Mine is 7.1, the third result during my 1-year Type-1 diabetes. The two previous ones were 6.8-6.9 My doctor said it's fine up until 7.5, but I still can't help feeling disappointed and blaming myself.

Hello everyone, Thank you for your support and advice... This is a long journey, there are so many things to learn. I know it's very new for me and I shouldn't be this pessimistic right in the beginning, but it's just so inevitable. Today I had my check-up. I told my concerns and all my...

I've had T1 diabetes for a year now. My previous 2 HbA1c results were very good. There were times that I felt very tired of it, but it didn't take longer than maybe 2 weeks. But this time, it feels very different. It's been 2 months or so, I have lost all my control over diabetes. I don't check...

Hello all, Thank you again for your replies. Dear Otenba, my problem was that I was having really high BG for around 2 weeks, especially 2 hrs after lunch. But then again, some 4-5 hours after NovoRapid, I had lows at times. So I couldn't decide what to do with Lantus. Some friends on the...

Crisis time! My period is soon, obviously, as I feel like eating whole day. And the worst is that I'm craving mostly sweets. Fruit, unfortunately, isn't satisfying enough. I know I should put a limit to it and I feel guilty but it's just impossible. And periods are the time when it feels so...

Hello friends, Thank you very much for your replies! I don't have to change my Lantus to 15 units any more because my BS has turned to normal. Actually the idea of reducing it made me so happy but...Anyway! I believe I showed good progress in 4 months, going from 24 to 15, but still I have a...

Hi Nicklenocky, Hijacking? Of course not! I'm glad you shared your experience too and there will definitely be helpful advice and information on Lantus :)

Hello all, In an earlier post by me, a few friends suggested that I should decrease my Lantus dose, which is currently 16, as I had lows 5 hours after NovoRapid. I decided to try 16 dose a few days more to see what will happen and I've been having lows since yesterday. So, it's sure that I...

I don't have a special diet or I don't low-carb. But a bit picky about carbs as there's the danger of putting on weight and other health issues: I always eat rye-bread(the best part of living in Finland!) and wholemeal pasta/rice in moderate portions. But lately I've eaten some white rice and...

I've just checked it and it's 4.4. Wonderful :) Sometimes I get panicked and eat way too much sweets during a hypo... Then I always have to take more insulin to cover them too :oops: But now I'm learning :D

Hi Ebony, Thank you very much for your reply. OK, so I did the right thing :) I covered only the food. I'll check my blood sugar 1 hour later and see what's happening. Well, I guess in my case it's better to take NovoRapid before eating. My blood sugar has been pretty up and down for a while...

Snodger, thank you so much! It's been such a relief to talk about my worries and problems in the forum and have your suggestions. Actually I've got this habit of injecting after meals since I started the school. Mostly because I felt embarrassed to inject in public at school's cafeteria. Also...

Hello, I have a question about hypo and insulin. For example, before dinner, I had a hypo. I took one table spoon of honey and then ate food. Now I can't decide how to adjust the NovoRapid: Should I count the carbs of honey (as it was for hypo) or only the food? Another question, I...

Hello Snodger, I'm on NovoRapid and Lantus. I inject around 12 or sometimes 12:30 right after the lunch. When I check it 2 hours later, it's around 12 or even 14. I inject 16 Lantus and was planning to make it 17, but then I also have these hypos.

Thank you...And I will :) By the way, my blood sugar was 8 at 16:10(4 PM). But now I'm having low. It was 3.4 some 20 mins before. And yesterday I had 2.3 around 5 PM, as I said in my first post. It was 14.5 around 2 PM! What's going on...
