T2. I read an article where she said that she maintained control of her blood sugars by diet alone.

I also think that during the honeymoon it is easier to keep your blood sugars within range. Though I need to calculate my meals, match them with the exercise I do and take into account for other factors, my bloodsugars behave predictable most of the time. Once you get out of the honeymoon you...

Even though I am still in the honeymoon my 24 hours dose changes from time to time.

As a non-Brit I want to say I hope that you will remain in the EU. Britain counterbalances the power of Germany and France in the EU.

I am doubting to visit a GP because I have a small skin rash on my body which looks like it could be shingles. My bloodsugars are fine and the information I found on shingles is that if it is located on a small part of the body, treatment is not necessary for healthy persons. My question is, can...

I don't celebrate it, as I don't see the point of celebrating something which affects me negatively.

You can also buy products with natural sweeteners in it. Some barely contain any sugars, but you have to be carefull as others do like the green coco cola drink for example. From what I have heard they are ''better'' than ártificial sweeteners, but as with everything, moderation is the best you...

It sounds awesome, but given the fact that stem cells treatments is still in the research phase in other countries and people participating in the trails have to take anti-rejection drugs I am a bit skeptical about it. Espcially since the website also says that it focuses on anti-age treatments.

I can relate to your feelings. I am now in a studentclub with some really nice people, but it feels a bit odd talking about people you barely know about diabetes. It just that you don't want to be the odd person or want to be judged. On the other hand, people don't mind that much in reality...

Thanks for the website. I only know about basal testing prèbreakfast, but my learning of diabetes was a bit messy anyway, as I was diagnosed during my internship abroad.

@ mahola @jevans82 I only know that my ratio for the afternoon and morning is 1:50. Dinner is always a wild guess how much my ration/carb is. I did take a count carbing course a couple of months a ago though, but the dietician was not very helpfull. She doubted that I was T1 because 'I had been...

I am on two injections. One Lantus (in the evening) and the other is the short acting Apridra Solostar for dinner. I don't inject short acting insulin in the morning and afternoon as the ratio is then 1:50. I don't know if it is possible to split the dose, since I am on a very low dose (I only...
