Hi mate I hope I can be of some assistance. I eat high carb meals and I can some times consume up to 120g of carbs in one meal and just match it with my needed dose of insulin. I would tend to eat so called better quality carbs like sweet potato, wholegrain rice and pasta etc. I have the luxury...

Last Friday morning something happened that I will never forget.....I found a young girl dead in the industrial yard where our warehouse is located crushed by a forklift. It makes me think back of all the moaning (sometimes justified) about being type1 and feel a sense of guilt....if having...

Hi all looking for a bit of advice on the protein supplement front. Any of you diabetics particularly type 1's have any experience of using it? Started back in the gym on an intense plan to build muscle and get seriously fit. I try eating natural forms of protein from food but there's only so...

Couldn't agree more with you, I find it seriously rude and cheeky!! All I was asking for was advice on how people cope with eating pizza and different methods they use. I don't need a lecture on what to eat and what not to eat. Just going to have 2 pieces of fruit at once.....please don't tell...

I believe there is a way around everything.

Pizza has beat me. I eat a high carb diet 350g+ a day to cope with a strict exercise regime but I just can't cope with pizza at all. I use my dual wave option on my pump, pump in a bit extra too because of the high fat content but always under up with a high BG number. Has anyone any tips please?

Does anyone out there go to speak to a diabetes counsellor or even just a normal counsellor about their diabetes when feeling down about it. I've been diabetic now for 2 and a half years and well controlled using a pump but as of late I just feel **** (excuse my French) and sometimes just...

Thanks for all the help guys, finally out of the hospital after a long 11 nights. Feeling a lot better now recovering at home and controlling my own diabetes management. All my ratios have increased and also my background insulin. To be honest I probably should have just gone against...

Because this is exactly what happened me last night and I was furious and upset when they TOLD me not to take any insulin....the orders from the doctor supposedly!! Blood sugars got nice and high, right up to 18. Eventually a doctor seen me at 3am and was ever so nice in telling me it was okay...

Finally after a lot of suffering I'm getting my tonsils removed next Thursday. Just wanted to know what others recoveries were like? Did you spend long in hospital? When did you finally feel better? Also did it help long term with general health and also diabetes related when you got them taken...

Finally after repeated bouts of tonsillitis I'm getting them out. Can anyone tell me how their recovery went after the surgery and how their BG levels were. Also have you seen a huge benefit since getting them removed? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
