Can anyone recommend a decent low fat hypo treat, currently running on a 3.1 and fancy something nice as a treat, chocolate cake will take ages to kick in, sent from Starbucks!!!!

SOOOO are we saying in this weather it wou't go off just leaving out and about.

Cheers, when you say 50% before do you mean right before the food or the usual 10-20 mins before you actually consume?

Hi folks, It’s been a while since I posted here, anyway a quick question how does one bolus for a meal that contains a good amount of fats say macro’s like this 59g Carbs 51g Fat 65g Protein So yesterday I bolused for the usual carb amounts then went low, probably due to the fats, (i fancied...

I know no different was diagnosed at the age of 3 and it has had NO real effect on my life as I have no pre-diabetis to compare with. Has it stopped me achieving and doing what I want in life NO!! It's more difficult to dome things compared to 'normal people', and the condition is hugely annoying.

27 last year after a hypo rebond ate sugar on top of sugar and carbs on top of carbs hypo lasted hours and hours and hours....... THEN bang 27.1!!!!!

I'm assuming is this happens you just whack the remaining units into into another area. I very very sometimes used to get that with syringes where the plunger could not be squeezed all the way down due to hitting an over used injection spot.

Yep the disposable flexi-pens

Was just about to do that, thing is it's pain because it's knocks all the tine in target figures etc out which really annoys me.
