Getting on for 50 years ago i went for a check up and the specialist, a doctor Buston funny name as a child, was very worried i had lost half a stone and wanted to take me in to hospital which they did in those days but my mum worked out the 6 week holidays had been warm and dry and i had joined...

No one is a pain and the single reason we come on this site is to ask questions. I had an awful night on Friday as i ate alot and took too much novorapid so i was still eating at 9pm. I missed my alarm and woke the following day in the 14s. I was not best pleased as the fault was mine. Took an...

What time do you take your Tresiba? I find it strongest around 10 hours after taking it. I take it at 6am during the week and 9am at weekend. Tony

I've answered your question in a previous post the one where i reference myself friend Mike and sister Yvonne. My body responds extremely well to walking and i realise how lucky i am. Levels good great. Levels on the up i walk and that brings them down. Levels low then 10g of carbs. Repeat the...

Hi Whilst no i haven't its an interesting subject. I have bile acid malabsorption where food can be in and out in 20 minutes. I'm often swollen and bloated however. I take amitryptiline that both treats depression and slows down my digestive system. I'm reminded of a plane flight to the...

Hi @Jack64 I'm type 1 of 52 years and just changed from levemir to Tresiba. Are you type 1 or 2 ? How have you got on since Monday? Do you have a cgm? I wish you well Tony

I was diagnozed in the 70s and for this poor girl to lose her life is beyond sadness. There must have been so many things that could have been done to prevent this. I have a glucose monitor that has seperate strips to check for keytones. Its that simple. Such a sad story. Tony

As @CheeseSeaker points out they take a while to bed in as it were so i place one on my opposite arm 2 days before my other one runs out. I wear a sensor on each arm for 2 days and only activate when the original runs out. This does improve accuracy IMHO. I swim and place a plaster every time...

Thanks "what a fantastic graph" is a phrase only a diabetic would use lol. Some days they look like the Himalayas and i'm a roaring Yeti.... Tony

Forgive my poor IT skills @SueJB but this is todays up to date graph by just grazing and doing with the tresiba keeping in place. Tony

My neighbour Mike and sister Yvonne are both type 1... Mike takes 7 units of lantus and yvonne takes 24 units of toujoo and i take 16 units of Tresiba... 3 different people 3 different insulins 3 different amounts. For me its a simple equation involving 3 factors... 1.Insulin 2.Walking...

Morning Yesterday my levels did as predicted and this morning i have a flat graph and stayed in the sixes overnight. I'm still a bit obsessed with my numbers and have had 45 scans/views per day over the last 7 days. I'm forever checking my steps too and do wonder is it me or the tech thats...

Hi Whilst i'm a type 1 since childhood i thought i would just point out my blood machine is a care sense pro which tests sugar levels and keytones. 2 different strips but both on prescription. Just a thought and i wish you well Tony

Theres no secret i'm just one of the lucky ones.... My body which is a bit old and a bit knackered responds very well to activity and by that i mean plain old walking. My libre is proof. So all i do is match the insulin with the walking and add the carbs along the way. Changing to tresiba has...
