Thanks, @catapillar . Yes, Solostar is Lantus so I will not rush things. I currently take 20 units at 10am each day, so calculating a 10% adjustment will be easy - to start at least! I do know that the Humalog is not working quickly enough for me as it seems to kick in approx 1.5hrs after I...

Ok, guess what I will be doing tomorrow! Unfortunately, I only have the CGM for a few more days so my fingers will suffer, but I am willing to try anything! Thank you!

The thought of eating the same thing day in, day out would make me want to give up now, so that really is not an option for me. As a former chef, I enjoy a very varied diet and am not scared to adapt almost any recipe to make it more diabetic friendly, so for me, variety definitely is the spice...

This is a great idea which I am more than willing to try, but I do not use a pump so how on earth could I even begin to adjust my Basal insulin if I inject this just once a day?

A typical day's food for me is two slices of toast and butter (very occasionally Marmite and/or peanut butter too!) for breakfast, a small amount of roast chicken or a single celery stick with salad cream mid-afternoon as I am feeling completely starving by this point, and then a salad with...

Ok, firstly, I have NEVER heard of a Basal test! What is it and what would it show? The only Basal 'testing' I have ever done was when I first started on Solostar amd went as carb free for a week as I could until I found what I thought was the correct dose for me. This has since been adjusted...

Thanks, @azure , for the reply. I used to eat three times a day but found that either my sugars were too high or I was having to take far too much Bolus to counteract the rise so I was going hypo too often. It is for this reason alone that I decided to cut right back on carb-laden meals, my...

Hi, I am a new member to this forum, but have been a Type 1 diabetic for almost 40 years. Recently, I decided to try to eat a low carb diet as my blood sugars have been erratic and I am now suffering the side effects of too many highs and lows, despite following all the dosage and dietry...

What would be even more interesting is to somehow track the differences each person has in their individual treatment - I have had massive arguments with my doctor as they keep insisting that NovoRapid is the best and fastest reacting insulin, and yet it takes hours to work for me....... As a...
