I wouldn't advise to eat so many carbs in one go, especially if you are new to diabetes and carb counting. Pizza is one of the most difficult foods to handle (due to high fat content). Can you half the portion? And dont give yourself whole dose straight away. Split it into 2 injection taken...

Thank you Josrpnhine. Hope you had a good one too :) I will definately try it on my thigh now and thanks for the warning regarding what side I sleep on!hope todays lunch will work out better for you

When you start bolusing for protein you will need to lower your ratio for carbs. If you take smaller doses for carbs you wont see that massive drop. If you think your basal is right, give it a go. No need yo run high for whole morning which is harmful. start gently and dont inject massive doses...

Because In case 2 you didn't have mayonnaise it shoot you straight away. Protein eaten without much fat affects me nearly the same as carbs.

I agree with Tim. Its protein/fat you ate with these little carbs (thats why going high few hours later). I would suggest taking a unit or so at 3pm. You can clearly see that mayonnaise slowed down absorption of protein

Great! I think I will give it a go. I don't like the look of it and I'm planning to wear sleeveless dress for New Years Eve

I don't want advice wrongly as I'm not a doctor. Try to contact your diabetic nurse for a professional advice. If I was running that low I would temporarily reduce my lantus by a couple of units. Try to sip something sugary maybe. Hope youre feeling better soon:)

Your readings of 1.9 or 2.1 are too low. You need to either reduce insulin you take or eat something sugary to push your levels up a bit. 1.9 is a proper hypo and it can be dangerous to run that low

Has anyone tried applying libre sensor on a tummy or a thigh? I don't want to waste the sensor and I wonder if the readings would be ok if I put it somewhere else

Disaster here. I change the cartridge this morning and forgot to fill the tubing. High all day until I realised what I did which was about 5pm. Not a good day at all! Hopefully will be better tomorrow

I can relate to what you say. Just a weird feeling you cant describe or explain in any way. I even suspected I was allergic to insulin and was anxious to take higher doses for carby meals. Since Ive started a pump I don't have that feeling and I think its down to better control. It must be...

No I don't think so. Your body is adjusting now to normal functioning. Stick to it and all will get back to normal soon. As for the weight gain I suppose it will happen now (at least a bit). If you haven't taken your insulin for months I suppose youre underweight now. Few more pounds is really...

Oh dear I think its from my blig. Obviously it should be ml. Please go to my blog and search for the cheescake. I cant post the link im afraid as my phone is playing up at the moment. There are instructions but if I remember well you dont whip the cream

So true. I still cant understand why they think raisins and regular flour is diabetic friendly

I went on a pump in May and just received a letter saying that there are changes in my eyes but it doesn't require any treatment for now. I feel that my sight went worse a bit as well. My control is much better now so I was thinking maybe that's the reason. I heard that quick changes in bs...

Fruit cake on carbs&cal is 73g for 120g. My advice don't eat it or half it

Thanks Mike :) They are quite easily available. Ground almond in any supermarket, coconut and soy flour flour and xantan gum in Holland&Barett (or any other health store or online), erythritol online. I put the link on my blog to the cheapest erythritol I could find but if youre in a rush buy...

There are peanut butter cookies which are yummy and bounty truffles if you want something chocolatey. Or chocolate mousse you could make for everyone, its really delicious

Go to my blog www.diabeticgoodbaking.com Not many cookies, but lots of other treats. Enjoy :)

Looking at the statistics on my blog right now, everybody is baking, or at least looking at recipes :) Whats your dessert menu this Christmas? I'm looking for some inspirations and new ideas. What would like to have in low carb version?
