What is it and what does it mean other than "a summary of the last three months..." I just had my first results back and I got a reading of 6.0 or 42, Any help digesting what this means would be great thanks

Thank you. I will :)

Hi, happy new year to you too I inject 16am and pm, I use 5mm needles and I do pinch the flesh around the site. :S i try and inject as perpendicularly as I can. The first lump I noticed two nights ago and it's still here, bit smaller but still here then last night I noticed a lump where I'd...

I'm exactly the same diagnosed 3 months ago and just started noticing large lumps under my skin, that's exactly why I'm looking through this forum tonight, getting a bit worried tbh, gonna continue reading through now :) glad I found this thread Oh n HAPPY NEW YEAR :) [emoji322]

Hi all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! So yesterday I spotted quite a large lump on the inside of my thigh where I inject my levemir, I know to rotate injection sights and I thought it had been, but it's about 2/3 inches long by an inch. So this morning I injected in the other leg on the outside of my thigh...

Hi David, I was diagnosed in October this year and have always been under the hospital. I don't know where you live but I would fully recommend Queen Elizabeth's in Woolwich, since diagnosis I've seen my dietician twice, nurse twice n doctor twice... in three months. I am type 1, but I can't...

I do everything you said, I use 5mm, fresh ones everytime. And I always squeeze the skin around the injection. :S sometimes it just stings, :( other times I have to double check it's in as I can't feel anything haha guess it's just pot luck as to whether it's going to hurt or not :S

I use "my fitness pal" to count my carbs, it's brilliant, I've found most things pretty accurate, but just remember it's a bit like Wikipedia in the fact that anyone can put things up there... but so far so good for me :)

Before I was diagnosed in October, I was in a pretty healthy routine, gym 3/4 times a week, since diagnosis I haven't been at all... I'm a bit worried about the fact that the injections hurt less and are more efficient in fatty tissue, anyone got any hints or guidance on how tone up n loose...

Oh wow, sounds worth it tho :D hehe

Oooooh I see... haha sorry, still pretty new to all this

Well, 2 hours after drinking a 70g (of carbs) milkshake, fasting from midnight and no morning basal my BG went from 6.3 to 10.4... not too shabby. Looking positive but gotta wait 2 weeks for official results :(

Well I'm just having the second screening test today, fingers crossed!! :D will definitely be enjoying this... hehe

It's a poly peptide treatment, for early onset adults. I get to have a massive sugary milkshake in about an hour... :) getting quite excited haha

Forgive my niavity but what do you mean from 1700 onwards? Do you only use the pump in the day time?

I'm currently sat on a train on my way to Guy's in London, got my final screening test tomorrow to be entered onto a research treatment trial, anyone else done any of these in the past? How did you get on?

What's your ratio? I'm on 10-1 atm, but it's going well (for now...)

I'm sat here in my staff room looking at my lunch and thinking holy **** this is gonna be a big injection I think my highest fast acting injection was 16 for a chip shop dinner but this lunch is gonna creep up there with that, home made soup 35g rolls 30g each, gingerbread man 45g and I also ate...

I totally agree with this. I've only been diabetic for 2 months, so I was already an adult, going out, doing things socially, I'd been to uni, done my partying. I think your son is literally struggling with how to be an adult and have diabetes. I've had to work out how to fit it in to my "old...

I'd love to cook from fresh on a daily basis, but I just love lazing around after work just that little bit more... lol
