@Nicola M I agree with @Antje77 , steroids will do it!! I am amazed your TIR improved, that means you handled them pretty well! Insulin is always like water to me when I've had to have them.

@Tony337 Lol... At least you like salads!!!!!! Fresh meals are always best and the healthiest! I am always mixing it up with whats in my salad and I like lots of veggies in mine!!! I eat a huge salad for my major meal about 3 times a week. I top it with either tofu, tempeh, seitan, or an...

@Tony337 Sometimes if you put things over the veggies that you do like gets you used to eating that vegetable more. I used to have boyfriends when I was young that didn't like veggies, I would put Hollandaise sauce or cheese over different veggies and they would love it! Lemon over broccoli...

@Tony337 They make taro donuts here! You get them freshly made and served hot! Absolutely delicious and gluten free. A small place that has opened a few locations now. Taro is common here but there are no stats on almost anything taro, forget donuts. I had to start with what regular donuts are...

I don't have a problem with potatoes, although there is a purple potato here I love and if I eat too many with margarine on it, it proves trickier. Rice was the battlefield for me. I am finally better about eating small amounts, a couple of spoonfuls and I'm fine but a cup?? No...... And lately...

I have been a vegan for 40 years and a vegetarian for 57 years. I wasn't about to give up my way of eating when I became a T1. I've never had a problem. Enough protein is easy unless you don't eat a lot. If you don't eat a lot then you do have to make sure you include enough protein, but that is...

In the US you can buy a home testing kit on Amazon. I would think you can in the UK too.

Good Morning! I hope everyone is in good health!

I have put the Libre on in several different spots and it's been fine. (I use it as a second add on for swimming) You can also use the front of the arms, or off side on the front of the arm, just make sure to avoid directly over the muscle! That can hurt! Since I restart my Dexcom's, I prefer...

If you were just diagnosed 3 years ago with type 1, it's possible you are still in the honeymoon phase. As an adult when you "get" type 1, your insulin production doesn't suddenly stop. We call that the honeymoon phase. You still make insulin, but it can be erratic and declines over time. So if...

Hi @SueJB ! Are you on any medications? Some can cause it. When they put me on Januvia, it caused it. Back then it wasn't listed as a side effect so no one thought that was it. But when I stopped they slowly went away. It could be an electrolyte shortage, a lot of the time potassium. We used to...

@LinsT Thank You! I found his site! Some of it looks really good! You might be interested in It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken by Sam Turnball recipes for turkey and bologna deli slices. I have never tried a recipe of hers I haven't liked. I use her Seitan steak recipe. She also has a nice chicken...

@LinsT Yep, You can treat it like tofu or seitan. Just slightly chewier, slight flavor difference. It can come flavored, but that goes for tofu, seitan or tempeh. I haven't made my own seitan deli slices. I've thought about trying that. I've been a little lazy as I like a few of the vegan deli...

I love tempeh and tofu. Tempeh has a more meatier texture and usually more flavor to it. Plus you can find it made from various grains too which changes the flavor some. Lightlife has bacon flavored tempeh strips that are delicious! The thing to remember is while it has some flavor, you make it...

Wow, so sorry to hear that @Nicola M . I know when we went to Mexico there is always the warning to be careful. We took a local bus tour out and our tour guide told us to not eat street vendors food and to only drink liquids from pre bottled fluids if you really want to be careful. Unfortunately...
