Yours are quite varied like mine then [emoji4]

Interesting, looks like you don't need much insulin in the day then [emoji4]how much background insulin do you take?

If you're consistently dropping at the same time each day I would reduce your insulin. If it is hormonal you may find you need to increase it again. I tend to wait three days to see a pattern and then adjust my doses.

Hello, Welcome to the forum! I've had had type 1 diabetes for 7 years since I was 17 and I also didn't eat the healthiest. I think its important to take each day as it comes. You will have good and bad days and it's important not to let the bad days get you down. Start with cutting down on...

57 back in June [emoji4]was 67 at the start of the year

Out of interest, what are everyone's carb:insulin ratios and what is their background insulin?

If she is consistently dropping at the same time of day I would definitely reduce the fast acting insulin. Unfortunately many factors can affect your blood sugars. Luckily for me my hormones don't so fingers crossed your daughter may be the same. Unfortunately no day is the same and as long as...

Around 6 years ago my control was so tight I had become hypo unaware! Luckily I didn't have a driving licence at the time so it didn't cause me any problems. I did however purposely run a little high for a few weeks and it definitely brought back my awareness for the hypos and I am still feeling...

I'm sure there are needles/pens where the needle isn't actually exposed. I learnt about it when I did a 4 day intense training course. This may be something worth discussing/looking into if you haven't already

Well done [emoji4]I was 6.6 so I'm happy with that!

7.3 is still good[emoji4]should be proud with that number when you have a lot of other things to contend with x

I tend to do this too, I was slim before diagnosis, very slim when diagnosed and also slim now![emoji1787]So I found it difficult to cut down my carbs when I had lived a life of eating whatever I wanted without seeing weight gain. I Will now try and eat non carbs if I'm feeling particularly...

No problem [emoji4] Her background insulin seems to be correct then so can rule that out. Does she have any snacks after lunch and injects separately, if so how are her blood sugars when doing this? If her bloods are okay when doing this it may mean the carb counting is slightly out or the...

How are everyone's fasting bloods today? [emoji5]

Good morning, Firstly what a shock that must have been, I was 17 when I was diagnosed so not much older. I also lost a lot of weight and had a massive appetite. Is she injecting for her meal and then injecting separately for the snacks/puddings. Also once she treats the hypo is she then seeing...

Hello, I know you posted a while back but I'm a 24 year old female and always here for a chat [emoji846]

Hello, I have been able to have two blood tests this since corona and have also been offered a third one.

Sounds like you need to drop your basal insulin! You shouldn't need to snack before going to bed. (Edited by mod.)

Glad to hear your bloods are slowly coming down in the morning [emoji16]

Looks like you've had good numbers [emoji16]well done!
