    I'm not sure I count running as "fun", but I do feel better for having done it, and if I've done nothing (run, cycle, walk) I get twitchy. Related to this was my fitness level after our last holiday. Cycling 50+ miles/day for two weeks with a full camping load definitely made me fitter, but it...

    You're not going to get a conclusion any time soon. The messaging has been consistent : "Wait, but there is no further information". You will get nothing more than that. You can either carry on waiting, or come to the realisation that this is going nowhere. I suggest the latter. If you need...

    How about "Don't wait for this, but if you have questions about low carbing to help with T1D, ask away in the main threads - there's the full spectrum of opinion from people who won't do it to people who strongly recommend it, and advice will come forth."?

    Lantus. When is best to split this insulin?

    I'm not entirely surprised that 18u at 5:30 is good for you overnight, so well done for trying it. You will probably need more bolus during the day now - rather than your food being dealt with by the excess of lantus, you'll need to give some quick acting to take care of it. As usual, can't...

    Question about BG Levels

    Re exceeding 9 - depends on how long you exceed it for. Personally I'd not worry about 9s, and instead think about maybe 12 and higher - want to get rid of those, and even then, hitting 12 or even rather higher and coming down quickly won't be a big deal. There's a difference between what to...

    Lantus. When is best to split this insulin?

    Talk to your docs, explain your hypo anxiety, get them to prescribe a libre. Reader or phone in pocket = instant test, you can watch your sugars going up or down and correct before you go hypo. Test every 10 minutes if you want! The next stage is a miaomiao, which transmits the libre signals to...

    Mel's already answered, but the obvious question is why would one want to patent it? Patents are there to allow people to share technology while retaining commercial advantage. In the case of all this free tech going around the diabetes world (ie the unofficial stuff like xdrip, loop etc, not...

    Indeed - easy to remember and gives people a bit of protection if eg they're just using fingerpricks and can't see trends.

    How do you deal with misinformation?

    That one's scary because it's likely to be exactly the wrong thing to do, with a high chance of being lethally so.

    Does that "you'll really notice it" also apply to Novorapid?

    I'm sure you would - so we are assured that the communication channel from HO to here is working, even though nothing is being said. But what was their reaction when you said "people are asking questions"? Or did you just state that and not press for an answer? I'm not worked up, I'm just...

    Type 1 Program

    Presumably you've been feeding back to HO that people are asking about this program, and are wondering what the status is? Are they saying anything more to you than "it's happening, just hold on"? Are any of them prepared to say something directly? In the absence of any communication apart from...

    I'll just add another quote from that same page : "Dr Richard Bernstein and Type1Grit are among the inspirations behind the program, as well as feedback from over 40,000 members of the Low Carb Program who have type 1 diabetes." If it ever happens, it's pretty obvious this program will be...

    If the problem is that you or DCUKmod don't know what's going on, it might be good to get somebody who does know what's going on to comment. Otherwise it might be a good idea especially given the time it's taken to have a rethink about the communications regarding it - complete secrecy is...

    Today's walk was a bit sticky - much nicer when a bit of wind appeared, and the couple of drops of rain (no more), were ever so slightly refreshing. Normally I have chocolate-related things as my food on the go for walks, today it was time for the summer replacement, currently buttermintoes.

    Back from hols, and have now caught up on 2 weeks of this thread. I think that was about 900 messages... Cycling round southern Scotland and northern England - tandem, camping, all up weight of bike + kit 60kg, and we did 840 miles. Quite chuffed. Record BSL of 26.something according to the...

    Is my basal correct?

    Although the novopen echo is strictly only for the 3ml novo nordisk cartridges with the little plastic screw bit on the end, the Lantus 3ml cartridges appear to have identical dimensions, and I know the little plastic screwy bit can be pulled off an old novo cartridge and put on a Lantus one. I...
