That's me all the time :( worst part about diabetes for me

No problem spam, any other problems with it just give me a shout and I'll help if I can. I've faffed about with mine that much that I pretty much know it inside out lol

Your DSN should have set you meter up for you but to change the bolus advice settings you need to go to - settings - bolus advice - time blocks. This will let you set the bolus advice for the time frames on the meter inc carb ratio and insulin sensitivity. Hope this helps

I too was told that the glucogen kit was only for if I ever became unconscious and therefore unable to treat myself. I was told that if all else fails and I'm struggling to get my numbers back up or are really low then I should use the glucogel and always have slow acting carbs 20-30 mins after...

My blood sugars dropped dramatically from high 20s to normal range and my insulin requirements just under halved :) the biggest pat on the back for me personally was my levemir going from 55units down to 36 I was proud as punch with that. However I feel I lost too much weight as I looked gaunt...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping some of you may be able to offer some advice or share your experiences. Did any of you experience unexplainable hypos in the first few weeks of pregnancy? The reason for my asking is over the past week or so I have had multiple hypos (much lower than I've had before)...

Had mine done in October, although the virus changes all the time and sometimes things like this happen I'd rather have the vaccine on the off chance it may lower my chances of catching flu

I've only just seen this post. I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of your brother Ally, my thoughts are with you and your family at this terrible time. Take care and I hope everything goes as well as it can on the 19th x

Beautiful day here in Cumbria, nice and sunny for a change. Great day to take the kids down to the park and run off some steam

5.9 much better than yesterdays 9.8

It is daft when you think about it, but gp's and dsn have always told me test first then treat if necessary. However I am normally chomping down my "fixer" as I'm testing, I have been caught out a few times by false hypos though and felt a bit silly holding glucose tablets in my hand
