Here's that other thread I was thinking of: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/weights-vs-carbs.79977/ lots of interesting reading. @tim2000s - the point you raise there about injected insulin going more to the muscles than the liver compared to natural is really interesting. Can you point...

My sympathies. If it's any consolation, I've found it far quicker to regain strength and muscle than it was to gain it the first time round, even after long gaps, and I've heard many others say the same. As you were probably running low on insulin for a while before diagnosis it could have been...

Thanks both, and good tip about applying it with the elbow bent.

I've just finished with my first Freestyle Libre sensor, which has been a real eye-opener. It already seems a little unsettling going back to only finger prick tests for a day- like trying to guess which way something is moving with an infrequent strobe light vs leaving the light on! However, I...

Hi all, I've recently started on the Freestyle Libre, and am trying to develop a better understanding of my patterns. So I'd like to have a quick and easy way of recording my insulin times and doses, food and exercise to go along with the glucose tracking. I briefly tried MySugr, but didn't...

Hello people. I'm a type 1 for about 18 years now, living in the UK. Over that time my control has mostly been what I considered fairly good, but I've recently taken a keener interest in getting it better. I don't spend much time with my medical team - probably under an hour total most years...
