I’m a terrible example but I actually don’t, I check my levels before I go out but generally if I’m going shops I take nothing, if I go for a long dog walk or something maybe a bottle of lucozade, or if I’m on the drink I don’t take anything , make sure I have a bag of crisps or something every...

Must admit I just travelled to New York then Texas and when I got there and when I arrived home I didn’t allow for time difference, whenever the clock said [emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]am that’s when I injected and no really affect to my levels

I’ve found to be it a trial and error thing, I’ve had T1 four years now I think, diagnosed over Covid. Since then found my routine with good and drink as well as exercise (if you do this is one that caught me out originally) but I typically No breakfast Lunch is usually meat and veg and rice...

Definitely regret saying yes [emoji23] like weights because it doesn’t effect my levels going low, just a slight increase when I push it ! Plus…running isn’t fun end of!!

Yeah I only buy lucozade to control mine, sweets and things like that I find hard to stop at 4 and nail the whole pack so don’t buy them - no self control You’d have to educate me a bit more on the T2 argument there as always thought you get that due to lifestyle rather than medical so I have...

Well I didn’t know I could get the glucose gels on prescription [emoji23] so May look at that as with work I’ve been asked to do a half marathon which will be a tall order for me considering I can’t walk up hill on a treadmill for 15mins without dying [emoji23] Was thinking more for government...

Do you think diabetics should be charged sugar tax? I know without being T1 I definitely wouldn’t be buying as many sugar products as I do to control my lows while gyming and exercise

I had the same and now on Lantas I find my readings are higher when taking the same dose, used to be 22 units and coasting at 6ish on my bloods, now I take 28 units on lantas and I’m consistently at 11-12

Good and bad days will always be there but forums like this are great I find. A lot of people who don't have to deal with the constant calculations of carbs and insulin etc etc will not have the same understanding, but just keep going [emoji4] 1 bad day, 2 bad days...there is always a good day...

Sounds correct that you're body is judt adjusting to it all, when I was diagnosed and released from hospital, like you went in with a BS of 38, my sugars would constantly go up to high teens. My long lasting insulin I was taking in the morning, but found a switch to take it before bed helped...

I think you're doing fantastic [emoji122] I was ill over Xmas and my levels were great, just one of them things that most things can effect BG levels - I used to find it funny how over night I would have a dead straight line around 5-6...then the closer I got to work time my levels would shoot...

There is no perfect scenario unfortunately, you look like you're doing great [emoji119] When I started this journey like you I tried to get that straight like as I am a perfectionist and love a challenge [emoji23] but experience has taught me not to be controlled by T1...continue to live a...

I've been type one for just over a year now and jumped on the Libre 2 as soon as it was available to me. I don't find diabetes a struggle but the one thing I hated was the finger pricking! So find this makes everything alot easier I order patches from a company called Type Strong which help...

I've also been a tad confused as my 1st check up since diagnosis in March my HBA1C was 42 and had one last week which was 44. I keep getting told by multiple people (diabetics and nurses) that it must mean I'm having too many hypos but I definitely am not....I had a couple in November (one...

Hi all, Little advice needed please. Normal day food consists of very similar, low/no carb meals No breakfast Lunch- tuna/chicken salads Dinner- meat and veg Occasionally have to odd pizza if I'm having a lazy day but other than that I'm pretty strict with the diet. I gym 4/5 days a week...
