Thanks For the replies everyone it certainly helps to give me that extra lift. @therower I am not sure how to describe it really. I would just say it's who I am . I have had since I was 5 and I have never hated it. It has never stopped me doing anything. I just get frustrated at the moment and...

Ha yes that sounds like a plan. I sometimes need that accountability to get me going Once I am plugged in I will report back Sent from my SM-G930F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

After a few months away from this site I am wanting to reconnect and get myself back on top of my control. Last year I made massive strides in reducing my overall control but once again I have let it slip. At the moment I am back to a reactive rather then premptive way of controlling things...

Wanted to have a slight moan at myself and life with this disease. Feeling fed up after returning from holiday and reviewing my blood sugars. Apart from the odd test they have been well above 10 for the entire trip. Firstly as I went with my 5 year old daughter I did intent on keeping them...

10.2 at bedtime. 1 correction and 6.4 this morning

Woke with a blood sugar of 2 this morning. Not a good start to the day and being feeling rough all morning as a result

Hi @Kristin251. Well tbh I was probably quite boring by your standards but I had a drop of salad cream, some awesome ham, tomatoes spring onion and avocado. It tasted great and surprisingly filled me up. I went for the romain leaves as they eemed sturdiest lol. One question I have is do you...

So the last couple of days I have been eating a lettuce wraps for my lunch. Results well it tasted fantastic and the main result was that I lost the bread spike. Thanks @Kristin251 I am now looking at different recipe ideas for the future

Well I am not sure what happened in the end last night. Before bed I had a 1 unit of Qa insulin as sugar was 9 but conscious it was going to rise. Woke up this morning and reviewed on my libre and my sugar dropped to 6 and stayed there for the night. It's almost as if the rice had no effect...

Hi @jinty73. Don't worry I would say your not alone in this thought process. I was exactly the same and having the same results as u. What I would say is don't beat yourself up for testing all the time though that's what it is for. When I first got it i presumed it was instantly going to change...

Just like magic my sugar has now started to climb. 3 1/2 hours after eating. Looks like I will be struggling to wake up with decent sugar

Thanks @CarbsRok that it something to look forward to. On a serious note thanks I didn't realise that. Looks like I will be crossing rice off the menu then lol

Ok just a question for you guys out there. Today no word of a life has been my best day as a diabetic ever. My sugar has remained at 7 throughout the day. Using a libre at the min and it hasn't shifted. Until now Had salmon and rice for tea. Injected according to packer for carbs. 40 min later...

As a libre user for a couple of months now I can honestly say that it is beginning to change my life. This has not happened by just buying the machine it has taken alot of understanding about why things are happening. Only now am I starting to change this and adjust. I haven't signed the...

Hi guys thanks for the suggestions. The filled lettuce is intriguing me slightly and I might try that. Will also check out those breads and give them a try. Not on the pump so I don't have that luxury I am afraid. I have alternated with timings but the spikes seem uncontrollable

Hi everyone. Hear me out first. I am looking for any alternatives to sandwiches at lunchtime. I will be honest ad say I love sandwiches they r tasty and easy to make and store while at work. I have recently purchased a libre machine in an attempt to finally get control of my sugars (type 1...

Hi @DanAttw I can sympathise with u as I used to think the sane thing. My humalog never acted as it should do so I was convinced my body was different. Truth was it was my Levemir that was completely set at the wrong levels and in fact it was that, that was controlling my insulin. You need to...

Hi Tylers73 what do you want to know? I have used it a few times
