I never realized this was so strict regarding u know the "medical advice". Cause I don't know how it is in ya'll guys countries but over here if I ask doctor about some bloog control strategy he will usually be somewhere along the lines "Well you should carefully try and see it how works out for...

Thats the funny part haha. It never did affect my mental health at all. I never knew a sudden drop like that was possible. But now that I know I started worrying about it quite a bit. I guess you are right. I calculated and I guess I injected Basaglar between 1000 and 2000 times or so without...

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely be keeping a bottle of cola or something nearby the bed just in case. And I think Ill switch to 4mm needles instead of my 6 mm ones just for more peace of mind. I do think that I should switch the basal too eventually. Life is just a bit hectic right...

Hello lovely people! I am writing because I am currently going down the spiral of absolute fear.. Obviously too much Google and 'what if' long story short I am a very anxious person and usually super scared of various health things - Im one of those people who constantly fears something is...

Hey guys. Has anyone else been through something like this? I currently use 14 units of glargine basal insulin at night. My sugar is almost always towards the high side, hanging out at around 10 mmol and always raises during the night. I mean its kind of obvious that I need to increase my...

How are you stress levels? Me personally I am a very very VERY anxious person. From my personal experience there is a ton of stuff that could happen from high anxiety. This too. You should definitely mention it to a doctor. However, if you have a stressful period keep in mind that this could...

Hey everyone. Sorry if this was posted before. I was wondering what your bedtime / wake up time is like. Do you find that having a worse sleeping schedule negatively impacts your diabetes control? The reason why I'm wondering about this is because I work late evening shifts (till 1am) and I...

I feel you. Bg often goes haywire when doing activity while high. What I tend to do is when Im working out and I see that my sugar isn't dropping, I kinda push myself to the limits. That usually gets the ball rolling and drops my bg. Sometimes too much tho and have to end up having a snack to...

Currently very lazy on my activities. Had a bit of a depressive period which also caused me to abuse alcohol for a while. However, I used to be very active and I'm on the good path to getting better. When I used to be more active I did around 30 mins - 1 hour of brisk walking just after...

Hey. I am on Novorapid myself and having similar issues at the moment. But I honestly have doubts that it is the insulin itself. I used to have similar issues with Fiasp and I got scared that its not working and switched to Novorapid. The issue still happens from time to time. Personally I...

Hey everyone. I am too one of the people who were diagnosed with T1D but lived without insulin for around 2 years. For me personally, I went to the hospital with A1C % of 10 and fasting BG of 20. Was instantly put on insulin. However, within a few weeks my insulin needs kept on dropping and...

Just a little thing I noticed. Was checking my step counter on the phone. It seems that the past 2 - 3 months I am taking way less steps than I used too. This timeframe is approx when these issues have arisen. Definitely might be my physical activity levels I guess? I do wonder about my...

Not with a CGM atm but I do use them. Usually the bg doesn't climb rapidly. Usually its high in the morning I get it down but it climbs back up with lunch and stays that way until late evening when I can get it down again. The injections I mentioned are just correction doses. I would assume...

Hello, I am a T1D of a few years now. Lately it seems like my insulin is doing absolutely nothing unless I combine it with physical activity. I had some issues with alcohol abuse in the past and I am currently fighting with that and I sometimes relapse and start drinking for a few days until...

I was sick. But I am recovering and almost over the illness just a bit of cough remains at this point. However, I am still taking antibiotics and not sure if this could be messing with my blood glucose. I am not sure if I am stressed or not. Generally, I am always under a bit of stress but...
