In EU and I assume the rest of the world there is a 1 hour startup time and 14 days battery life, so assuming you time things properly you will only lose an hour every two weeks.

I'm advocating answering questions with information about what would happen, not whether he should do it or not. I don't think he should do it either, but I also believe he has the right to whatever he wants with his body, but that it's better to be informed about what would happen and why...

Sure is. My own heart is beating rather fast right now as well, waiting for the bolus to kick in.

Yes, I meant he was getting attacked by others for reasons I've just mentioned, again your post was informative and valuable, unlike the others.

I didn't say you attacked him, you were in fact the only one who actually provided information, which I myself referred to.

No, you shouldn't reply at all if you have nothing to say or contribute.

If you read between the lines, "you're being an idiot for doing it" is to me an attack rather than advice when it doesn't offer any explanation to what would happen if he did take it. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but my take is that he's being judged for it rather than getting answers to the...

Not being interested in taking drugs myself I haven't tried any and don't know much about how they affect you, much less a diabetic, but if as the information provided by @Robinredbreast it seems like a bad idea if your heart rate is up by high or low blood sugar already, otherwise it doesn't...

Is he named after the Prince of Darkness by any chance? Happy birthday to him, either way. :)

It would certainly make diabetes suck less if a feasible treatment was to drink coffee or have a caffeinated chocolate bar or something.

When and how much depends on a bunch of factors, if you're currently at 3.5 the most important thing I think is what you are about to eat. If you're about to eat a delicious chocolate cake or whatever that will go up quickly, inject before you start eating. If you're about to eat something that...

Think I've changed lancet like once in my life, utterly pointless when you (almost) never bother testing anyway. :P

Occasionally fantasising about giving someone you don't like an entire pen's worth of insulin.

I favour Red Hat and its derivatives. Also known to use Debian derivatives and Arch on occasion.

I'm a viking, not a ninja. Rushing in head first and just burn things down. ;)

Just be careful of stacking too much or you might have one of them lovely falling off the top of Everest drops out of nowhere and knock yourself out. If you can I'd suggest going for a short walk or something.

Note that target ranges will vary from person to person, while some people may be perfectly fine with and even target 4, some will want to stay at or above 5 at all times, for example. I personally have my target range set from 5.2 to 8.4 and while being slightly below or above is no big deal...

And in other T1D athlete news, Max Domi is traded from one dumpster fire team to another dumpster fire team. ;) https://www.nhl.com/news/alex-galchenyuk-traded-to-coyotes-by-canadiens-for-max-domi/c-299084472

I always have sweets lying around but prefer using fruit/berries as they will have additional benefits as well as the necessary sugar, if I'm out and about I usually don't carry anything unless I expect to be stuck somewhere and have no way of going to a shop or whatever. Unlike seemingly most...

I wasn't lecturing you, all this time I've merely been asking why jelly babies of all things are the go to thing to recover from hypos, and bringing up bananas as they happen to be what I often use, not because they are anything special or better than whichever anyone else uses. As for buying...
