Hi
Very sorry to hear you are feeling grim.
I take anti depressants and well versed with feeling that way.
As a successfully controlled type 1 i have noticed a trend on type 2 type (lol) posts.
The posts seem to lean heavily on diet and low carbs and food.
Thats fine in itself but a huge part...
Hi and thanks.
I've been trying to avoid novorapid during the day but as i wake higher than i want i pop a drop in to get me lower.
Today is a prime example.
Up at 6am and 8.9 so took 18 units tresiba and 1 unit of novorapid.
Alot of walking first thing which is normal and i dropped into the...
Hi
Old bloke here who takes anti depressants...
I don't like this time of year at all.
The leaves are dropping its getting colder and darker.
I'm a school caretaker and the other week i repotted a plant and since then its getting bigger and shinier and i have several plants outside my office...
Again i was on my backside at 8 ish last night.
I cope well during low levels but even i struggled.
Took 18 units this morning and decided to cut back a bit on both insulins.
Luckily for me i am quite a determined individual and i will get to where i want to be.

Had a bish weekend with the new to me Tresiba however woke on a 6.9 and i'm stable 2 hours into my morning.
The question i'm asking myself this morning is.....
Can tresiba affect the strength of novorapid?
I had my carb counting and dosing bang on with levemir and novo but the novo is pulling...
Saturday perfect graph during the day not so night time.
Upped the dose to 20 units yesterday and whilst i struggled at 8pm going too low i ended up levelish going to bed i woke this morning on 6.5mmol/l.
I will stop with 20 units for the next few days.
Does tresiba peak i wonder if so i would...
Yesterday during the day great results.
Last evening/nightime all over the place.
Mixture of tresiba novorapid and carbs way off but it is only day 2.
Increased tresiba by 2 units this morning and had a little novorapid with a few carbs and currently 5.0mmol/l.
Lets see what this evening...
Had a poor nights sleep and poor readings.
4 hours after my evening meal i dropped that low i ended up shovelling jellie babies in.
It first looked like i had taken the wrong dose of novorapid however we have the same evening meal every thursday so took what i normally would take.
I reason i...
Thanks @Lily21
Currently 5.2 mmol/l stayed steady all morning with no food, 8000 steps.
Interestingly on levimir i would have needed around 10g of carbs by now and its impossible to know whether there has been any levimir floating about my system. I last took 14 units at 6pm last night.

Thanks
The school refer to me as site manager but i'm not as i don't have my own budgets.
I call myself caretaker.
Reference to holidays i average about 18000 steps per day but do less during the holidays so my theory and it is only theory i should do the change on a normal work day.
My other...
