After some advice please. I was diagnosed T1 app 2 yrs ago. First few months were hell and then things settled down, using 9 units of tresiba background insulin and 1 unit per 10g of carbs novarapid with meals. This seemed to work fab however recently my fasting sugars have been between 7 and 10...

My ketones are all fine. They aren’t sky high just mid to late teens but aren’t going down. My fasting sugars have been in the teens too. I will ring my team tomorrow morning. Thanks guys

I am only a recently diagnosed type 1. Last 18 months. Last couple of days I have felt shocking, confirmed tonight that I have tonsillitis. No matter how little carbs I eat my usual ratio of insulin isn’t touching me and I am high teens constantly. I thought this could have had something to do...

Hi. I usually have 4 meals a day. Breakfast either. Cereal or brown toast and or fruit. Lunch can be a sandwich or salad and chicken. Evening meal something home cooked. Pasta, roast dinner, meat and veg, jacket potato. It’s later on I can eat bag of choc and crisps. I inject 1 unit for every...

Thank u all for replying. I just enjoy eating what I want when I want. Today I’ve taken 25 units of quick insulin for various meals and snacks. I just don’t know if that’s too much. Will I just be making my body more resistant to insulin? Or will the insulin stop working? I wish I didn’t have...

Diagnosed almost 6 months type 1. No underlying conditions. No family history. When I first found out I was careful with what I ate, however I have soon fallen back into my old habits. What can I say I have an extremely sweet tooth and love my carbs. My sugars are usually in range, between 5 and...

I’m prob not the best qualified as my type is controlled with insulin and my understanding is newly diagnosed t2’s would be on medication. I think the key is low carb, so all the good stuff is out. Plenty of meat and veggies and healthy high fat foods. Hope your doing ok though x

I am a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. On diagnosis my hba1c result was 84, this was 3 months ago. I have just got my most recent result back and it’s now 42. My nurse rang me concerned that I have been over doing the rapid insulin or that my back ground insulin is incorrect. I have changed my...

When I was diagnosed T1 almost 3 months ago my DN requested a scan on my pancreas. I also had the antibody test and c-peptide which confirmed the T1 however after my diagnosis I didn’t ask what this scan was for? Does anyone have any ideas? After waiting weeks I have the scan booked in for...

I don’t really know if they’re in range or not. Being so new to all this I aim to be between 5 and 8. I have stopped checking my bloods constantly however for the past 3-4 days they have been within that range. I think I am still in the honeymoon period because at lunch I tend to eat less carbs...

Evening. Am I being really irresponsible injecting just so I can have an unhealthy snack...... few biscuits, packets of crisps in an evening, usually on a Saturday night. I’m not talking a share size bag just a couple of treats. I currently inject app 1/2 unit per 10g of carbs. Have only been...

Hi. I’m taking 10 units of tresiba once a day and insulin depends on meals. I have the same breakfast and usually carb count 1/2 for 10g of carbs. Although if lunch is less than 20 carbs I don’t have anything. I’m more active in an afternoon and find myself going to low before I’m sure to eat...

Just a quick one. What would people say are ideal numbers for the BG. As a recently diagnosed type 1 I’m still new to all this but had a really good week. Only testing now when I wake up, before meals and before bed. Fasting bloods between 4.3 and 5 and throughout the rest of the day between 4...

I’m waiting to see if I’m eligible for the libre monitor so hopefully I will be. In the meantime I might set an alarm tonight and see what’s going on overnight. It’s all very new to me so know it’s trial and error in relation to the highs and lows

Hi does anyone suffer from constant headaches. I woke up this morning feeling like I had been run over a bus expecting my sugars to be sky high and they were fine at 5.2. I drink water all day everyday but as I’m new to insulin I’ve been advised to introduce slowly with only breakfast and...
