    Illness and spikes

    Yes I've tried it in the past. I've recently started new insulins so haven't done the sick day rules as of yet. Want to see how new insulin affects me. Never had control over my diabetes in 10 years. Just trying hard but won't beat myself up anymore when it's high. Got used to it.

    Illness and spikes

    I've really struggled with my blood sugars since catching Covid. My sugars are constantly 15-22 mmols. I've done everything from constantly contacting the diabetes team. Changing my insulins. Reducing my carbs down and reducing my alcohol intake. More concerned about my long covid symptoms. Been...

    Breakfast

    Sometimes omelette or anti pasti mix. Sometimes nothing. That's normally early lunch at 11am. Don't do breakfast. Eat twice a day. Try and keep lunch light otherwise my sugars will rise too much.

    changing insulin

    I was already splitting lantus as it didn't work long enough. So for now I will carry on splitting the Levemir with the same dose and unit for unit on Lyumjev. Haven't noticed Lyumjev working any quicker as yet but it's only day 1. Hope these new insulins improve my already poorly controlled...

    So now I know weetabix are out!

    I used to love eating cereals, Weetabix and porridge. Far too carb heavy resulting in very high BG. I eat 1/2 a Weetabix to fix a hypo. About 6.5 grams of carbs there which breaks down quickly and gets me out of trouble.

    changing insulin

    Hello, just picked up my new insulin today. Starting on Lyumjev & Levemir. I've heard about Levemir and it sounds better than Lantus which I was previously on. Anybody on Lyumjev? Otherwise known as lispro. Stopped with novarapid. Glad it's unit for unit so I don't need to recalculate my ratio.

    Getting there

    I've suffered long covid all this year. Doctors thought it was diabetic neuropathy so prescribed gabapentin. That did nothing for me but made me feel rubbish. I then tried pregabalin which is better but stopped taking it as side effects were bad. Tried leg stimulation machine and magnesium. Sure...

    Type 1 How much long-acting insulin do you take?

    I take a total of 16 units of lantus and very small amounts of novarapid. I'm on very small amounts of insulin compared to most people.

    Libre 2 alarms

    Half the time mine only alarms when too high. It's normally quite late to tell me when too low. I no longer use the alarm function. Just test regular in the day instead.

    Covid Prevention Measures for diabetics

    I caught covid then had both vaccinations after it. Suffered with long covid all year not being able to work since April. I have made the most of no restrictions. Carry on as normal now. Don't think I have much too loose now.

    Best supermarket for low carb?

    I just buy the small loaf of wholemeal supermarket bread and restrict my intake of it.

    Duloxetine

    Guess it's too early to tell whether it's actually helping with pain. Been on plenty of antidepressants over the years and they all have nasty side effects. Least u get used to them eventually. Doctors don't want to give me painkillers from some reason. Either anti convulsants or anti...
