thanks everybody for the replys. With regards to covering the dawn phenomenon at breakfast, i tried that and some times it works and then other times i dont produce sugars and i go low because i took extra shots to cover the dawn phenomenon! Its just a pain in the ass! With the football i...

Also when I play 5 aside football my BS rises sometimes, like yesterday my bs was 6.6 before i started, and when i finished it was 10 and i took no food and no drink. Is there any way of over coming this also? No this only happenes every few weeks! Is it something I have to put up with?

I think I'm having the dawn phenomenon between 9-11am. When I go to bed my bs is usally between 5-7. Last nigth for example my bs was 7.7 and I had no food before i went to sleep. I woke up 8:30 and my bs was 8.6, which isnt a major rise. But if i dont eat breakfast it rises to about 9 or 11...

Hi, I went away on holiday two weeks ago and my b/s ran a little high some times 10's, 11's 12's and the odd 15. But corrected when I could. I was pretty constipation over there even though I drink loads of water. Now I know of holiday constipation, so I just thought it was that, I returned...

thanks for the advice everyone! much appreciated!

Cheers Thanks for help! Would it be best to let my b/s to run a little on the high side i.e. 8, 9, 10's for the wk that I am away? That way I would have a buffer zone and would have to bother checking my b/s as much! Thanks Alan

Type 1 for about 9 months...getting on good...b/s undercontrolled alot better now that Im carb counting and my pancreas has finally kicked the bucket :) I'm heading away to malaga (who are having a massive heat wave 35degs +) this weekend and I was wondering is there anything I need to watch...

I drink alot of beer at the weekend, about 10 bottles of bud or bud light and maybe a few vodka's. i can handle my drink pretty good, wouldnt even be drunk after that. But I am always careful though, eating to keep my bs up and eat before I go to sleep. I find my BS is always brilliant the next...

My stomach isnt lumpy now, but it when i was always using it, it was pretty bruised in some areas. My butt isnt lumpy at all, as I have only been injecting there for about a month. My legs and arms dont have much fat on them so wouldnt be a good idead to inject there i dont think. I use to...

Tired giving my insulin injection this morning in my buttock. And again it didnt work, i went to 14.9 after 2 hrs. I gave myself a corrective dose of 1 shot and came down to 8.4 at lunch. Its getting very annoying, im half thinking of cutting breakfast out because it mess's up my b/s for the...

gbtyke - weetabix is 25.7g per serving (which is two biscuits), the benecol is diary free forest fruits which is 1.8g carbs (which are sugars 1.5g) and the apples I eat are 20g carbs. So total = 47.5g and should be well covered with 7shots of insulin. Timo - my injection sites in the morn are...

timo - I normally wake up at 8:30 and then check my b/s at 9.30 and the eat straight away. This morning I said Id give myself 2 extra shots, so I gave myself 7 shots for my 50g carbs meal a ratio of 1:7. I check my bs after 2hrs and I was 11.1!!! So I left it to see if it would come down. I...

Hi Everyone, For the past few fews now my morning readings after my breakfast have gone mental. When I wake my bs doesnt really change much from before I went to sleep, like yday morn i was 7 before i went to sleep and 7 when I woke up. Then at 9.30am I have my breakfast usually some 2...

I know of two type one's around the same age as me and they have had type 1 since babies and they are saying the same thing as me, that they can eat a much as they like and not gain weight! Maybe as you get older your metabolism slows down and you gain weight.

hmm very interesting. Think I'll have to cut down on my diet drinks a bit so :(
