I have a meter which tells me how much to correct by so I obliged by that. I have a tricky evening meal, I went to a BBQ and she said food would come at 5:30pm so I injected for then and the food wasn't actually served until 8:30pm..I ate some meat and some sweet potato so I'm not sure if that...

My blood sugar before bed was 17.7 so I corrected with my novorapid and gave my lantus. I've woke up and it's now 16.4? Can anyone explain this to me?

@noblehead It's like yesterday it was 6.2 before dinner than 9.8 before bed even though I only ate chicken and vegetables for dinner.. I don't really understand

Hi all I keep having high levels of about 11/12 after meals despite carb counting correctly and giving more insulin than needed in fact, do I need to give more novorapid or give more lantus?

Hi guys I have trouble sleeping and I was wondering if Nytol was ok for me to take? It said in the smallest writing there is glucose but didn't say it's affect on diabetics.. Does anyone know?

I bolus for every meal but for lunch and dinner I've always had a piece of protein and vegetables because my family and I don't particular like pasta or rice. I used to maybe have sweet potato or couscous on the plate but that's never a thing anymore, I can't cope. But it is breakfast in...

Haha it's okay I was worried no one would reply and try help or understand so it's nice someone has! I associate the insulin with causing weight gain - if I have a hypo I will have just 1 glucose tube as I can see the calories on it being very little, in the past I've just had coffee to bring it...

Thank you for your detailed response I appreciate the advice and care. I do test regularly - a minimum of 4 times a day. I think I'm mainly scared because I don't want to have to give myself more insulin if I'm high because I think that will make me gain weight. I used to eat granola or porridge...

@donnellysdogs Thank you for your response - yes these are questions my parents and I have asked as I do struggle mentally with being able to eat carbs and will not go somewhere if the option is not there. I've been through many assessments to get to this specialist so hopefully they will...

Hi all thank you for the replies - I have been having omelettes every morning and just wanted to know if it was damaging to do this. I have a huge fear of carbohydrates (I'm seeing an eating disorder specialist to help me) and I get scared the insulin won't bring my levels to a stable level...

I have the flavavan oats which you pick in the microwave for 2 minutes - would they still be causing me to spike?

Thank you both! @noblehead Which brands would you recommend?

Hi everyone I'm getting a bit bored of having omelettes for breakfast every morning, but the porridge I used to buy would not bring my levels down to normal, never mind how much insulin I gave myself. I was wondering what cereals work for you guys and keep your levels in normal range?

Hi all I have type 1 diabetes and have recently been having omelettes for breakfast made with 2 eggs and filled with either cheese or bacon for example. Is it ok to be eating this many eggs? My body seems to be only able to tolerant porridge or granola on some days - sometimes my levels will...

Thank you! The only time I eat a carb filled meal is at breakfast, at lunch it's always salad and dinner meat and vegetables - I am the same and don't even enjoy carbs anymore! So it frustrates me when I want an omelette but my levels don't seem to agree..I still do some trial and error to get...

Thank you - I can have porridge or granola with about 4/5 units or insulin and be around 7-8mmol at lunchtime but ill perhaps try an omelette with 1/2 units - how often should I check my levels to see if that's the right amount?

I'm having the same problem - I've tried having omelettes or scrambled egg but my levels still creep up - is it because I still need to give a few units or is it because I eat at 6:45-7 and not again til about 12:50

Hi I have T1 and am on a contraceptive injection which you have every 3 months, it doesn't mess with my insulin :)

I catch an illness ridiculously fast and I can't feel warmth very well, I'm always wearing my coat in school because I'm so cold. However before I was diagnosed with T1 I was diagnosed with hives and then later with under active thyroid so my immune system is pretty lame haha

Thanks both - I had been struggling with getting my levels right as before lunchtime they'd always be high - injected earlier today at 6:30 and eat 10 mins after and blood sugar at 10:45 was 6.3 so I'm happy!
