You migh want to start your own thread as you appear to be replying to a thread that's over 5 years old.

One serving of protein shake has 15g of carbs and 48g of protein. If at 4pm all you ate having is a protein shake this is 4 hours from your last decent serving of carbs. In the absence of carbs your body wants to get glucose from somewhere. It still has to replace all the glycogen in your...

That's great and all. But you are replying to a thread in the type 2 sub forum by an OP who is treating his diabetes with diet only.

The aviva expert had a bolus wizard, but before you can use that you really need to be confident that your basal dose is correct, because to complete the information for the bolus wizard to work you need to know what your insulin to carb ratio is, at different times of the day, how long bolus...

Is that the same pen with replaceable insulin cartridges that you have been changing? Or have you been using the same pen and insulin for the last couple of weeks? If it were me I'd start a fresh vial of basal and bolus insulin so you can rule out and problems with your insulin as the issue. If...

On what basis does that make porridge good for blood sugar? Have you tested, eaten the porridge, waited two hours and then tested to find out for yourself what the porridge's effect on your blood sugar actually is?

This is your original question: Again, I don't think you understand what it is you are asking for if you are planning to use a common blood sugar profile from a diabetic to inform your infant sons basal rate dosage, again a diabetics blood sugar profile will be a treated diabetics results...

IBS can have a psychological cause, but can still cause real discomfort. Coeliac disease can have stomached ache type symptoms. Coeliac often comes along with type 1 as it's an autoimmune disease, the body thinks it has gotta kill gluten, but can't so instead starts attacking bits of its own...

A hba1cof 104mmol/mol is equivalent to a hba1c of 11.4% or an average blood sugar of 15.9mmol/l. So it's very high. I'm not suprised you've lost weight if your blood sugars are constantly in the teens. Stress can raise blood sugars but it won't be raising it to double figures. How do you...

I'm not convinced you understand what it is your asking for @DanisV . You want a CGM curve from a diabetic? You do understand that that curve will show them being treated with insulin, either via a pimp or a basal insulin? I, really concerned about how you think that will assis with setting your...

Falsely low hba1c can be caused by: Acute and chronic blood loss Haemolytic anaemia Splenomelgy Kidney failure Taking vitamin E, interferon alpha, Ribavirin

So are you taking insulin having bee diagnosed with 1.5? What insulin regieme are you using?

I think your bloods prove not correcting for post prandial highs is the correct course: What would that 2.8 have looked like if you ha corrected at 9am, just two hours after your breakfast bolus of 2:10? Remember, if you are waking up hypo you have probably been hypo for a significant portion...

A cup of tea won't cause a hypo. Nor will a cup of tea with 50-100ml of either skimmed or semi skimmed milk prevent a hypo. 100ml of semi skimmed milk has 4.8g of carbs. 100ml of skimmed milk has 5g of carbs (so realistically, there is no difference in the milks). Having a hypo after a cup of...

What medication are you on for your diabetes @martin196 , if any?

Make sure you have decent travel insurance with T1 DM declared as a pre existing condition, that way if something does get lost etc when you call travel insurance for help they should be able to point you to the best place to go to get a new prescription.

On what basis are you varying your levemir dose nightly? The job of your basal insulin is to keep you flat-ish when not eating or bolusing. Levemir is very responsive to dose changes so people might change their dose for exercise or at the weekend when they aren't working. But varying it on a...

Why are you continuing to finger prick your son after blood tests have confirmed he doesn't have diabetes? I promise I don't enjoy firing a spring loaded drawing pin into my finger, I doubt a 5 year old enjoys it very much, especially when there is no medical reason for doing it.

Any particular reason this is flagged type 2? It doesn't seem to be anything to do with type 2. Have you checked your injection sites for any strange lumps and bumps? Theses are lipohypertrophy, fat deposits and scar tissue from reusing injection sites that can cause significant delays in...

I would try the carbs and cals app. It has pictures of foods and meals and a carb content for them. It will have a variety of noodles. Not sure what else to expect for Thai, Vietnamese, Balinese food. Have you tried doing a few take always or restaurants with Thai food to see if you can carb...
