Cheers guys, was wondering why my bs levels were going down so quickly after bolusing

When you take your cannula out and quite a lot of blood starts to come out as well, what does this mean

Cheers Ely I'll Try that so

I am on a pump, and this is the first time to ski with it, I skied last year on mdi, and found my bloods went quite high.(17+) which obviously affected my skiing Has anyone been skiing with a pump, and what do they do esp in the morning regarding basal and bolus Thanks

Hi himtoo Glad to hear all going well, it took me a while with to get my basals right- so your lucky , yes I agree with what you say, maybe I'll re check my ratios and basals again

Hi all, I'm on the vibe with Dexcom, and although I have few hypos as I catch them before they happen and my A1C is good, I kind of feel I am living a bit in hypoland as I regularly have to have a biscuit or a drink to avoid a hypo ( at least twice a day)- is this normal and just the cost of...

Just wondering what % are people's basal and bolus on the pump I'm about 38% basal and 62% bolus

Hi ganna 10, thanks for that, must check that out, and at 20m there was no problem in seeing ww2 wreck ?

Hi ganna 10 - thanks a mil for the info, yep have my open water 7 years now, so happy enough just to go down 20m . Thanks again for the tip about not having my any fast acting insulin on board etc, will have to give it a try again, dived in Malta before, it was great esp around and the blue...

Hi, just wondering what were your bloods before and after the dive, and did you eat anything different before. I would like to know as I am a type 1 for 2 years, and would like to do some diving again

Just seeing on average how many hypos do people have a week, and what would be the average mmol that you would be during the hypos - i know this can vary by quite a lot etc

Ok thanks for the heads up, will change it

Hi, as ever looking for advice Is it possible to put a cannula in a certain place be it on the belly etc, and the insulin hits you very fast when you bolus This has happened to me for 2 days, where I bolus and near 10 mins after I would be having a hypo when I am eating. It has never happened...

Thanks noblehead I will do that and see

About 20 mins beforehand, for instance at lunch today I was 5.5, took my bolus and 4 hours later I was still 8.4, so I think it's just my basal ratios need changing slightly ?

Hi noble head, no not all meals, but I think my bolus ratios maybe changing, and I might try the dual wave for some meals and see how I get on- thanks for the advice.

Hi, no all regular in that department

Yep, only what I have high fat like a pizza would I do a split bolus

On the pump 4 months, yep did the basal test, keeping at s nice 5.5 mmol level, so i would be 6 before my meal, take my bolus, and would not rise much, then after about 3 hour so would begin to rise and I would go up to about 10, and I would stay at this level

Hi, I seem recently to start going up after 3 hours of taking a bolus ( and the food isn't height in fat) is this due to the fact my bolus should be more, or something else, as after 3 hours I would be say 7, then would go up to 11/12 and maybe come back to 10 but stay around this till my next...
