I don’t know Tresiba but I am on Lantus which is a one shot Basal insulin so this may be relevant. While Lantus gives a stable baseline my care team said there is a small drop off in the last 3 hours or so before the 24 hours are up and because of this I switched from injecting at night to...

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s no wonder you fell off the wagon. There’s some great suggestions here and it’s all about what works for you. For me, I’m a tech head so I’m all about facts and figures. I got a copy of carbs & Cals (other carb counting apps are available ;) ) and it becomes a...

And what a difference a day makes. Really good nights sleep and now I’m a perfectly respectable 4.9

Had a terrible night last night, woke up at 6.6. :( Took till this evening to get back into the 5s.

I know! Whoda thunk it? Eating healthy and exercising can actually make you healthier! ;)

We're all different aren't we? I live on cauliflower. Air fried cauliflower, mushrooms, and a bit of houmous for dipping are my "go to" lunch meal. 27g of carbs and my numbers stay steady or drop slightly by dinner.

A nice 5.3 for me this morning. Diet is going well and helping the glucose levels (to think I was on 6 bolas with each meal plus 24 basal and 2 x Metformin, now it's no bolas, 10 basal a day, and those same 2 metformin) with an added bonus that my resting heart rate that was in the high 70's...

Things that affect glucose levels are sort of like the Spanish inquisition sketch... "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are...

Some people go full on keto but I'm like just keep them around 80 - 95g a day. Seems to work well at keeping me in the 5s.

I was going to have the same question, why go lower? I was v. high and managed to get down to 31, then my clinical team changed my regime as they were worried about night time hypos with numbers that low and wanted me to sit in the 40s.

I've had this happen a couple of times and as Diabell said, my assumption is that I hit a spot where I've injected recently as this can be a problem. I've also had it twice where the insulin just oozed back out of the skin and wouldn't absorb, even after waiting the usual time (and I always...

I used the best fix for the holiday blues. I booked another Staycation cruise for September! :)

Don't, that sounds nom! :) A nice 5.1 for me this morning.

Morning! Just did a quick check after the cruise and I've still lost 0.5 kg. :) And feeling a touch emotional right now, accidentally picked up my partners jean without noticing, they are a size 18. They fit... I've not been in size 18s in close to 20 years!

A nice 5.2 this morning. I'd say I think I've got this whole diabetes thing sorted but you know the second I think that it'll throw a curve ball...

Hey all! So back home and thought you might like an update. The MDR (Main Dining Room) did their best but while the food was low in carbs it wasn't exactly inspiring. I can't blame them as they had hundreds of people to feed. So we quickly decided to eat in the signature dining restaurant...

So been trying to work out how to handle high carbs as I’m on a Disney cruise (actually right now! :) ) and got a couple of coping mechanisms in place. Sat in the restaurant as we speak and got a sinking feeling as they said they couldn’t give me specific carb numbers (so time to do...

6.2 this morning. Had to eat in the move last night, a low carb burrito (made with a low car tortilla), but I guess it still jumped my up a bit. Lowering breakfast carbs to compensate.

Yeah, you'd think the food providers would liaise with your care team to provide something that's safe but when I was in they kept trying to give me deserts. We're not talking NAS deserts mind (which I enjoy on occasion), but stuff like spotted **** & custard. My weight loss regime started...

Pitta bread and only 6.6 Impressive... :)
