    Low GI..... how slow are we talking?!

    I find a 65g bowl of porridge to digest at roughly the same speed my Humalog works, but then I've a few carbs from wholemeal bread sloshing around at the same time, some days I need a 2 fingered Kit Kat mid morning for the tail if I'm working hard, brown rice works for me too although can need a...

    2019/20 Football season

    3pm York City vs Altrincham, conference north play off semi final, if we lose it'll be the last game played there and with no fans although there'll be a few hundred sharing an inch gap in one of the gates on the street outside :p And meanwhile we've got harrogate flipping town (the big boys...

    Worried mum

    I'd say to take her to the local hospital right now as in a 20 year old those are Type 1 symptoms unfortunately and if so need insulin to treat them. Good luck to her.

    Aye good morning, 6.8 waking and the standard bowl of porridge to come shortly when I've drunk my coffee, my gym opens today but I think I'll wait till Monday before checking it out as I'm busy laying an lvp floor in the bathroom and reckon I'll just swim for the first week back. I'm a little...

    80kg 14u Tresiba, moderate complex carb diet, on Lantus I used 22u, Humalog between 16u and 20u depending what I eat. The Tresiba will drop to 13u when I get back in the gym and the pool...

    No, just tomato xDrip (not xDrip+) and Spike but for the latter you need to purchase an Apple developer account.

    Morning, I bet there's some hangovers in your city this morning :p Odd, I was at 4.9 waking and dropped to 4.1 in 10 minutes from getting out of bed, like foot on the floor but the other way round so I Dextrosed it back up again :banghead: (or I'm sat at 4.1 with a +0.0 rise which is better...

    If you 'do' Facebook have a look on here https://www.facebook.com/groups/853994615056838/ at the xDrip group and the 'app', it's a decent tool and 'do-able' if you can follow onscreen instructions to set it up, it's more functional if you set up a 'nightscout' account but that's a little more...

    Good afternoon :) @hh1 :p no, when the bathroom's done it's back to the living room/back room which is 'on hold', the bathroom refurb jumped up the job list as the shower packed up, it was supposed to be a temporary fix up that when I saw the issues became more involved :banghead: so I thought...

    Abbott encryption (so Miao Miao May stop working?)

    I'd argue that's incorrect :) or I'm happily using an iPhone & Miaomiao and the xDrip iOS software, the issue will be the Libre 2 although the Android guys have cracked that to show the 5 minute updates, the xDrip guys have only been able to read it with the Miaomiao and the latest software...

    Good morning, 4.6 waking and 3 walls to grout, I had a sleep in this morning as I was tired at 7 but the smell of porridge woke me at 9 :p I've had a month off from all exercise and I guess I better start looking at getting back on with that, my gym will be reopening soon so I better get a plan...

    Libre and Miao Miao

    An Apple watch will require an Apple phone and the available software options are limited, off the top of my head I can think of 3 'Apps', tomato (as mentioned and I didn't think much about it other than the ease of setup, a shame tomato updates the Miaomiao firmware but it's possible to undo...

    Good morning, 6.1 waking but flat at 8.3 most of the night :/ (naughty munchies :p ) A mate came round so we watched football and had a jam on the guitars, which was a little painful as our chord changes were a week apart :p but it was a giggle so who cares :) (tone deaf Kev :p) It's my middle...

    Has anyone had to alter their basal rates/profile during lockdown?

    I've kept the same basal rate but am using less fast acting and eating 60g carbs a day less too.

    Type 1 High Blood Sugars In Mornings any advice?

    At just before 6pm you're reading just under 6mmol before spiking to 18, have you eaten to cause the first spike and has a fast acting jab dropped it back to 6mmol at around 1am before it rising again? just if so look at the food you've eaten/insulin injected for it as if that was my meter it...
