Hi. Just wondered how you were getting on? I am in the same situation now

Hi. I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm struggling to keep my BG to the recommended levels - 7.8mmols 1 hour after eating. If I do manage it, I usually hypo shortly after. My hba1c was 55 and I'm worried as it wasn't under 48. Also I'm on antidepressants (which I really need) and am worried about...

You're an amazing mummy and you're doing a wonderful job. Well done!

Hi. I've been T1 for 5 months. Im on levermir and novorapid 1:10. When are you testing post meals? Because I was told you should be below 9 two hours post meals, which I am but if I were to test sooner than two hours I would be in the teens. Also I found that I needed less novorapid if I ate...

Well I saw my GP and explained that I didn't want to change and gave my reasons, and he was fine with it. Relieved! I appreciate that the strips cost the nhs money, however I work and pay taxes and its not my fault that i've got diabetes. I've only had it for a few months so still testing a fair...

Hi im t1 diagnosed 5 months ago. Have been doing well hba1c is 49. Im using an aviva meter which i had to buy myself as the hospital did not have one when i was discharged. I am annoyed and concerned as I has a letter from my surgery saying they were changing my glucose meter to a wavesense jazz...

I have got a half unit pen but haven't started using it yet as I wanted to use all of my flexpens up first. My meter is a accucheck aviva. I have gone to 4u levemir now and have had good levels today. Thanks for all the helpfull comments everyone.

Thank you for your reply. It is happening 2-3 hours after food usually so I guess I should maybe try 1:15. I have cut back to 4u levemir tonight. I'm guessing this is the 'honeymoon period' kicking in.

Hi I have type 1. Diagnosed 2 and a half months ago. Have been doing really well on levemir and novorapid, counting carbs etc although haven't been on the dafne course yet. I have been very well controlled on 8u levemir at night then a ratio of 1.5:10 for breakfast then 1:10 for the rest of the...

="becky.ford93, post: 873229, member: 188162"]When I first went into hospital the night of my type 1 diagnosis (three months ago) a nurse asked me if I'd always just eaten a lot of sweet things. A NURSE!! Its frustrating, but you get used to it. I also find it frustrating when people try and...

Thanks for your replies. Guess i'll just have to get used to it. She definately wasn't being nice though :-( Told my practice nurse today, she was appauled. I would expect this kind of ignorance if I worked in an office or supermarket etc, NOT from other nurses! Moan over! ;-) xx

Hi! Im newly diagnosed type 1 too. Almost 4 weeks now. Im also 30. Im just getting the hang of things. Have you got the book/app carbs and cals? Really good for carb counting. My bg ranges from 4-12. Ive had a few hypos now but managed to sort myself out. My diabetic nurse says Im going through...

Is 10g of carbs ok to snack on? Can it be more than that?

Wow! Thank you so much to everyone for the support! I have found tis website/forum really hepfull. Bms seem to be settling, was 7 this morning, levemir was upped to 10u. Finding it really hard not to snack between meals. Im so used to eating whatever i want and used to eat little and often...
