Northern irish person here... a soda farrel normally comes in around 50 carbs. i try to avoid them to be honest. they cause high spikes and also seem to release for a long time. more trouble than their worth

As a Type 1 this is something that comes up far to often and media portrayal of Diabetes doesn't really help at all. i get told all the time "its my own fault"

your right in that itll never be easy and other people dont realise the though process you have to go though before you do anything. but you'll cope and all you can do is try live as best as you can. as for the 10 years cure thing. i was told that when i was diagnosed (11 years ago) as far as i...

i Had meningitis about a year before i was diagnosed, ive often wonder if it was linked or if it or the huge doses of antibiotics i was on at the time may have triggered the auto immune response

Just Dont get one on your feet or legs, i got one on my upper arm, healed faster than my healthy friend that got one at the same time

Im Still waiting for for my DAFNIE course, to be honest i worked out most of my own ratios though trial and error it takes a while but once you figure it out its worth it. then you can bulk out your meals with lots of Veg, i really enjoy a good salid with most of my meals now (with out the salid...

Hi There yes i would take a couple of units a few hours before i get up and then take the rest when i get up and eat breakfast, when i have to do this i dont really take more than i normally would more like splitting the dose so im not as high when i get up. i dont do this everyday some times...

Yep Tried most things. im on Levimir/Novo Rapid. using a split dose for the Levmir. uping the dose before bed didn't really seem to change my over night BS but caused me some Hypos around 10/11am. my Doctor has suggested the Dawn phenomenon, which leads me to getting up a few hours before i...

Drop of coke normally. followed by something a little longer lasting . i prefer liquid for Hypos, party because i feel it works quicker and partly because when your low it can be hard to chew (i have choked a few times on the chalkiness of the dextro glucose tabs)

i have much the same problem so far with no solution no mater what i do i end up high at night. ive had more insulin less insulin smaller dinners nothing seems to help. it is the only part of my day that i end up that high and it can be pretty upsetting. my Doc doesnt seem to bothered about it...

Not On a Pump here, was given the option once but my control was ok and i didnt like the idea of being hooked up to something all the time. i would imagine id have a real hard time sleeping like that. i had a CGM for a week and didnt even really like that (really dont like things on my skin)
