I changed to Tresiba from Lantus after 15 years of using it, much more stable and less nocturnal hypos. In regards to FIASP, I also changed to this from Novorapid around 2 years ago, made a world of difference to me. In essence it is still Novorapid, but has two additives which increase the...

Thanks! Looks quite interesting. May take a punt even with delayed delivery. How strong are the vibrations?

I thought the same, couldn't get it to work anyhow. TBF the ticwatch has been ok so far touch wood. Had it over a year. Do you have a link to the Watlass? never heard of this before. Thanks

Hi ALl, I currently use the libre with miaomiao and Xdrip. It works a treat. But I also have a Ticwatch pro. I wanted to know if there was any way of changing the vibration length for high/low BS levels on the watch. It currently vibrates 3 times and that's it, I'd prefer to use a vibration on...

If you are paying for it yourself, Dexcom is the better al rounder. I use the libre, but that's because I get it on the NHS.

So much negativity, if we knew what the future held then we would all probably curl up and die in a corner out of fear. I was diagnosed as type 1 at 8 with no family history, I know many others with a similar story. I know people who have been diagnosed at 30+, it can develop at any time. People...

The only thing I would say in regards to this, as I had previous experience (with different brand). Although they looked the same and fitted ok, one type didn't sit tight in the holder, so when I used the pricking device it would be kind of loose and I got a very deep prick!. Just something to...

I had this recently. Al of a sudden I've been needing at least 50% more bolus than I was before, tried different batches of insulin and same thing. Basal is spot on as without no food its very stable. Only thing changed recently is my sleep pattern and lack of sleep, I have begun to conclude...

Don't quite understand what you mean by the last part. Obviously low/no carbs helps control BS better. But if you eat carbs, they affect the body in different ways, that's my point. If your body doesn't handle carbs as well, this still applies. Obviously there's anomalies in everything, no one...

Yes but this is a question asked in Type 1 sub forum, so you giving your opinion on it doesn't matter for type 2's is completely irrelevant here. It does matter where its from, and it matters even more depending on the type of insulin you use. To put it simply glycemic index shows how quick it...

Except it does matter what the carb comes from. It may still be a carb. But not all carbs increase glucose levels at the same rate. One of the keys believed to minimize complications is fluctuations in glucose levels as well as high levels. So something that acts too fast and increases levels...

I believe Dr Bernstein uses 0.75 units per gram of protein. But he also uses long lasting insulin's instead of what we generally use (fast acting).

I trained 6 days a week, weight training and cardio. Until the gyms closed. Still do what I can at home. Happy to help with what I can. Join Phil Graham's diabeticmuscleandfitness group on facebook. Basically exactly what you are looking for.

I stopped using sharp bins ages ago. Have put them in a general bin. But I make sure needle caps etc are back on before they go in.

Its times like this where we need to be helping each other out as a human race. Being a production manager at a flour mill that supplies the largest bread manufacturers and supermarkets across the country. I really haven't had a choice not to work. Obviously I've taken a lot of precautions with...
