Hey Donna Personally if it was me I'd wait a while longer. Typically quick acting insulin last for 4 hours so if you correct with more quick acting you have a chance of running hypo after. Hope I was of some help.

Hey can anyone suggest a low carb beer in Ireland that tastes good?? Just home for Australia where I drank a beer called pure blonde which was seriously good and didn't effect my BG levels too much?? Cheers Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Yesterday I forgot to take my Levemir which I normally take at 5pm. Obviously my blood sugar was higher than normal when I next checked it at 7pm, 10.3. Before bed was 13.5 so I thought I was maybe ill hence the high and took 2 units of nova rapid. When I woke I was 16.7 and it was then I...

Hey LittleWolf thanks for the reply. Have you gotten your tonsils out? It's tonsillitis AGAIN!! I struggle with it quite a bit, whenever I get a bit run down it escalates to tonsillitis. For some reason they never take them out but I've been told to get my endocrinologist to book me in with a...

Hey guys hope everyone is well. I've recently been suffering from a chronic sore throat, I'm now on my second dose of antibiotics for 10 days. It's really started to effect my BG levels now for a month. Up until that by BG levels were really good, never above 7 and I was feeling great but now...

Hey Aaron I play a lot of golf so maybe I could help you a bit. I was diagnosed April 2012. Despite what some people say golf definitely affects your diabetes treatment/management, is not just a stroll around!! I've found I lower my nova rapid with my meal before my round!! I also have a snack...

Bit of useful reading for anyone into sports in general especially if its cycling, also the trials and tribulations of type1. There's a book called Not Dead Yet by the amazing Phil Southerland, I would really encourage people to have a read of this. It's people like this are getting our disease...

I'm 23 years old and was diagnosed a year ago with type1!! Does anyone else out there ever go and speak about having type1? There seems to be a link between diabetes and depression because of the constant monitoring and restraints of the disease. I'm definitely not depressed but sometimes I just...

Drink away and have fun just do it in moderation....the drink that is!!! It can be tricky but testing is key. Also always remember to let your close friends know you're type 1 and what to do in case of an emergency. People can easily mistake you for getting drunk and take no notice but you may...

Great to get others insight into carbs, really get confused over the topic some time. I suppose its down to the individual really and how and what works for them. Love hearing others opinions. Myself could not live on a low carb diet or so I think anyway. Each of my breakfasts consists of 70g of...

Low carb diets can be very dangerous in my opinion!! Carbs are the body's main source of energy so I don't see why depriving your body of them is an option. I'm 23 and diagnosed type 1 just a year now. I'm fairly active and recently I was in Australia playing sport and was seeing a great...
