It’s really unbelievable that the pump can’t bolus from a smartphone app I mean come on… so frustrating

Hi as a T1 I can highly recommend a keto diet for the last 4 years and my control is absolutely amazing. Yes you’ll have ketones but don’t get confused between dietary ketones and ketoacidosis.

Hi EllieM I will definitely try starting my next G7 and let it run the 12 hours of the grace period I think that will help a lot with the initial erratic readings but given these are a crucial component of the control IQ I think they should be better calibrated from the moment they are inserted...

Hi I am T1 supported with Tandem T2 and Dexcom G7. In general I have had only positive experiences with Dexcom/Tandem however since upgrading from the Dexcom G6 to the G7 I am not so happy. With the G7 I lose the connection with my pump quite often more so when I am asleep however Dexcom is...

Hi I have a Tandem T2 and until recently I used the Dexcom G6 together they worked quite well with the only problems if you can call them problems being the G6 has a large form factor it takes 2 hours to warm up and the 1st 24 hours it can be erratic with inaccurate readings but overall it’s a...

Hello The 120g of carbs was just a figure pulled out of the air, I normally try to keep my carbs as low as possible with my biggest dose of them for breakfast. The doctor told the diabetic nurse to explain how to use the insulin but I was in a hurry to get back to work and though was can she...

Thanks for all the reply's Let me ask a different question which might seem silly but the silly questions never get asked assuming my carb\insulin ratio is 1-10 I get up in the morning and my sugar is 4.5 (an then I woke up :D ) I am going to eat a breakfast with 120 grams of carb do I take...

Ladies and Gents I'm currently working in Seoul where the medical is out of this world and the doctors actually take their faces away from the computer to talk to you anyway my latest 3 month sugar was 7.4 which is higher than the 6 and below they look for in Korea. My last 4 test have all be 7...

Again I´d like to thank everyone for their advise most of which I´ve taken onboard and tried with some level of success as I´ve now managed to lose 1Kg in the last 3 weeks and I think that’s only come about by me severely restricting carbs to no more that 20 per day with my daily calories at no...

Thanks for talking the time to write The pens where changed out in fact the whole patch of pens were changed out so it wasn´t that I actually endured the constantly high sugar for about 6 weeks whilst my doctors tried to convince me that it was impossible for the body to get used to insulin and...

Chances are your Levemir will be fine for you until they bring out some newer and better stuff. I was using Levemir for quite a long time and everything was fine until my glucose jumped up and stayed there my doctor wouldn´t have any discussion that Levemir was the problem, she tried to tell...

I wrote in the forum recently that I was struggling to lose any weight now I´m writing to say that despite my very best efforts I managed to GAIN some more weight - over the last week just 200g but it’s still a gain. I´ve been keeping a very close eye on my glucose and pricking my finger...

For the past couple of years I have been taking Alpha Lipolic Acid (thiogamma - http://www.worwag.sk/eng/produkt/thiogammaturboset.htm) intravenously every 6 months but you don´t find too much information about this stuff on British sites however our European cousins especially the Germany have...

I was on a Levemir Novo Rapid regime for a long time but I found that Levemir didn´t last 24 hours and for me it was best to dose every 12 hours and all my injection sites where lumpy and quite sore Whilst using Levemir my sugars suddenly went sky high and after lots of investigation (I was...

Hi Jopar Thanks for replying and sharing your knowledge My Insulin Ratio changes throughout the day but usually Morning 1:10 Lunch 1:10 Evening 1:8 I´ve actually had a discussion on the forum last year when Levemir stopped working about the benefits of changing to Animal based insulin but...
