I found levemir was much more even when changing to two separate injections. In my experience I find the type of exercise really affects the insulin release, if I inject into the legs and weightlift (backsquat) it gets absorbed much quicker. In particular, any cardio based activity has made me...

Absolutely shocked to hear what that vile person said to you! Wasn't aware those kind of people existed! You'll find the majority of people at gyms are helpful likeminded and supportive. :) You just need to find a type of exercise that you like, once you get into it it'll be addictive and I'm...

Have been thinking of joining some kind of forum for a long while and have finally got round to it. I've been a type 1 since around age 12, I'm now 22. Hba's have ranged from between 8-10 which I know isn't ideal, I wanted to enquire whether anyone knew whether it was possible to encounter...
