Im trying to do the same. Im type 1 and at 5'11" also, im 8 stone 6! I spoke to my dietician and asked for calogen but she gave me an alternative called Pro-Cal. A 30ml shot gives an extra 100 cals with each meal. I quite like the taste of the neutral 1 as it tastes like babys Rusks. Im using...

My dad had a few tattoos himself and always said if we were to get a tattoo make sure its meaningful, so yes I do think he would approve. Im getting my dads signature and itll either be on the left side of my chest (close to my heart) or the underside of my arm (top part of the lower arm) :)

Vodka and diet coke... i dont take insulin before bed after a night out tho otherwise I go hypo through the night

Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum I have no idea... wasnt the best experience! Doctors just decided to bring me off it after that even though it seemed to do the trick.. I think I was one of the, if not THE, first people in my area to use it.

Thats why I use opposite sides of my stomach for the different insulins

Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum I was put on the pump about 10 years ago, but had to quickly come off it. For me, and my Hba1c results, it worked wonders! The nurses and doctors couldnt believe the drop in the results after being on it for only 3 months and we were...

I'm the same. Im 5'11" and only 8.4 stone.. but my doctors have never advised me on injection sites. I used to use my legs when I was on mixtard until my legs became really fatty with injecting all the time. Now I use the left side of my stomach for my Novorapid and the right side of my stomach...
