When I had covid I had to take 50 units of Lantus and normally take 20 units. Novarapid amounts roughly doubled and I was barely eating. Caught covid in December and around march things had slowly improved.

TE="Berrill159, post: 2386966, member: 456428"]I have been diagnosed for about two years and have done pretty much everything my doctors have said. I have lost 48 kilos though I dont exercise too much only taking the dog for a walk. My question is no matter what I do whether i am extra good or...

I take split doses of Lantus which helps with reducing the spikes so much and take 3 or 4 doses of Novarapid a day which may include 1 or 2 correction doses. Don't find Lantus that good. Seems to peak at around 6-7 hours which isn't what a long acting insulin is supposed to do and only last for...

It's very busy everywhere. People don't social distance so I can it being very daunting for the sheilders. I have worked throughout the pandemic. 1st lockdown roads were quiet and everywhere felt more safe. Apart from pubs and holidays everything is back to normal. Guess baby steps is the way...

I'm type 1. Well I love my carbs and I need lots of energy for my active job. I'm guessing u will initially have less energy until u get used to a new diet. Definitely inspired by keto. I will start by cutting back on carbs the days I'm off from work.

I've read everywhere on this site about people going keto or low carb. Seems to work for them and sounds like a good idea. Just don't think I could do it. Rather just learn how to cope with dealing with carbohydrates rather than going without.

Yes in the summer time or when I go abroad I have to take less insulin and still experience more hypos. I have always been very sensitive to insulin anyway

Cider makes my blood sugars sky high but beer is fine. I can drink most alcohol and have several drinks with no problems. Guess I'm lucky in that respect. Just I have to be really careful what I eat as then my blood sugars quickly climb up.
