Okay, thank you for the advice. Just for the record, can this sudden higher need of insulin caused by stress? how do you guys deal with stress or how do you react to it in terms of BG? I will change my insulin right away, I came back from 240 to 180 after 7 units!!! of rapid acting insulin...

Thanks for your answer, I'm quite confident I didn't forget my basal, however it might be either my Lantus or NovoRapid that isn' t working, I'll change it directly and see what it does. I find it very hard to say if I'm ill, stressed or calm. I know all of these three have influence on my BG...

Hello, I'm a 18 year old boy and just like everyone I like to have a treat once in a while, so yesterday I had chips with meat and fat sauce. My normal diet is quite low in fat and I might have exaggerated a bit last night with the french fries and sauce, I had the normal amount of carbs with...

Hello, I have a question about fibers when counting carbs, I live in France and on the back of the product it says 18g of carbs, of which fibres: 9g (just an example I came up with). Now my question is: should I subtract them and bolus for 9g of carbs? I've read something about Atkins who...

yeah, I've been correcting with bolus insulin for about every 2 hours... I didn't check for ketones but next time I might. I now went up to 26 Lantus instead of 20 and I think I'll up it to 30 this evening because I still have a couple of high readings

Wow, okay. Luckily I don't have to double my basal. Did you also have BG readings above 10? Yesterday I have been between 10 and 15 all day... I'm using Lantus so it's quite difficult to adjust my basal daily on what I need.

Hello, I recently started running and riding my bike again after a long break and I immediately noticed that my basal needs dropped a lot even when it was 2 days ago I exercised I would still need less basal insulin. Now since of wednesday I went on a vacation untill next Saturday and I'm...

Me, I take about 90g of carbs during lunch, I'm always really hungry and I feel like I really need those since I'm quite active... My BMI is ok, around 20 so I think I can have those 90g I think that the mistake that I make over and over is eating too much protein and fat at lunch, even a...

Yes, I will go low and instead of treating my hypo with only some quick acting carbs, I take about 2 dextro tablets and insulin to prevent the spike I will have

I know it slows down absorption but my thought is that in my case it is slowing the absorption that much that the carbs are being my digested when there's no Rapid acting insulin left..

Hi all, I've been wondering which amount of fat is considered 'high' for you and will split your bolus? For those who eat moderate/ high carb I'm having a hard time finding what causes my 3 hours later post meal spikes. I once did a basal test and now I know it isn't my basal. But the weird...

Thankyou for your reply, what is your daily intake of fat protein and carbs? In % of course. I'm really getting sick of eating all those carbs (currently at about 280-300 a day), it gives me big post meal spikes and makes me feel sick...

Hello, I was wondering if this is possible? Being on a low carb high fat diet without losing weight? I'm really wanting to reduce my carbs to get better control over my Diabetes but I'm not having the intention to lose some weight? If I were to take 2500 calories a day mainly coming from fat...

Oké, thankyou. I normally have around 70-80g fat per day. About 25-30 % of my daily calorie intake (2500kcal) is that too much? I think I will start having my shot after meal, it should do better. If not I could try a split bolus but I prefer not to since I'm not on a pump!

I'm having exactly 160g bread at Lunch which is about 4 slices for me, of which I had 2 with peanut butter today

I'm not having 25 saturated fat in one meal, I think like 5-10 of them is saturated. I'm having two slices of peanut butter that contains 10g fat for each slice with very low saturated fat. I sometimes have hypos before bouncing back up so that might be it? I'll try and leave fat out tomorrow...

I already made a topic on this problem I'm having at Lunch. I'm T1,18 years old and taking 4 shots a day (Novo Rapid and Lantus) I just don't seem to get it right with my Insulin at Lunchtime Let me explain the issue: I'm starting Lunch around 90 mg/dl, I'm having 90g of carbs (brown bread)...

The only difference I noticed when switching to Lantus was that I wouldn't rise around 7-8 am because my Levemir would've worked out. They also told me that Lantus has less peeks compared to Levemir but I found that hard to believe, I even dare to say it's the other way around... I also...

Oke thanks, I think I will have some fasting to do then! Last year I switched from 1x a day Levemir to 1x a day Lantus because Levemir wouldn't last long enough for me so my doctor told me to switch to Lantus. Since then I got some issues during the night at around 3am (5 hours after having my...

Ty for the reply, I wrote down what I ate today and this is where my 2800 calories came from. Carbs : 920 calories (33%) Fat: 1280 calories(46%) Protein: 600 calories (21%) I did had a pizza today though... You reckon this is too much fat? At lunchtime I had 70g of fat of which 24 whas...
