@ariaxo I always use jelly babies. 3 jelly babies = 15g carb. Eat them, wait 15 mins, retest and repeat if necessary

I was going to mark your post as optimistic but thought I would type a reply instead! (and I wont get told off :)) Fingers crossed something may come out of it BUT I have seen, literally, countless amounts of thes things posted in various diabetic magazines and papers and now on 'tinternet

When I first started injecting I had to use the glass and metal syringes with what looked like darning needles attached. We had to pinch the skin on injecting. The arms were never an option then as you couldnt pinch and inject at the same time :)

49 years type1 and have never done a jab in my arms. My basal used to go into my stomach and bolus into the tops of my legs

Could it may that maybe your bolus ratio is out for your evening meal?

@DunePlodder congrats. What is your line like during the day?

My motto - "Oh the joys of T1D" Which is of no help whatsoever to you. You mentioned that you take 3-4 units of NovoRapid and nothing happens. Does your graph show a movement at around the 3-4 hour mark after you 3-4 units?

I have been hypo unaware for a few years now. Not good at all. Tghanks to Libre and Miaomiao I can set alarms to sound when going low. My DSN has asked me to be running my sugars at around 8mmol/L which I have been doing for the past 10-12 months. Still do not feel a hypo until the high 2s...

I do find that any rice no matter what the colour effects me after 3 - 4 hours. Luckily I am on a pump and can spread my bolus out over a few hours. Was you eating similar things before the spikes started happening?

Sending a cwtch from myself and a hug from KimPossible x

What are you eating for your evening meals at around 8pm?

You will be going to the gym for a rest Kev :hilarious: AND good morning all

Usually a Lo reading on most machines are below 1.3 mmol/L

Used to be a recreational user a while ago. Never really noticed any difference in BGs or insulin sensitivity to be honest. Can honestly say I never really suffered wit the munchies either

The taxes we pay in comparison to the very costly prices of insulin, test strips, pump supplies etc are very minimal

Unless you live in Wales :) Cymru am byth
