Thank you so much for this information about the free style, I have just signed up and I hope this could help me. I am desperate here.

Should I be asking why no one for years has told me what type diabetic I am? I am baffled why no one has. Including the specialist. I believe the humulin 50 50 mix is a mix between slow and fast acting right? I really do appreciate everyone's reply. I am going to ask my doctor again to refer...

Hi! I've never actually been told but they said perhaps type one or MOBI since I got diagnosed at 15. Unfortunately I am carrying weight now as I've developed a type of arthritis but I am still active!

Usually my levels settle all day between 5 and the highest I've seen if I eat really bad is 12. But they are reaching super high after janky sleep. I have been testing at all hours during the nights as well and it all seems fine until I wake up after 5ish hours of sleep.

I feel at a loss because I've already seen my gp and a specialist and they only told me to up my evening insulin by two units. It's frustrating waking up with such high sugars, I feel like I can't even eat when they are that high.

Hi there, sorry I should mention I'm on the humulin mix 50/50 blue pen. It's been great during the day and I go to sleep fine still but the mornings are getting worse.

Hi all. I've been going to bed wirhh decent sugars, checking them at least 2 hours after any food. But then I wake up with them at 16, with no food in between. I'm at such a loss! I don't sleep well, constantly waking, can that be the cause?

Oh gosh my bad! They are currently testing for mature onset diabetes but there's been no Cleer type said for me yet even though I was diagnosed over 10 years go. What is dawn phenomenon?

Hi all. I was wondering if you could help. I am on humalog Mix 50 50 and I take 25 units before I sleep. I usually wake up and check around 2 or 3 hours after because my sleep isn't good and my sugar is a perfect 7 or 8 but then after a couple of hours sleep I wake up with my sugar at 14 and...

Hi thank you for your reply! I am truly at the end of my tether. I have tried low carb and keto. Lowering and raising humulin dosages and for the life of me I cannot get a lower or steady reading through out the day. My nurses are baffled and so am I. Quite frankly I'm miserable having highs of...

Hi all I am just wonder if it is safe to take Humulin m3 with gliclazide. I am currently on 50 units of the humulin and during the days my sugars are quite high. I am wondering if its safe or viable to lower my humulin m3 to around 20-30 units and take one 80mg gliclazide with my morning dosage...

I don't. My diabetic nurse has been quite stubborn with me and even forgetting often what medications I am on. I understand they have plenty of patients but I don't feel particularly listened to. I want to live long and have a healthy life style.

I didn't know you could get low carb bread! Wow thank you for that.

Hey. Honestly they haven't actually told me what type I really am. I got diagnosed a few years ago on accident when I was checked for polysitic ovaries. I am not obese but in the chubby range and both sides of my family are type one diabetics. If I eat the oat meal or toast, the readings are...

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. So much avacado and chicken coming my way. If you don't mind me asking what is your favourite meals to eat?
