@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...

I had Prp done yesterday. My sugars kept dropping before as they do with any doctors appointment even though I had a 50% reduction in my basal rate. I was hoping the Prp would help with my back, and it seems to be making a pretty good difference. My right leg doesn't hurt at all, I am standing...

I can get away with dosing for about an inch square of the cinnamon roll lol! The other half is lasting a while!

It was good, but I miscalculated!!! A local coffee shop has been vegan for a few years now and they have malasadas, banana bread, macaroons, bagels, bowls etc that are all vegan. Of course a variety of plant based milks too. The malasada's go fast, they are really good, he gets them twice a week...

@Nicola M I'm sorry you have been doing so bad. Hopefully you progress as fast as possible and return to normal. Hugs and wishes for a full recovery. @becca59 Enjoy yourself! I hope it provides relief from all the stress you've had and comfort in your grief.

@becca59 I am so sorry to hear that. Losing a parent is very hard, not only the grief, but we are used to them always being there.

@Tony337 It's always nice to hear from you!!!!!!

The form online is the absolute easiest way to ask for replacements. Abbot is usually pretty good about replacements, but they have gone through some phases in the past. I am in the US. I had 6 of the Libre 2 when they first came out that were bad, all 6 were from the same pharmacy, Abbot...

I just made rosemary black pepper roasted potatoes wedges Saturday, pure delight!!!! But now you have me craving boiled potatoes with parsley and salt, another favorite of mine!!! And I still have some potatoes, so easy!!!!
