I had some thai food - a red curry and steamed rice. It could be a fluke! I don't drink too often, so it's my first time checking out the results of red wine! I'm on humalog and lantus - type 1. From experience, I know that I can drink gin and slimline tonic and it's keeps a nice steady line...

A new element to add to this thread... This morning I had to run my husband to the airport before 5am. To try to counteract the above issues, I had a little bit of insulin (2u humalog). Cut to 3 hours later and my sugars have risen from 6.4 to 15.4! Has anyone got any tips for this type of...

Hi there, I have recently started using a Libre cgm and had a couple of red wines with dinner on Friday night. I have never really seen a jump in my sugars with red wine, but the Libre gave some interesting readings overnight. I went to bed with sugars of about 5.8, within an hour of going to...

Vision is just a scary thing isn't it! My optician's appointment is next wednesday and he is an ex-eye surgeon who does a very thorough exam, so if there is something there I hop that he can pick it up.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I can move it if needs be. For the past three days I have been experiencing a spot in the vision of my left eye, it only appears in certain light conditions (in my bright white bathroom, in dim-ish office corridors) and having done a...

I have ordered some chia seeds, so will give this a try! I think that pre-bolusing and eating before leaving the house has had a really good effect on my levels overall. Though I'm struggling a bit with night time hypos, so really need to find some time to basal test this week (it's a bit of a...

I'm definitely going to take a look at that book and see if this can help me gain back control. I think that I'm definitely going to push for a change to levemir at my next annual review. I don't have a set schedule, so feel like it might give me some flexibility for gym days etc. I tried the...

Yes after it topped out at 10.4 it dropped back steadily into target. I didn't really experience any DP last night (I normally don't after exercise as it does increase my insulin sensitivity (I need to bolus a lot less). I aim to be in the gym/run around 3 times per week, but as you say this...

Thanks all for your helpful tips yesterday. I didn't manage to basal test last night as I hit the gym after work and that tends to decrease my insulin requirements - so it wouldn't have been a "normal" night. A little update in case it might be helpful for someone else. This morning I got up...

Yes this was before I got my CGM.

I do try to pre-bolus and find it effective at other times of day. However, pre-bolusing is somewhat of a new thing to me. When first introduced to Humalog I was told that I could take it directly before meals (maybe even directly after) and it should work. It's only upon doing my own recent...

Hi all thanks for your input! I'm on an MDI routine - humalog bolus/lantus basal injected at bedtime. I have recently increased my lantus dose from 38u to 42u after gaining about 0.5stone (though I am exercising and eating healthily to try to correct this). I had tried a higher dose of 44u but...

Hi all, I'm new to posting the forum, but have found it to be a very useful resource in the past. I'd love to know if anyone else has experienced morning insulin resistance. Over the past few months I have noticed that my sugars have been climbing quite high post breakfast. I do suffer from...
