Hi Daisy :) Thanks for the info! and thanks for the welcome :)

have you tried eating more? It sounds as if you're having too much insulin, rather than eating the wrong thing. Or spread out eating your breakfast into two sittings. Cereal first, then toast an hour later. Peanut Butter is quite a slow acting carb (surprisingly) so try that on brown toast :)...

Good luck, I hope you find a solution, and start feeling fantastic again :) Have a great Christmas! :wave:

With great difficulty, in my experience. Tried to get one for 20 years in the UK. Came to France in 2005, and got my pump this year. According to my specialist, who has close ties to the US, UK and Germany (he has produced many papers which have been published internationally, and worked with...

Not sure if this would work, but how about trying a 24 hour fast, to get your insulin back to a good level? Just take your lantus, and eat beef and lettuce (boring, but hunger-quenching) during the day. Monitor your levels. It would also indicate if your Lantus is working correctly. Then once...

Hey there :) I'm currently living and working in Paris, and have been for the past 7 years or so. I still don't really speak the language (since I don't have to use it in my work or daily life) but know enough to get by. I have had T1 for 27 years or so (since I was 12), and have been trying...

I had a look, but wasn't able to find an answer to my question on the forums. I have had my pump for about 2 weeks now, and everything is going great. This morning, however, I drew up my insulin to fill the reservoir, to find I didn't have enough. Bit of a pain, since I hadn't realised, so...
