Thanks for this! Definitely helps to know there are others in the same situation. I agree that hypos have a a stronger negative effect on training than a hyper and I also do tend to allow it to run a little high if I am unsure during class then correct afterwards as well. I think hopefully with...

Thank you Mbaker! Definitely agree with you on fight or flight, it can make it very tricky to account for. I will check out the link to threads you've added and I hope your training goes well!!

Hi Everyone! I'm interested to know if anyone else on this forum practices a martial art and how they deal with the gradings (or if anyone has any ideas to help!) In Taekwondo, the gradings are basically around a 2-3hour session where you are called up in groups to be assessed in front of the...

Thank you for your reply, makes me feel I'm not weird for feeling this way. I think I will talk to my DSN about it Sent from my SM-J500FN using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

So I went to my gp today because they said they had a letter from my hospital which turned out to be that I wanted to have cartridges not pre filled pens so I could use a half unit one. Firstly they seemed kinda annoyed that I wanted cardtridges and thought I might get confused and didn't want...

Woo! I'm going to this. Only got diagnosed around 4 months so really want to actually meet other type 1s :) also I live in London so it's much less of a trek for me hahah Sent from my SM-J500FN using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thank you for the advice! It's interesting to hear from others who were diagnosed at a similar time before going to uni :) I've decided to live in a house with 4 others and one being my being friend and I've learned so much in these few months. Hope the rest of your uni experience goes well...

I've found you need more xylitol than stevia because stevia is so much sweeter although I couldn't say exactly how much more as I normally sort of estimate hahah. I would potentially double it or just add until you think it's sweet enough Good luck! Sent from my SM-J500FN using Diabetes.co.uk...

2units of levemir morning and night and occasionally 1-3 units of humalog with meals but I currently often don't need any bolus insulin when I eat low carb as I'm pretty newly diagnosed

Hey I'm 19 and I've only been diagnosed 2 and a bit months! I live in London too :)

My daily blood glucose readings have been good, most days I'm between 4 and 5 although I can only use finger prick blood glucose tests but normally 2 hours after meals I'm back in the fours (possibly rising a bit higher one hour after meals) I don't take bolus injections at the moment as I'm...

Me again! Just wondering if anyone has experienced keto rash from being in ketosis or eating a low carb diet? Before I was diagnosed I developed eczema on my neck and thought it was due to stress. I then went into dka and after being put on insulin the eczema completely disappeared. I started...

I've just made a batch of low carb crackers but haven't tasted them yet, they're basically just flax seed egg and cheese and rosemary to flavour them! http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/low-carb-rosemary-sea-salt-flax.html

Thanks you that's good to hear! And congratulations on your non-diabetic range!

Thank you for the responses I will experiment further :)
