Definitely don't fancy a late night as I'm working at half 7 in the morning. If I do it tomorrow I'll need to skip a meal won't i? Am working a 13 hours shift so don't really fancy running on empty but also fed up of my levels being too high. 10.3 on last check :/ Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thanks mo, I thought as much. Should I do it tonight? Had food and insulin at 8pm so would start testing at 12 I guess? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Despite being at this for 6 months I still like to double check everything so sorry for the simple question! My sugars have been generally a little high for the past 5 days or so. Averaging a between 7.5 and 9 before meals and 8 and 11.5 2 hours after. Am I right to assume that I should...

Thanks for the help on this. I now inject a full unit for an actimel each morning. Which means I inject for it as if it's 8g carbs instead of the 3.3 it is!! Oh well, massive improvement in my gums already so it's worth it :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Bruise has started to come out today. It's still a late lump but it's not protruding anymore. Injected in my stomach again today and same thing happened, little blood and then lump but just the size of a pea. Bruising already and really sore. My stomach is clearly off limits for injecting. I...

Hi Alan, definitely won't be injecting there again. It always hurts in my stomach but don't usually get a lump like this :( Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi Conrad, I stuck it in all the way like I usually do. Only got 4mm needles and I pinch the skin up too! I've had one before but only small like the size of a pea. It doesn't feel like it's gone down but it's not really that visible anymore so it must have. It was about 4 hours ago now. I...

I injected insulin earlier in my stomach and as I pulled the needle out a squirt of blood came out and it instantly swelled to the size of maybe a ping pong ball. It was very easy to see, protruding out of my stomach. Now it's really sore especially when I bend. Just wondering if I need to be...

Oh what the hell, ignore my last reply, 3 hours is not that far. And my new goal is to get out of my comfort zone and do things I wouldn't usually do ... So I'm in. Will just have to make sure I can get the day off work, which I'll sort out later and I'm in. Can I bring my partner as I don't...

Oooh that would be great but that's about 3 hours away from me so a bit far :( Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I have noticed. You think it makes sense and then the tiniest change throws it all out of whack again! Thanks for your help :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thank you :) I'm enjoying it so much more than I thought I would. Haven't had much sun except when I'm work so haven't been on a proper ride yet but have been using it briefly in evenings and such. I'm glad I'm not the only klutz although to haven't fallen off yet (been close a few times and I'm...

I didn't really think of doing it. I just assumed that a ratio is a ratio and should always work. Clearly too simple. Thank you, I will give it a go in the morning and hope it works :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I wasn't aware that we had personal weird phenomenons lol. Hmm so even though it's 3.3g should I maybe count for it as if it's say 8g? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

How do I do that? I bolus for everything the same way just by using my ratios Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

But it's only 3.3g :( I've tried it 3 times now and I my bg levels go up by about 4 every time at 2 hours and even at 4 hours they only come down by 1 ... Was 5.3 this morning. 2 hours after breakfast I was 9.8 and before lunch I was 7.9 Is there any way to resolve this? Sent from the...
