    Insulin amount

    Thanks for that. I'm going to start writing all my blood sugars down. After breakfast I will eat no carb until 4 hrs up. If the sugars are not in range do I increase morning dose?

    Increasing BG- misdiagnosis of type and treatment?

    I was undiagnosed for 6 months, lost 4 stone. Fatigued couldn't get out of bed and felt sick eating. Just a walking wreck as sugars were always over 20. Was T2 before and they kept on adding tablets. I realise now how serious that could have been. That's the second time doctors haven't listened...

    Weight Stalling

    Does this mean if you want to lose weight you keep the carbs to a minimum daily? How much carbs should you stick to a day?

    In denial

    I really don't want a life injecting. Even thinking they have diagnosed me wrong! This is all down to having steroids for 25 years for my asthma. Now the hair is thinning. Ended up with no hair 2006. Brain tumour. Now type 1. I just can't get a break from fighting for my health. I'm worn out and...
