Ok so this may or may not be connected but I I've been on Lantus for about a week after 30 odd years of the 30/70 regime and I'm a pretty avid gym goer, I had some shoulder issues along the way but the last week or so my shoulders have been aching so much some nights I can barely sleep...

What is the difference between this and Lantus? Does anyone have a comparison link?

Ok great thanks all. I have been on the Libre for about 2 years now and as mentioned it's awesome.

I was told that 1 unit of NovoRapid lower BS by 3mmol/L but I'm not sure that's the case, if I've over 10 then I defo need more then then a couple of units. Anyway it's all new to me at the moment so lets see.

Sounds like everything else associated with T1 'suck it and see what works for you' LOL

I have the mySugr app and have been using the libre for about 2 years now. Anyway I find the mySugr app to be completely un0-user friendly there's just waaaaay too much **** going on for me. I use Libre and myFitness pal.

This is the scenario I am referring too. Also is it ok to take a second bolus shot within the 4-5 hour window of the previous one?

Hey guys. Quick question is t possible to take a bolus shot after a meal rather then before? I'm only asking as this could happen when you can't accurately calculate the carbs in something, so may be better to take the shot after rather then dose incorrectly before hand. This is of course...

Cheers guys. This is all new to me, the ole 70/30 was sooooo much less calculating. Anyway lets see.

I've had the odd on bleed before but no issues, just clean it up and go.

Guys, Going for a NYE night out tomorrow, usually I don't even think about this stuff and just go. On the old 30/70 system I would just eat a few more carbs before a night out; should I just do the same? On the new basel/bolus is there a knack for tweaking the insulin whist out drinking...

7.1 that's nothing in the grand scheme of things. Question is will the background insulin bring it back down? Also a point to note is that did the curry have a gravy to it, they do add quite abit of sugar to curry even if it's spicy. I wonder would the results would be for something like...

Soooo yet another question is the insulin correction factor always the same, i.e 1u of Novorapid reduces it by 3 mmol? Or can that vary and change like the insulin to carb ration?

Technically if your have 6-8g of carbs that's not zero is it so do we think the the above still applies? I'm gonna just try it and see.

Cheers buddy will be interested to find out.

Sorry I mean to try this only if levels are in range, What I am trying to do is reduce the carbs at night if possible, i.e consume the majority during the day and then non to very little if possible at night. On the 30/70 regime if I had a protein and good fats only meal my levels would never...

Guys Suppose I have a < 10 carb meal do I need to bolus for it? Thinking about trying this in the evening at Lantus time. Worst case scenario If my levels raise out of range after a few hours I can always take a correction shot right? Forgive my ignorance I'm quite new to this Basel/bolus...

A 30/70 insulin type is a pre mixed insulin where 30% of it is fast acting and 70% is background insulin it's delivered as one shot usually twice a day, so there is no notion of basal/bolus. It is quite an old system tbh I was put on in the late 70's and been on it until very recently.

Ok soooo I have yet ANOTHER question hope someone can help.... Currently I take my Basal (Lantus) between 7-8pm every day and during the days things are relatively good, however come 5pm onwards my levels begin to rise even if I don't eat (today hit a 14 usually gets to about 8-10), I can only...
