I find with alcohol that surges initially rise a little bit then depending how much I've been drinking they usually drop late in the night so, so if I check before bed after drinking and it's around 4ish then that's a small carb snack time. Having said that I usually only drink spirits such as...

....sooooo what your saying is that they even by taking these 'I can still rise to the occasion!!!' if so awesome

I've been advised to take them in order to reduce any retinopathy or kidney issues down the line. My blood pressure is well within normal range so in two minds weather to start or not, it says on the packet that a side effect is erectile dysfunction and this is putting me right off.

Hi all, Thanks for the responses, yes I am UK based. The problem is the waiting times to get seen or an appointment for diabetes related queries, part of me is thinking may be use a private clinic and pay for the investigation work and then get the treatment done on the NHS if possible and on...

Usually this because I have a Libre before that it was wake up go for a **** and other bits and bobs then test before choosing a breakfast,

Hi all, Has anyone here got their diabetes care covered by a private medical insurance, every time I try and do an online quote they exclude any kind of long term condition and any related appointments or treatment. I was wondering if there is a way to tailor a policy that could cover Type 1...

As per the question can changing insulin type and regimes effect you mentally, psychologically and effect your personality. We all know having highs and lows can have an effect on how we feel for example a few days of frustrating highs does make me easily irritable but nothing major. Just...

Thanks @GrantGam I'm kind of in 2 minds to swap to MDI or not as I've been on mixed insulin since I was diagnosed in 1978 and tbh I've managed to get very good control on it until now.

Yep around that time, thing is if I reduce it to stop late night hypo's on training days then the none training days are crazy high in the mornings, like today was about 11, so I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to increase/decrease the evening insulin based on training days. But there's...

Based in London, I'm not on basal bolus because I've managed to get good control on twice daily until recently.

Hi all, I am currently on Humalin M3 and exercise every other day, the problem I am having is that I usually train in the evenings during the week and after training I have a protein and carb based shake but I am still getting lows at around 2-3am, usually I have my level between 7-9 after the...

100% this I've been using the Libre constantly for about 18 months and yes it's expensive but completely worth it, just to add it's revolutionised the way I monitor my levels now sometimes scan like 20-30 times a day to see what's going on.

I'm getting the same kind of issues, I've been advised to go on MDI basal/bolas so let's see. Like your husband I am well controlled in the day and go to the gym 3-4 time week.

Hi folks, So I've spent the last few days reading as much as I can on the MDI stuff and it's been really useful stuff. Another thing I wanted to know is that do you have to take your Basal dosage every day at the same time? At the moment I usually take my morning dose between 7-8:30am...

Thats'a awesome guys thanks for all the prompt replies, much appreciated.

Hi all, This is a my first time posting here so please take it easy on me; I’ve been reading the forum for a good couple of years and have found some pretty good advice and a wealth of knowledge here. I have been a Type-1 diabetic for over 35 years and have been on the pre-mixed twice a day...
