Hello I have noticed since changing to basal bolus that my BG rises slightly during exercise - I am generally around 5/6 when I start and after 1 1/2 hours in the gym mixture of cardio and weights I am around 7/8. I do not need to take on any more carbs while I am working out. This wasn't...

Glad to be of help! It is REALLY IMPORTANT though that you speak to your nurse about the problems you're having as they are the experts. I would guess that they need to change your insulin dose. When is your next appointment booked?

I inject with every meal and then at bedtime. I have thought - for snacks, you could try ham, or chicken (without breadcrumbs is better) or cheese if fruit is a bit too boring - those foods all have lots of protein but not much carbohydrate, so they won't mess you up like chocolate. Good...

I would guess the chocolate bars probably threw things out;)! Could you try fruit instead? I know it's boring but it would work better! Or your quavers seemed to be OK - you weren't high at lunch. Chocolate really is the worst thing for your blood sugar. It can be really difficult to get...

I think diabetes was portrayed in the most positive possible light - which I agree might not quite be reality. On the other hand, being diabetic is not as bad as I had feared when the doctor told me (over the phone!!!). I started reading about the topic and all the injections and tests sounded...

Hi How are you feeling about being diabetic? I was diagnosed type 1 in August and I can't imagine how it must be for teenagers to have it. I am 28, but I work with teenagers all day long so I know a bit about how things are for you:D. Obviously you do need to sort out the smoking and...

Hello all Is anyone else out there fed up and frustrated by all the conflicting information about what to eat as a diabetic? One minute I'm reading something which tells me to eat lots of carbs and the next it's no carbs! Problem is, there's a good rationale for every theory. I'm getting...
