hello I have been type 1 for over 50yrs. Recently I asked my gp for a pump . He gave me a referral and I have seen a specialist nurse about this. The reason I want one is I have now got a lot of swelling and lumps, also my control now seems not good. I have had extensive laser surgery on both...

sorry to hear of this. I am type 1 and have been for over 50 years. I was diagnosed at 13yrs old. Back then there were no such thing as blood tests.

I agree they should not make comments. They don't no how lucky they are not to have the condition. I wish I could be cured but have had to live with it for the last 50yrs

good coment

I know i go high if I get up later than I normally do. Levemir does not last 24 hrs,probably nearer to 20hrs with me. I take 2 doses of levemir one in morning and a small one in evening. But before morning at about 3am I start to go up. I counteract some of this by have my morning Humalog about...

I have found for me before breakfast about 15 mins, as long as my sugar level was over 8 If it is lower than 6 then less than 4 mins. But evening meal is just before my meal. I am on Humalog insulin which is a fast acting one. But I got to these figures by slowly changing them by no more than...

thanks all. when first diagnosed there were no such thing as blood tests just had to put a tablet in urine sample.very inaccurate. I have done a DAFNE course 2 years ago and I highly recommend it. Thought i knew everything how wrong i was. Have had quite a few hypos however my results now are...

hi i am type 1 and have been for many years. If I get up a little later in the morning than normal (even 1 hour ) my sugar level is usually higher. This is likely caused as my slow acing insulin does not last 24 hours , but just 21 hours with me. So could it be you are waking and getting up a...
