I was initially put on mixed insulin and kept being told to increase it, ended up collapsing in the supermarket and spent three days in hospital. Long acting and short acting insulin in the mixed insulin cannot be adjusted to take account of what you eat without adjusting the long acting as...

Anybody help me and explain what’s going on with my BG. For lunch I had a banana sandwich (two large wholemeal slices of homemade bread with a large banana, followed by an apple and a satsuma. Took 7 units of Trurapi at 13.15. BG went up to 11.8 at 14.30. Went for a walk at 15.15 with BG at...

Sorry for the above I have no idea how I’ve done that.

When I get up, normally about [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]]am my bg could be [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]].[emoji638], by the time I’ve been to the toilet and gone downstairs it’s showing...

I have recently been given a libre 2+ and find it very useful, although not particularly accurate, this morning before breakfast it showed 9.5, checked on my meter it was 7.5. It is very useful for showing you what your blood levels are doing, and how some foods affect your blood glucose more...

I have a theory, I think it’s the insulin resistance that’s causing the problems, I still produce insulin so when my blood sugar is high i already have insulin in my system, I then put a load more into my system based on the 1 unit for 10 carbs formula, I think this is based on type 1s who have...

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has a theory as to what’s going on. Prior to lunch blood was 6.2, was going to have two bagels total 85g carbs and an apple so gave myself 7 units of Trurapi which is under the recommended units. An hour late libre alarm sounds blood down to 3.8, then 3.1, jelly...

Hi all, at my last annual check up the DNS offered me a libre 2 sensor and I have to say it’s been a game changer, I didn’t realise I was having hypos at night and hypers after meals. It’s given me the confidence to go on fast acting insulin as well as the long acting I was on. being able to...

Hi everybody, just started on freestyle 2+, fist sensor worked fine, put an new sensor on Saturday and it’s frequently saying sensor error on not in range, spoke to abbot today and they are sending a new sensor and a reader. What did astound me was when asking what phone I was using (IPhone 12)...

Hi everyone, had my Covid vaccine the other day, It was 5.4 before breakfast, jab at 08.40. Normal reading before evening meal would be around 6, it was 10.1. Again next morning was high for me and Evening, stayed like this for several days before coming down to normal. Anyone else found this?

Hi everybody, just seen an article in the news section which finished with the editor stating type 2 diabetes can be put into remission and all drugs stopped if you change your lifestyle. I am not overweight, eat well and am fit, even if I eat nothing my liver will put my BG into double figures...
