Ok it's been three months since my last test. In that time my consultant put me (type 1 and on a pump) on a low carb diet. My new result is 44! :) I'm over the moon. Even tho I speak old speak on results and not quite sure what is translates to. I know its in the green

It's funny as I thought I'd solved it but I'm finding that as I lose weight I am needing less insulin. I've had two hypos today. One in the morning and one this afternoon. Both times I didn't have my usual warning signs. Normally I feel hungry as I treat my hypos but again this didn't happen...

A tongue in cheek answer: Only if it's the portion size of Everest. :) In all honesty, nuts in moderation are healthy and if you cut your carbs your body still needs fuel. Healthy natural fats are a good fuel source.

Is she eating things you are unaware of? I did that a lot as a kid. It was the only way I could eat sweets.

Children crave sweet things as they are growing. They need the energy to grow hence why their tastes change. Fruit is a healthy way to give them that. If your child is very active then I see no harm in the fruit on its own. Have you settings on the pump for when she exercises? Eg reduction of...

I wonder what they would use instead. Scary thought

As an aside I was shocked to find that it's horrifically true. I wanted some cooked chicken drumsticks without any coating or sauce. I picked up the plain chicken pack at Sainsburys and my wife said to me "I don't like their chicken it is sweet for some reason". I checked the bottom of the pack...

I change mine every test simply because I saw a poster in the waiting room at the hospital on what happens to the needle after it's used once. Makes me flinch thinking about it lol

It will also depend on your daughters response to Orange. I'm on a pump and they don't spike me. I do tend to eat them before exercise though. Is she active?

I remember switching to "human" and going through an absolute nightmare. Can't remember why it was so important to switch as I was a child at the time.

Oh good grief. I'm gonna say it. Stop getting personal. Stop sniping each other's comments. I don't want to read anti low carb or anti Douglas comments anymore. Finished. Done.

I've used the very top of my thigh as an alternative rest site from my abdomen. This has worked well in terms of absorption for me but is a little trickier from a hair perspective (being a hairy bloke) and it gets a little sore quicker. I use the top outer side of the thigh and if I'm not...

If in any doubt to your doctors advice then seek a second opinion. This is not a bad thing to ask your doctor to do this, it's really an opportunity to settle any doubts you may have. You're not questioning his ability either because another doctor may very well verify what your GP has said. At...

Some people have. And your dailies are the same as mine.

You've never grown resistant?

Interesting that a mix with velosulin in a pump makes it better more heat resilient or less sensitive. I'm seriously considering this. I had velosulin when I was younger. As an aside how often do people change their insulins in their lifetime? I've had Actrapid, velosulin, Novorapid and now...

Thanks for the links. That was a very interesting piece on Humalog and I will be looking to change from it ASAP. Dom

Hi I'm type 1 on a pump using Humalog insulin. When not on the pump I use Lantus as back up. After a recent nightmare in hospital I wonder if anyone else has ever had issues whether on a pump or not with insulin and heat. To cut a long story very short, one night while in hospital my pump...
