The decision was made together with my consultant and tell you the truth i feel a lot better. I guess pumping is not suitable for all type 1's. I am doing quite well now but i miss the micro dosing of the pump. The Echo is able to do dosing per 0.5.

I have the Glucagon inject (hypo kit) but thankfully never had to use it. In the absence of glucose tablet etc. a simple tin of coca cola will do the trick. It has a whopping 8 or 9 sugar cubes of sugar in a can. As it is liquid it will get absorbed very fast.

I was on Lantus when it first was introduced. And after a few month the pain in my legs was crippling. And many other users experienced the same. I moved to Levemir and all the pain disappeared. If your care team agrees ask them if you can try Levemir or something similar.

Novo Nordisk refers to this pen on their website that it is for kids.

I have been a diabetic for decades and we have all been there in one form or another. My daugther is type 1 too and i am powerless to see (she is 32) that she does everything to stay slim which means skipping insulin injections, throwing up when she is out with friends and over eat. And all this...

Same here Satindoll, but these gadgets are handy to remind us;)

There is a professional cycling team consisting of cyclist all suffering from type 1 diabetes. As the tours they cycling are long and hard they have proven that diabetes dont have to be an obstacle. Maybe you can contact them to ask advice on endurance during a tour and the training and how they...

My daugther is a type 1 too. It is genes related and test can determine whether the kid have the gene that can be a trigger to becoming type 1. And for the intimate part is a road you need to go together. No-one guarantees health when you say i do but it is 'in sickness and in health'. I find...

I get symptoms when i go under 4. I start to get cold sweat that start in my neck also i start yawning. But each diabetic is different so will experience different symptoms at different blood sugar levels. The important thing is that you recognize them and then act to prevent passing out.

as long as i go i don't care what color...lol

Hi, I have been working in the aviation business for a long time and it is country/airline related. It depends on the laws regarding diabetes pilots. You need solid proof that you are well controlled and can stand the time zone crossing. But if you can proof that together with your care team go...

No idea, my consultant and I have been scratching our heads as i was always well controlled. The latest theory is i might be now i get older that just novorapid isnt going to do the trick anymore but need something like a levemir to keep me going. I feel better too now I am on injections.

Well not less but more and more difficult to get out and painful too;)

Do you still use it?

Yes i couldn't detect another pen other then the Echo

Dear Levy, Why did you return to injections? Myself all of a sudden spiralled out of control for no reason. Went back to pens and it was back to normal within no time.

Hello everyone, Since going on low carb (not going over 50 grams a day) I have solved my insulin issue and now well controlled again but it meant going low carb also coming off the pump and returning back to injections. But since going low carb i am plagued by constipation (sorry folks). I eat...

I love them as well and i eat them. Not by the bucket loads but i love them with a cube of cheese as a snack. And every day i don't exceed 50 grams of carb. And eating them hasn't affected my blood sugar so far. I must mention tho' i am a type 1 but well controlled.

Hi everyone, I recently went back from pump to injection and i am doing a lot better. I am using the normal flexpen but i cant micro dose with it, You have to inject a whole unit. I suppose i was spoiled with the pump which can micro dose with 0,1 unit. At this moment i am using the app MySugr...
