Hi looking for a question to be answered, had dinner sugar at 9 before 2 hours after at 10. 3 hours after 12? Am I not having enough basal on board ? Or would this suggest more bolus at meal times ?

Ok thank you I think I will speak to the nurses, for example I have had dinner at 5.30pm. And now I would like to have 2slices of toast and eggs. Would you cover the 40g of toast with insulin? If so, do you take all the amount or do you miss a few units.

Okay thank you, I seem to be hungry after meals and I am constantly saying no to food. I lost a lot of confidence after norovirus stomach bug which happened in March, I still feel a bit skeptical[emoji58]. However onwards and upwards, sometimes it’s better advice from a diabetic than the nurses.

I feel hungry in between meals been told to have snacks under 20g of carbohydrate. However, if I have a meal at 12pm 60g carbs, and again at 3pm I’m hungry and I want to have 40g for example. how would I go about this?

So is that just like a stainless steel flask? Sorry I’m not never good first time travelling out the Uk since being diagnosed

I have re usable pens aswell. And this is my first time abroad in 5 years since being diagnosed so I was only looking for some advice , making sure I’m fully prepared and I thought it was best to come on here and get advice from other diabetics .

What is a good cool bag for travelling to Spain . Looking to take about 10 pens all together.

Can I take lavender one a day Kalms for anxiety, just came on last week in type 1. Really uneasy and nervous, feel like these would benefit me if I’m aloud to take. Thanks

How many carbs should I have a day. Breakfast lunch and dinner

Thanks for your reply, I’m going to have a look online again and try find something. Failing that I will contact the DVLA and find out. If anyone else has helpful answers I’m happy to read. Thanks again.

Thanks for your advice I will have a look online, on DVLA it does a application and you answer a few general questions. No questions about health conditions or restricted licenses. If I don’t have any luck online either, I will contact them personally. Thank you.

Can a type 1 diabetic become a driving instructor?

22 units of Levimir. 12 in morning. 10 at night.

That is true the brain works differently when low on glucose. That must be hard knowing you have to have a sugary snack or drink and your not feeling yp to it. [emoji19]

I think that is the case, I’d actually eat any food when it’s low. Feels satisfying. Lol. [emoji28][emoji28]

Strange question, hoping to get a answer. Does anyone else think food tastes better when your in a hypo?

My mum and dad, brother are all not diabetic . Does it run in generations? Or was I born with it and something has triggered it, I’ve always wanted to know lol
