    a website with delicious recipes

    I remember that someone on this forum shared a link to a site with low-carb recipes (yes, I realize that a lot of people did it here), it was definitely a full-fledged site with a lot of recipes, but all I remember is meatloaf with mozzarella. I really want to find this site, but I can't. There...

    Frequency of Tresiba dose adjustment?

    it is not recommended to change the dose of tresiba often because this insulin must cycle and work for more than 24 hours. It takes about 5 days for you to see the effect of a dose change. This does not mean that you cannot change the dose for months.

    I need to reduce my Tresiba (again!), and it's a pain in the proverbial. And nighttime hypos.

    Similar story :D. Literally in a year and a half, my basal dose dropped from 26 to 12 units, and only recently rose to 14, despite the fact that up to this point, since the end of puberty, my dose has been very stable. I have no idea why this happened. I was under a lot of stress when I couldn't...

    The smell of Insulin

    I think it smells like paint. Whether it's a children's watercolor, or something similar

    Does someone want to explain it to a ten year old?

    since I was less than 10 years old myself when I was diagnosed with diabetes, I can try to explain it the way my doctor did for me. But I have t1, so if I make a mistake, please correct those who understand t2 better Cells need glucose to live and work. In order for glucose to enter the cells...

    Type 1 Diabetes

    With T1, the immune system kills pancreatic cells and as a result we have no insulin at all, but with t2, the pancreas works even better than in people without diabetes, but cells can absorb only a small part of this insulin due to resistance. "You can't have another type of diabetes" only means...

    Cold water swimming and diabetes

    now I regret that having the opportunity to swim in the sea beyond the Arctic circle, I did not use it. But it really seems that the colder it is, the easier it is to control diabetes (or maybe the fact is that I was drinking a lot of alcohol and walking a lot at that time). God, @Antje77...

    freestyle libra

    after 2 weeks of use, the sensor should not be readable, it has an expiration date. If the sensor is running and you just need to read the readings, you can download the diabox app, I really like it. If the problem is with geolocation, you can download the app via VPN by setting the desired...

    Basal and bolus

    I was told to step back 2 fingers from the previous place. You can't inject both bolus and basal through the insulin port at the same time, but people used to mix them into one syringe, but there was some kind of scheme, to be honest, I don't remember whether it's dangerous if basal to get into...

    Basal and bolus

    Yes, you can do it at the same time, but not in the same place so that the insulins can't mix.

    Insulin Pens

    It's unpleasant, but sometimes it happens. bolus instead of bahal is more pleasant than basal instead of bolus, because you can handle it in half an hour. Although with tresiba I don't feel if I duplicate the dose once, but with lantus it provided a sleepless night I hope your shortbread was...
