What happens when you take less Insulin than your current ratio?

I do remember reading a study (unfortunately can't remember the details about it) that posited there was an unexamined relationship between Diabetes and Psychological issues, which could partly be caused by Blood Sugar instability itself, and partly caused by the sheer volume of decisions a...

I experienced a similar issue with Tresiba when I was using it, and I found it was because I actually had my Tresiba dose a little on the high side (like less than 10% too high). It might be worth discussing with your Doctor if they believe it would be worth trialing a reduction in dose?

I've had similar experiences to what you (and others in this thread have decscribed). The problems first appeared when I was on Levimir. I'd had good control with Levimir for about ten years, when suddenly in the morning I had relentless highs. I was frequently shooting into the 20s...

Well the journal's editorial board is curious to say the least. Its Editor in Chief has a PHD in... Linguistics? Its Senior Editor works at the University of British Colombia in... Ophthalmology? I'm not sure what business either of them have running a journal about Vaccines. The Journal...

What fact checkers/peer review do you consider legitimate? There are plenty of different publications which have taken issue with their claims. Here's just a quick account of things I found entirely by myself. Seneff is an MIT in Comupter Science, I'm not sure how that gives her any right to...

Well, we can't help but go off topic if I continue down this blind alley you're leading me down. If Jim can specify the source he's referring to, we could discuss the matter very specifically with likelihood of staying on topic being much higher.

There's a lot of misleading information out there that makes wild claims* similar to the ones you're making, citing VAERS and the Yellow Card System. This has been disproven by doctors and fact checkers. The statistics your citing are probably in this bucket, but if you'd be willing to provide...

I did similar to improve things. The other thing that worked for me was delaying breakfast for a bit after waking, as I always found the hour after waking to be the worst (in terms of needing lots of insulin).

Disappointing outcome, to be sure, and not something that should happen but, pragmatically, you'll probably be better off working with organisation that has a better relationship with their volunteers.

Point 2- I borrowed this primarily from Steven Ponder. A drop of 0.3 shows the Inuslin is active. Whilst yes the Insulin SHOULD become active at 10 minutes (though I’d say 15 would be more accurate and was what I was taught on my course), there are quite a few circumstances where that won’t...

It's actually not recommended that you do a Basal Test over 24 hours actually. I know some people do that, but there's a risk that doing it for 24 hour would provoke responses from your body that are only there because of the extreme length of the Basal Test itself.

One thing I just want to note about this thread, if your Libre is really inaccurate (I think Abbott defines this as 20% higher or lower than a Blood Test frequently) then you can tell Abbott and they will replace your faulty sensor. This topic comes up a lot, and I feel like a lot of people...

6pm as it's improved my overnight readings. If I go to bed early, with a late dinner in my system, my readings can through the roof. I don't have a cutoff time for corrections. I just follow my usual policy of trying to correct as early as is safe to do so* (as the earlier I catch it, the...

What you described happened to me almost exactly 12 months ago. In my case, I relayed that I was almost out of needles and they offered me alternative needles from a different manufacturer until my usual needles came back in stock.

Given a number of things you've my best guess is getting the latest Aero meter. I have it, and it has the upload functionality you require. Given you have an old Aero meter, I imagine the adjustment to the new one will be fairly minimal. Uploading to a site called Diasend is probably your best...

Thanks that’s really helpful.

So how did you find the sweet spot?

Ah, I'd avoided activity after correcting to avoid "overdoing it". So you find you get good results from coupling the correction with activity?

Since switching to the pump recently, I've found an issue with Fiasp which was present when I was injecting it - but was quite easy to deal with - is now causing me major issues. So when my blood sugar goes above 10 my sensitivity to Insulin drops significantly. The higher it gets the less...
