Yes, always. Since starting on the 780g I have followed the advice of bolusing 10-20 mins before eating (usually 15 mins), and I have always been truthful with the amount of carbs. I have only been eating things where the carb content has been available on the packaging and I have weighed it...

Hi Nicola, Thanks so much for your reply. I had seen that facebook group before but my request to join is still 'pending' for now. I found the same advice from other forums where people say to enter a bg reading to make the corrections start again, but this did not work for me. It seems like a...

Hello all, I am in a bit of state and would really appreciate some insight or experience from other people who are using the 780g. Is there anybody on the 780g who have decided to use it only in manual mode? I was previously on the Medtronic 640g pump with Freestyle Libre 2 sensors. I have...

Ah yes that's a good point about the exercise and other variables, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you :)

Hi, I need to test that my ratio for my evening meals is correct, and to do that I think it would be best to have the same meal a few nights in a row and see what happens to my blood glucose levels. The trouble is that I'm struggling to think of meals where I can be sure of the carb content. I...

Today is a good example of why I am so baffled by my high sugars all week: Friday means I have a cooked breakfast from the work's canteen, this consists always of 1 slice of toast, 1 slice of bacon, 1 fried egg and 1 hash brown. I count this as being 40g of carbs as an educated guess. So using a...

@Lynne C J Thank you, having breakfast earlier is what I will be trying next, it also opens up my options for food because I don't have access to a microwave at work. @VivD Thank you for the suggestions, I'm going to look into more high fat and protein/low carb options. By HIT do you mean that...

Well I'm just about pulling my hair out at this point. Tried increasing the bolus dose this morning and still got a reading of 18.5 two hours after eating. In comparison, when I used to have some sort of breakfast bar (typically 30g carbs) with the same ratio, I found my sugars would go back to...

Very interesting, thank you all. I’ve been diabetic for almost 9 years and I’m only just discovering how protein and fat also factor into BG control and it’s all a little overwhelming. I will look at full fat yogurts next time I shop and cut out the raisins. For now, I think it’s clear that I...

The yogurt is fat free but not sure about added sugar. The carb content of one pot is 5.3g. Is this a problem? I don't really fancy switching to a full fat one, thought this would be a healthier option. I have however been counting the carbs for the mixed nuts & raisins wrong! :facepalm: I had...

Thank you both! There is definitely a learning curve here and I think my ratio may not be quite right. I'm keeping a food diary and going back to the dietician in a couple of weeks so hopefully she can provide some insight. Today I'm eating the same but seeing if splitting the novorapid dose...

Hi! New to the forums, I'm Type 1 and injecting Novorapid for meals and Lantus in the evening. I'm trying to tackle my high sugars in the mornings. I recently saw a diabetes dietician and she suggested I make a switch from my usual breakfast bars of about 30g of carbs to something with low GI...
