Thanks for always replying so promptly! :) Yes I do check them against my meter because my libre does run a bit lower than my actual levels so always check. My libre says I hypo about 6 times a day, in reality it’s more like 2 when I’ve checked against my BG meter.

I was diagnosed type 1 in June and started on 12U in the morning and 12U at night, with 6U of novorapid with each meal. This has gradually decreased. I’ve been low carb eating now for 11 days (against the advice of my DN) I haven’t taken any rapid insulin with food in 10 days and use 3U morning...

I was diagnosed 3 months ago as type 1 and no tests were done either, this made my denial of diabetes even worse. Coupled with the fact I’m in my honeymoon and no longer take any insulin with food and 4U in morning 3U in night Of basal and still have hypos. I have a libre and my levels never go...

Do you mind me asking how old you are? I’m 26 and had lost a significant amount of weight in the 6 months leading up to the DKA. I’ve pretty much come to accept that I’m type 1 now, but probably deep down there is still that doubt.

Thank you very much! Love how quick you guys reply, very interesting learning about it all.

Thank you so much! Didn’t know they did half init pens!

thank you will email my nurse tomorrow about doing a basal test. Yes snack quite a lot at night, il inject 1 unit at 6 o'clock for dinner. Then eat snacks up until about 1am. I have a libre now and can see that I go very low at night and it comes back up without waking is that normal?

Hello, another question before I see my medical team at the end of next week. Diagnosed Type 1 in June and very likely In my honeymoon period. My levels are always between 4-6 during the day and 5-7 during the evening. My DN has emailed to say these levels are bit lower than what they would...

Hello, Thanks for your replies! I’ve seen people writing about C-peptide and antibody tests. I don’t know what either of those are and so I’m unaware if I had any of those tests. I’m sure everyone feels this way at first, just the doctor as my surgery questioned why I had been diagnosed type 1...

Hello, I was diagnosed type 1 after going into DKA a month ago. My question is, does anyone get misdiagnosed type 1 and that’s not what they have? I’m taking very little insulin now, which I know is due to the honeymoon period. I know it’s probably wishful thinking, but are there any cases...
