Hey everyone. I've recently moved to North London and cannot find any groups for young diabetics (18-40ish). I've been inspired by Shelley's Circle D and a new group in Bexleyheath to try and have a go at starting a group myself. Before I get ahead of myself though I'm wanting to get together a...

My ratio varies a lot through the day, especially when I'm at work. I need approximately double the amount of insulin for lunch when I'm at work when compared to a weekend lunch time!

Good to hear it I got some results today too and managed a 5.6! I'm really chuffed with that and I dont care if its helped by honeymooning :D

Re: job interview I can only comment from limited experience as ive only had type 1 for about 8 months, but I've really found that no one in my work place really cares about it. I eat my lunch at my desk usually and test regularly so its not something I could ever really hide I suppose! If you...

Depends how high! The rule I was told was that 1 unit of novorapid will lower your BG by 2.5 mols over 2 hours. It seems to work quite well for me but you know what they say, everyone is different

Oooh its good to hear from other young-uns. I've just turned 24, been diagnosed about 5 months now. You'll find the forum pretty handy for getting info

Cheers for the replies guys, its very difficult to give you all the relevant information ina short post! I take my basal at 6pm but the problem remains if i eat my dinner late, latest i've probably eaten is at about 8pm and i still had the high results. I'm going to just try adjusting my ratio...

Firstly, hi guys. This is my first post but I've been lurking for since diagnosis (about 7 weeks ago). As well as saying hello I've got a little question for type 1s on basal/bolus regimes. I've only recently got my lantus down to the right level and I think as its been a little too high its...
