How are you getting on with the Tresiba @Levy ?

@scotteric How long did it take for you to get on a settled regime with the pump? I have been offered the pump, but am a little weary that it might take a long time to get on stable dosage. I'm in the final stages of writing up my PhD, which makes the thought of having an extended period of...

HBA1c 7.4, up from 6.2 this time last year :(

I had no idea that nuts can cause a spike in blood sugar! Is that because of protein, or just carb? I had always thought plain white yogurt was a good low-carb option, but do I need to account for protein here also? I'm new to thinking about protein - the DAFNE program only taught carb counting...

Heya, yeah I'm doing that this weekend - having a few carb-free breakfasts to see if the morning Levemir is set at the right dose.

This is really helpful, thank you, makes loads of sense of that post-breakfast spike. I've only really recently realised that Levemir doesn't start working immediately! It's amazing what understanding the processes can do - instead of looking at that spike feeling really frustrated I now know a...
