Hi I'm type 1 on a pump using Humalog insulin. When not on the pump I use Lantus as back up. After a recent nightmare in hospital I wonder if anyone else has ever had issues whether on a pump or not with insulin and heat. To cut a long story very short, one night while in hospital my pump...

I agree with most of the advice on here. If you are willing then try fasting tests. These will help you work out the right rates for you. Start with the overnight one This is how my Diabetes nurse told me to do the overnight test. "Eat your dinner no later than 6PM. Test your bloods at ten...

What I discovered is that it takes my body a few days to adjust to a new time zone. I kept everything the same for the first few days as per instructions from my diabetes team. Well until I stopped waking up at 3 AM starving lol. I guess you have to think about it in these terms; although you...

38 years for me in April. Well done for keeping the demon at arms length.

Hi well done on persevering. If it's working for you it's working for you. You don't say whether this is with your diabetes specialist team under the hospital or with your GP practice. Either way you don't have to put up with this kind of care, you can switch GP and or specialists. You don't...

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this and if they have I apologise ( I have poor eyesight ). With bloods that high your problem may not be food at all, it may be thirst. Feeling hungry and feeling thirsty can feel the same as each other. Try drinking a little more. I used to have your...

Well rapid Ds are sometimes recommended if you may be allergic to the plastic cannulas. They are more solid than the softer plastic cannulas. If you're not allergic then using the softer Flexlink or Tenderlink may help here. As you're not actually using insulin at the moment it's difficult to...

Hi Just wanted to mention this as I had this discussion with my health care nurses today. I recognise that my health care team is very different from other peoples experiences of theirs, in that mine advocate low carbing as a way of reducing blood sugar levels and weight. I had an...

Are you using the rapid Ds? As these are the metal cannulas and may be adding to make it a little uncomfortable

So basically it's just a sugar tab. Wow. I don't understand why he's said I have to take them. Thanks for the info

Hi Kate, I couldn't find any in the chemists. They only stock the cream even tho both Lloyd's and Boots say they stock the tablets. I had to buy them at Holland and Barrett, they only came in two strengths. 6c and 30c. I didn't realise they were sugared until I read the leaflet. I will go back...

Thanks. I don't have a deep fat fryer so I might have a crack at doing it in a pan.

Hi I'm about to have invasive surgery and my surgeon has prescribed Arnica pre op and post op. I've noticed that these seem to be made of sugar. Does anyone here know how many carbs they are? Or has anyone tried taking these? I've tried the manufacturer with no joy. I'm type 1 so its important...

How do you cook them? We roasted ours (plain) in the oven, they were soggy.

Me too, type 1. First time with celeriac so will check my bs in an hour.

Are you type 1?

Thanks Thommo
