Thank you so much, I never thought about experimenting with pre-bolus time! I will try the 5 minute increase

Thank you, I had no idea!

Hi @Antje77, I usually pre-bolus 10-15 minutes before the meal, with Fiasp. I guess pre-bolusing is something that everyone has always told me I should do, so I never thought about this. But it's a really good point, I will give it a try at my next meal. Thank you so much,

Thank you so much for your kind words @Daibell! I hadn't thought about potential swings due to carbs, it's definitely something to consider... I think I'll give Levemir another try : ) Thanks again,

Hi @hellobear007, thank you for your kind words! I'm sorry to hear that, hope things get better soon! I will ask my GP about this. Oh I haven't yet, but I will try this tonight. I admit I often forget to look at the glycemic index of foods, but it sounds like a good place to start! And I'll...

Thank you so much for your reply and kind words @Juicyj! Totally, I really hope I can get to a point where diabetes is not consuming every moment of my day. My mental health wasn't great even before the diagnosis, hence the struggling I think. Thank you for sharing your experience, very...

Thank you so much for your kind words @EllieM I absolutely understand what you mean, sometimes even the 2-hour Dexcom warmup is a bit of a blessing haha I am using Tresiba. The DSN suggested Levemir twice a day, although I'm hesitant to switch, they gave me Levemir at diagnosis and it wouldn't...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Type 1 last summer, still very overwhelmed. Sorry about the long post! I'm on daily injections and Dexcom. I feel that despite my best efforts, and reading and educating myself, I haven't been able to figure out my correct basal dose nor insulin-to-carb ratio...

@Glucobabu from their official website ("Safety information"): "The Sensor should be removed prior to exposing it to an X-ray machine. The effect of X-rays on the performance of the System has not been evaluated. The exposure may damage the Sensor and may impact proper function of the device to...

I switched from Levemir to Tresiba a few months ago, I added up my 2 doses of Levemir (let's say 10u AM and 10u PM = 20u) and did the same of Tresiba in one go (so 20u). BUT I know some doctors suggest starting a bit lower at first to avoid hypos, I personally had no issues and set up alarms in...

I carried a note from my GP with my diabetes diagnosis and explained that the sensors could not go through the X-ray machines. They hand searched me instead. Once (in London I think) they also insisted and swabbed all my sensors, which I don't think they should be able to do with unopened...

Good morning :cat: 4.7 today! I exercised a bit more yesterday and I think it really helped!
