If you were already taking Novorapid you shouldn't see a difference in weight gain. Fiasp is supposed to work faster and usually that means better control. Learning timing will help a lot. Before any insulin you are short making insulin as T1D starts/progresses and have had a tendency to eat...

@Tony337 Much luck it goes really smoothly!

Fresh squeezed orange juice yum..... My neighbor has a tree and we are welcome to pick all the ones within reach and in fact she has said we can freely go into her yard to pick some. That just feels weird so we don't. I guess because I always have dogs and would never give that access to anyone...

When I have switched back and forth from total MDI to pump, to partial pump and partial MDI, to total pump lol, I fret too. Especially that I split the Lantus dose into twice a day dosing. It's easier from pump to MDI than MDI to pump or is that visa versa lol? But you just have to dig in and do...

And gees, I went snorkeling and I haven't been for a while. Granted I kept it shorter than I used to swim, but I hadn't been so.... Usually my BG climbs when I swim and then starts to drop, only it kept climbing hours after. Okay so I switched my pod out because they get hit by stuff that I pull...

@SueJB @becca59 Same here, all sorts of aggravations this past year. Muscle spasm, torn muscle, twice pinched nerve and it was hard to get into my routine of exercising after bouts of not being able to. Then I had the PRP which immediately helped my leg pain, but not my back. But I wasn't...

@becca59 I remember clearing my parents house. I had just closed my store so me and hubby went over there 2-3 times every week for 2-3 months going through stuff, tossing stuff, finding things my family had told me to look for. My mom was a packrat, she filled each room of a 5 bedroom house as...

My TIR dropped too about ten percentage points. I had a PRP treatment and wasn't allowed any exercise including my recumbent bike for 2 months. Nothing to potentially stress my back. It was hard to start up again. Remembering and feeling like getting on my bike when needed. Especially since I...

@SueJB You can be allergic to a particular insulin or the ingredients used with it. I know a couple of people allergic to Humalog. And one allergic to Humalog and Novalog. I know it used to be more common with the older insulins than now. I think the only way you would know is if you stopped it...

@Mellitus Boss It's very hard for me too. One thing that seems to help me is making sure I am not overtaking my insulin, because then I have to eat something extra I hadn't planned on? Like in treating a low. The other thing is to try to follow an intermittent diet. Trying not to eat for 12...

@Tony337 While it's not been approved here for type 1's yet.. It is being used "off label". Meaning doctors are prescribing it, it's just not approved yet for use in type 1's. If you google GLP1 Drugs and type 1's a lot should come up. More research is being done currently. Usually it is for...

That's great news @Nicola M !!!!!!

I'm so sorry, I hope you keep improving and will be able to return to your pump soon. You are doing the best you can under the circumstances. Many hugs and love your way.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!!

That's rotten on the doctors end. They are doing it for your benefit, but there are ways to work with people versus making them feel like they are doing something bad and not trying hard enough. People that don't have type 1 don't realize how much work can go into trying to maintain blood sugar...
