Hi there, I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in 2019. I had a GAD test recently which showed that it is over 2000 IU. I have also been getting excruciating CRAMP with stiff legs in bed in the early morning often, which includes a different sort of pain to simple cramp, I think, and...

I am not as unwell as I was, and I had even forgotten that I had posted about this previously! Thank you Jaylee. My BG seems quite usual.

Working it out, it is about 31 per bottle....but I do not think it would be accurate to inject on that basis because the taste seems quite sweet. I injected 5 units but BG has remained quite high (for me) despite only taking sips every now and again. I do not have a fever now, but I still have...

I am not feeling well with a heavy cold etc etc, and yet feel I can drink a protein drink. I have some Fortisip, Compact Protein drink. (125 ml) Does anyone know if it is particularly highly glycaemic? And any suggestions as to now many units of Novorapid might work for me? I know it is...

And thank Livinglife for your advice too!

Thank you Nicola. A neighbour has just delivered me a protein drink which I feel is do-able!

I found it really difficult to eat my lunch today because I've felt so unwell with this cold. Would it be okay regarding blood glucose... if I just skipped the evening meal tonight ...because I really don't feel like eating anything?

Thank you Juicyj!

No, I have not had the latest booster nor as far as I am aware, any infection.
