I've only just started doing this and most of the time they are reasonable, for example I've had 6.9, 7.9mmol/L which is really fustrating at the time the alarm goes off below 5.0 (it may read something like 4.3 or 4.5 when it actually recognises the level). Let me know if you have any advice, I...

Hi all, My DSN is on holiday at the moment so just wanted some generic advice and ideas even though I know may not be able to get specialist advice on doses etc. I'm still in my honeymoon period (diagnosed end of June 2023) and on these insulins: Tresiba 1 unit morning Novorapid 1-2 units with...

Thanks all for the great advice so far! I think the problem was being newly diagnosed I took the sensor as gospel and in real time and it's so hard not to panic in a hypo. I'm starting to finger prick when alarm goes off and have found some pretty big discrepancies! Ill do the 2-3 jelly baby...

Hi guys, Overall I'm doing well with a new T1DM diagnosis roughly 2 months ago, with ~70% time in range, I'm still in my honeymoon period where my body still has an amount of its own insulin and I only need either 1 or 2 units of novorapid for meals, using the Libre 2 sensor. The only issue I...

Thank you for the information about Libre sensors this explains a lot! I will set my upper limit higher :)

Hi all, I've been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes for about a month, I've got used to daytime glucose readings and on the whole these are pretty good (~80% time in range). It is just the nighttime, I try to ensure it is above 8.0mmol/mol, may have a snack around 10-11pm just to last until 3/4am...

Thank you, really good point. I am overly reliant on my libre as before this I finger pricked for a few weeks before my diagnosis, will go back to this as a back up and to confirm hypos! Really useful thanks

Wow those stories are scary, you did well to manage it on your own for so long!

Hi there, I am a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic, diagnosed early. Had hypos during the first few nights of starting on insulin on starting doses, then my sugar levels stabilised and were perfectly stable at night for 3-4 nights. From what I've read so far, this means the basal dose is perfect...

Thanks all, really useful to have other views of type 1 diabetics. I made a mistake it's day 10 of insulin, had two weeks off so far but they diagnosed it quite early on. I'm thinking of three half days/week from next week but if it doesn't feel right I may just take longer time off completely.

Hi guys, newly diagnosed T1DM at 29 years. Its my first post on here as I cannot find the information anywhere on online and understand it may be a bit subjective and differ from person to person. A bit of background, had COVID three times maybe had very mild symptoms of tiredness on and off...
