Thank you very much for all this information, it’s very helpful. I’m very interested by this: “High carb - I usually dump all my insulin at once. High fat/protein i usually split it 60% upfront and 40% after an hour.” I’ve never heard of anybody doing this before (I always do the total amount...

Thank you for your reply. No, I’m not on an insulin pump and would rather not be. I am on Levemir and Novorapid, although they want me to switch from Novorapid to FIASP. And no, certainly within the ten years I’ve been living in Spain I have never been given any useful advice by an...

Hi Luke, could you see my message that I posted just now in the group and offer me some recommendations? I’d love to know how you manage to eat whatever you want and maintain such an outstanding TIR. Thank you!

I am preparing for IUI to become a single mother. It is a requirement to have an hba1c of a close to 6,5 as possible, and blood sugars between 3.6 (64) and 6.3 (140) over 70% of the time. I am finding it incredibly difficult. I’m not sure I would call it “success” as emotionally it’s been pretty...

Just received 7.0% today - the lowest I’ve had in 32 years of diabetes

93 (5.2) this morning Happy Friday

137 (7.6). Not ideal but understandable considering the long lie-in I had. And celebrating my first night without a hypo since switching to Levemir!

5.4 is a perfect bloodsugar?

93 (5.2) this morning, but after another hypo at 2am. Will continue reducing levemir… think I’ve nearly got it. Happy Friday everyone

107 (5.9) this morning but that’s after a hypo at 5am. Had several hypos throughout the past three days… starting to bring me down emotionally. Hoping I’ll work out this change to levemir sooner rather than later.

82 (4.6) this morning, but I was in a hypo from 2am to 4am and too tired to acknowledge my alarm and fix it. #life of a teacher #still adjusting to a switch to levemir Happy Wednesday all

Mine is 7.3% (56) Little depressing reading all these replies… everyone on around 5% I have a high intensity job. I eat two slices of brown bread for breakfast, an apple for mid-morning snack, soup and a bread roll for lunch, and something similar for dinner. Despite being incredibly focused...

Good afternoon, I am a type one diabetic who has been diabetic for 31 years. My current HBa1c is 7.3% and I am trying to reduce this before pregnancy. I have been on Novorapid plus a single dose of 19 units of toujeo in the morning. I was having severe bloodsugar drops between 2am and 6am...

Hello I'm 29 years old. I have a cholesterol level of 200, with HDL of 102 and LDL 87. I am a healthy weight and eat a very healthy diet. My doctor is very quick to prescribe strong medicines and I feel I need a second opinion on his recent decision. He has told me to start taking statins...

Thank you everyone, very useful advice.
