Hi Ophelia Some great advice here. It really is about taking control of things, it may seem insurmountable at first but small steps lead to great changes eventually, you will get there. The roller coaster ride of your Blood Glucose going high then low will have such a negative effect on your...

cold fruit with cold cream/ yoghurt, warm fruit with cold Greek yoghurt, you take it whichever way you like it ; ). It's all good.

You are right Bleemster, it is what a lot of us find out about DAFNE, might look good on paper and it is good to have a guide , but you really need to test a lot to see how you react to foods. I mean they tell you that your Basal will cover you for a pure protein meal of say bacon and egg...

Alpen again ,high in carbs, so is toast :mrgreen: ...I have a big bowl of blueberries and strawberries and half a big pot of full fat cream for breakfast = 3 units of Novo rapid...if I had Frosties or Alpen I would have to have around 12 /15 units or more , it's been so long since I ate high...

Hi Get some Hibi -scrub to wash,optional but worth having in . Then get Iodine Tincture/Solution. It is one your Grandma probably used. It is used by surgeons to paint the skin before surgery and is the best for healing wounds IMO. Just paint it on ,do not cover, and it will deal with anything...

Hey I found Apidra FAST. I had to change to Novo. Frosties have a ludicrous amount of sugar in them and starchy carbs :mrgreen: ...I am insulin sensitive, and to be honest I would have to main line to bring them down after a bowl of Frosties and milk . Have you looked at low carb or...

forgot, another thing which may help, may be worth mentioning to your DSN or researching , is a continuous glucose monitor. I was attached to one given to me by my Diabetic team for a month, it was very enlightening and helpful. This would give you a good overview and negate the sore fingers.

Hi CCM I think you are doing a great job there, and it sounds like you are getting some good help and support from your DSN which is great. I think the only thing you can do is what you are doing ,as much as I bet it pains you more than your daughter with all the finger pricks ,testing at...

Hi CCM A very difficult time for you and your lovely daughter, I have been Type 1 for 20 + years and as a Mum still thank goodness that neither my kids have it thus far , because I know how hard it must be for Mums and Dads like you, to try and have to second guess where your Daughter's blood...

Wow Conner, that is shocking . You really have been through the Mill, so sorry to hear about such bad practice in the Hospital, being in Hypo for a long time is very scary. I really hope things settle for you soon. Do you know what brought the very high sugars on again, did you have a Virus or...

Hi Vampix You have a special boy there, who will see things and have insights that most of us mere mortals can only dream of, so cherish him. It is a gift in my mind but does have it's challenges. He will love his routines and ritual, so Diabetes involves a lot of those, he will have graphs...

Hi Joel I struggle with this sometimes, I have hit muscle a couple of times even with the 4mm needles, scary!!!!. I run a lot and for the last 6 months now lift heavy, my BF is 13%. I have found that I can't inject in my Stomach at all, no fat. at all in my legs, too much muscle, and I now have...

Hi S Yes, there are Hypo alarm wrist watches that can be bought, I tried one a year or so ago. I found it useless to be honest. There may be better ones on the market but mine had a mind of it's own and went off when I wasn't Hypo, and didn't when i was. Also the sensors do make your wrist...

Hi Rob Yes that is the product name, I'm sorry I don't remember where I got them from, Amazon, I think :think: Another one which may be worth a try and help is, Epsom Salts, I buy big tubs of the stuff on line, again Amazon. Pegasus is good but there are loads of deals out there, so I swap...

Hi Etty The fat in the cream slows down the absorption of the coffee , so the caffeine does not seem to hit my blood stream quiet so quick and cause the adrenal response which in turn causes my BG to rise. I have tested this one out a nice slow rise. Also, it tastes nice. Also, I need all...

You are a right little star WJ, we need a Bouquet of flower Smilie...Hugs xx

Hope you like it Robert! WJ' to be honest it does remind me a little of Soy milk, it's not obtrusive ,to be honest more on the watery side...AND I read the ingredients the other day and here's why, the main ingredients is spring water (fair enough) healthy,, the second on the list is Almonds...

I missed my Cappucino's and didn't want to waste my carb quota on milk, so I was looking for an alternative. i have one of those milk frother thingy's :lol: . So instead off relegating it to the back of the kitchen gadget cupboard I went on walk about. I did not fancy Soy, it just dosen't taste...

Hi BaliRob Leg cramps are not nice ,MY BIL has suffered for years with them, he's been on Quininine like you for years with not much joy...I told him about the Kidney connection so he has been off them a good while now , no difference on or off it ,so to save his kidneys he may as well be off...
