I confess I confess, just had half a bag of chips from the chippy and a small sausauge in batter :lol: I ABSOLUTELY loved it , and it is the first proper no no meal and treat I have had since starting on insulin! Back to being sensible tomorrow :D

When I did the FLM a few years ago I had a bottle of diarolite made up and found it kept me going, 2007 was a particularly hot year, I made it up with full sugar cordial and water

Hi all This week I lost a very dear friend of mine, complete shock and unexpected. Since her death and no matter what I do my BS have gone high, I take Nova mix 3 and have increased my morning dose to 14 units but am still 12.9 before lunch after breakfast of porridge made with soya milk, now...

Woa..............please don't increase by 20!!! you will hit the floor!!! With respect to your nurse, she sounds like a bad diabetic to me! (just take a little more so that you can have a biscuit indeed!) I have been recommended an increase of 1 unit if my preceding BS has been between 8 and...

Thanks Ken and Sue, off for dinner now :D

Hi guys and gals Currently in a hotel and going to go to dinner, don't want to take insulin pen downstairs with me, can I eat and then come back to room and take it? I am on novamix 30 any response greatfully received :)

And this is why I am beginning to love this forum :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would agree with the above, I was diagnosed years ago as a type 2 and took the attitude that because I exercised and did not overeat too much I was ok, I just didn't test at all, my rather lax attitude to testing is that I didn't know how ill I was becoming, that I was really type 1 and that I...

The choices certainly do appeal! I am aiming for 4 to 7 before meals and have been advised no more than 10 after but I really want to get that down to below an 8 I am seeing the Specialist next week and have decided to ask him all sorts such as going on a course to learn more about this illness...

What he said ~~~~

I test before meals and 2 hours after, I also test before bed and if I wake in the night, I am very lucky that my GP presribes 200 testing strips whenever I want!

What would you suggest with the milk?

I have been eating porridge made with semi-skimmed milk for a few weeks now, my BS always goes high from around 8 to maybe even 12 or 14 2 hrs after. Today, I swapped the semi-skimmed for soya, I was 7.8 before breakfast and a lovely 8.7 after!! I really feel that I am beginning to get...

This is all very new to me, and once again I apologise if I have done something wrong, I joined this forum for advice, I have obviously got it wrong, I was not wallowing, just expressing how I felt on one day

Thank you, I am usually rather sane! I feel very hurt that someone joining today decided within 6 minutes of that to berate me, still it does take all sorts, I have actually found this forum to be very useful and full of information that I did not know about :)
