@admins, just a suggestion.. but would probably be advisable to add a captcha/email auth to the forum sign up to stop the spammers...

I know I started this.. but one that was mentioned above has struck a chord with me: Journey This is deffo a journey and learning experience

Not sure to be honest, I’m honeymooning so my ratios seem to change often. I think I have it.. then proved wrong!

What word would you give when asked about diabetes? For me.. All-encompassing (Nearly one word)

Well.. it certainly looks like this is working quickly. My daily meal spikes are pretty much gone. Had to up my ratios due to hypos, but after this mornings breakfast and run my lunch and dinner spikes didn’t even really register.. Is this the experience of most on fiasp?

I took 2 units an hour and a half before training with breakfast (suggested 3 units but reduced by 1 as new I was going to the gym). Deffo a learning / experimenting time. Will go for a longer timeframe/bigger reduction tomorrow and see where that goes.

So I’m 2 months in T1. Did a weeks skiing which was insightful and decided this would be my week for getting back on the training. Do my first 5k on the treadmill, not fast by any means but felt good. Started at 10mmol with 2units fiasp on board. Dropped gently during the run: 5 minutes later...

Did you have the antibody blood results back yet * not sure What foods do you typically eat for breakfast? How active are you each day? * yogurt and cereal everyday (carb counted) * kinda, work at a desk but do between 6-10,000 steps a day (@8km) I know I should speak to the ds team, but I saw...

Hypothetical question.. how long can a t1d go without insulin before things start to spiral and go bad?

What I meant was.. that if they WERE wrong and I’m not T1.. this insulin I’m taking .. what would it do to me?

I had diminished eyesight, constant thirst, falling asleep every evening- chronic tiredness. Had a blood test at hospital and had a blood gas of 38 then had a hba1c that was 80. >> the a&e doctor told me type 2, sent me home. I went back to my gp same day and he got me admitted via the...

I have read about the honeymoon period and this is more than likely where I am... It’s so disconcerting, to be told you need this to live and not be sure in your mind that you do. Would be interested to know about my insulin and non t1 question tho.

I know this might sound weird. But I often think I’ve been misdiagnosed. I know I’m new to this only being 2 months in.. but I get days when I think the doctors are wrong. Maybe it’s just denial? If someone without T1 was to take insulin in the doses I do .. would it cause issues? I take...

I’m moving onto fiasp tomorrow. Good to read positives. Will be a bit of a learning curve for me, only been on novorapid for 2 months, but post meal spikes are high and hypos regular. Moving to this to see if it helps.

Wow!! That’s the horror story I’m worried about! Did someone help you, or was you ok to sort yourself? I hit 1.9 a few weeks back and had stars and sit down.. really thought I was about to collapse.

Yeah, I’m quite partial to a coors (and light). Tried bud light the other week.. 1 is ok but anymore was awful!

Add a few hours sounds like a standard works night out ;)

doing all the things i used to do... >> long distance running, weight training, climbing, snowboarding

I'm interested in others experiences with alcohol and what happens for you guys. Obviously im pretty new to this.. when diagnosed at xmas i was super wary and didnt really drink anything. I have now found red wine doesnt really do anything to my levels, i dont drop overnight or the next day...

I never wake up for night time hypos, and only really feel the day time ones when really low 2s & early 3s. I’m on lantus (night) and novorapid (meal times). Have changed my lantus to one unit less (2 nights now) and upped my icr on each meal time novorapid by one. Seems to have eliminated...
