There is definitely something in the low carb thing! I have been averaging 80g carbs and 1000 calories for last 7 days. Mild Ketosis but steady numbers..

So.. I have had no insulin since thurs am. Last lantus was wed night. Can anyone explain this to help me understand. Honeymooning?

@Circuspony that is very helpful thank you - and makes me feel like I'm not mad! I am getting the wife to help me with comparative blood tests! We went out to lunch and I didn't do insulin and had a low carb chicken salad. I was 5.6 before eating and wife was same, when we got home an hour...

Neither.. 5’8 and 75kg. Just trying to tone up for summer holiday :)

I guess I am trying to prove something.. this is a bit of an experiment, so is I do have an investigative mindset. Not sure what I’m trying to achieve.. As to numbers before this weeks diet change I was on lantus 19 units and IC ratio of 1:20.

So last nights fasting... I have had no insulin for 24 hours now.

This week I haven’t taken any insulin before training and am also 6-7 hours after my lunchtime dose, so expect that is long gone.. I’m dropping low after exercise when fingerprick reads 19mmol starting exercise (and reduced lantus)

So, I have taken a little time away from the forum. Was in a bit of a dark place and reading everybody elses woes seemed to compound where I was at. Anyway.. long story short, I have had a turn around and now am facing T1D. This week I started a low carb, low calorie diet to lose weight for...

Luton CCG only fund children for omnipod. My daughter moved to it a month ago. I asked my DSN and consultant - adults dont get funding. Not related.. but they also only fund Libre for pregnant women! Not like any of these tools would make life easier for us... /paid my NI all my life!!! (rant)

Far be it from me to give advice as I’ve been in my own dark place wobble for a couple of weeks.. but how about asking for help on the forum..? I did and was able to vent (even have a cry whilst posting!) and the positive responses lifted me so I could reevaluate where I was. Talking here...

I’m on 17 lantus in the evening, have been tweaking it up and down since I started trying to find the right level for me. Having my pancreas butt in every now and then doesn’t help. But agree.. my body I’ll do what I think is right (even if it’s wrong - and I have been wrong a few times lately).

I don’t agree.. this is a life changing diagnosis and to me it qualifies as something that needs supporting! Not just something you have to deal with. Don’t believe me, just take a read through the posts in this area of the forum....

So I've been reading through this part of the forum and also looking at my own previous posts. Its apparent that those of us newly diagnosed go through some dark places (being overwhelmed, denial, despair, depression). I am a bit shocked at the level of support given when diagnosed. I had an...

+1 to that.. I think it would be easier to manage if I had full control. This honeymoon/inconsistency is what gets me. I am no longer in control.. it’s a roll of the dice!

Thank you.. and bizarrely I feel better today.. upped my lantus by a couple of clicks. Woke up around the 5.1 mark. Decided that today is a positive, time to get my outstanding emails and reports done. Bit of carb counting and bolusing correctly. Not going to get obsessed with it as before. I...

I don’t actually know.. I’ve kinda given in, a few weeks of travelling and my control has gone out of the window. I was tight and staying in range mostly with all the associated lows, lost awareness tho. Now running mostly above 9/10.. bolusing occasionally, on the libre and not really finger...

Thank you all for the responses, this forum is amazing and I appreciate the time taken by all. I feel like I can talk here. Got a 13 hour flight and will be home. Maybe time to let the monster out of the bag and let the wife know I’m not actually coping. Again, thank you for just listening.

She manages my daughter fine when I’m not at home.. it’s just me, feel like I’m doing this alone.

Maybe I just needed to vent, been away from home for 2 weeks in Asia...

She is 8, I do everything at home.
