Hi guys just wanted to update you Been doing quite a lot of tests today, just to see how things go after eating, so testing every half hour after eating and I haven’t had anything above 9 today and I’ve eaten porridge for breakfast and prawn salad sandwiches on whole grain bread for lunch with...

Thinking of you and Kai today @Marie 2 and know that she will always be with you. Our dog children never leave us and will always stay by our side ❤️ Rest in peace Beautiful and lovely Kai ❤️

Thank you, yea I am currently working on this at the moment, so I find that I need less insulin in the morning otherwise I hypo around lunch, but then I need a lot more insulin with my night meal. I basal at 8pm every evening and tend to stay pretty steady overnight

Hi @SueJB Bless you, thank you I guess I have just been so positive since diagnosis and maybe my emotions have been abit delayed. Plus it hadn’t really occurred to me the affect of after meal spikes, so usually I check 2 hours after and I am generally happy with that number but I thought I...

Thank you for your response ❤️ It’s been getting me abit fed up because I love my porridge in the morning! But I may have a chat with my nurse about fiasp and see what she thinks! I’m don’t think I will ever give up carbs but I can go low carb for lunch and dinner and have some carbs meals now...

Hi guys Newbie here So I have never tested myself just after eating and today I decided to see what happens just after I’ve had my dinner. So I started eating at 7 and I tested at 7.35 and found my blood sugar was 11.3. Before dinner it had been 8. My question is, is this normal or should it be...

Hi Marie ❤️ With the slow releasing carbs due to fat - as a rule of thumb - how much fat in a food/meal would you generally consider high fat and so bound to create slow releasing carbs?

Hey @CharlieType1Diabetic I am sorry to hear about your hypo How many grams of carbs are you having to treat it? You may have accidentally had too many carbs to treat it perhaps? So anything under 4 is classed as a hypo, although I absolutely appreciate that everyone and every hypo is different...

I will look these up thank you!

I had a bad day yesterday and binged on dark chocolate abit But today will be a better day!

Thank you @SueJB hoping for a better day today ❤️

I really hope she feels better soon @Marie 2 we have two doggies here and I know how much you will be worrying❤️ The vets will look after her

Hi guys I am just wondering what sensors you use? I wanted the freestyle libre but it is quite expensive for the sensors each month at £100 ( haven’t asked my nurse yet but doubt I’d be eligible via nhs) does anyone use any others that are abit cheaper? I know some might say you can’t put a...

Aww thank you @Marie 2 I just try to see it as I can only do my best and aslong as I try my best I can always be proud of myself and this will also mean that I do try to learn and improve more and more. Bit of a bad day is all today. My monitor has also decided to break on me tonight for...

Gosh, sometimes i just feel like there’s so much to learn and will I ever really get it and be able to look after myself fully and not experience so many lows and highs all the time. Carb counting seems so easy till you throw in too much of this and too much of that you know? But that’s why I...

I just bought these new fibre 90 nut/cake bars but forgot to check ingredients, it said 1.0 sugar per bar and they are low carb so I thought would be nice for a treat now and again without insulin and I ate one on the way home. Stupid me, had malitol in it if that’s how you spell it which My...

I love this because it is absolutely 100% correct, we have tomorrow and that is something to be grateful for❤️

Morning everyone, I woke up at 4.3 today, bit lower than usual. Looked at the news and can see that they have given out the first UK vaccine to a women called Margaret. I have just been reflecting back on this craziness since the first reports of the virus in December. I remember I was living...
