I've been trying a ketogenic diet for the past couple of months. It's improved my sugar levels so much. My HBA1C is now 43. I've learnt to cook so many delicious things too. Yesterday, I made a coconut and almond flour sponge with chocolate butter icing and caramel butter cream filling. It's...

Hi, While I've been a type 1 for 40plus years, I've always assumed that Candarel sweetener type products were zero carbs. I've just read the labels and they are actually 100%, gram for gram carbs. I can't figure out how I've gone so long without noticing the impact on my blood suger. I guess...

Hi, I'm a Type 1 and after 40-something years of struggling I have realised that the only way I can control my sugar levels is with a ketogenic diet. If I eat any carbs, it will be no more than 40g/day and always in the morning. One big thing to learn when newly diagnosed is honest and accurate...

I'm a type 1 using omnipod and Libre. I've been a frustrated diabetic for 40plus years. I've been fasting (complete) for two days a week for about three months and settled in to the routine. My experience: The two days of the week that I'm fasting are my best controlled days. The basal...

The guidance I was given was to use the sildenfil with other aids like rings and a pump.

My night time BG varies according to my evening eating. Protein and fat all contribute to rises in BG. Eating high carb food demands higher boluses and these may be the cause. I use AAPS and the software shows that digesting my evening meal can sometimes take all night, especially after cheese...

Hi. My wife and I drive to eat a low carb diet but it's so hard. We've started eating food that's not typically breakfast in the morning which, once you are used to it, opens up loads more low carb options. Ie breakfast isn't just toast or cereal. Eggs, eggs and more eggs (they are so...

How did you get on?

I find drinking too much barista style coffee gives me mild acid reflux which then aggravates my tonsils. I'm fine with instant coffee. I do love the faff of making barista style coffee and have the paraphernalia for grinding and brewing coffee beans. I have had to cut making my own coffee down...

I closed loop using the Omnipod Eros and Freestyle Libre2 with AAPS. Really happy with it
