A lot ! Ummmmmmm, let me try and calculate (every day is completely different), but .............. between 150 to 180. Each new cartridge (which holds 300) usually gets replaced in less than 2 days. Some days are even worse !! I just wouldn't have expected a pump to have been designed to...

You have to understand @Antje77 , I'm not here to try and get anyone to resolve my diabetes problem - I feel I've already done that myself, well ....... like I said before, I'm not quite at the finishing line, but I can see it ahead. I'm more here, seeing who else is noticing similar trends...

OK, have just PM'd @Antje77 , because I didn't want to put on the post above that I actually stopped basal insulin about 18 months ago. I thought that might not be a good message to be sending out to everybody. But ......... as @Antje77 rightly said ......... folks who use insulin pumps don't...

Hi @Antje77 , must admit I haven't for a long time. But I guess I've just gotten so used to this weird routine I'm living, and the amounts I'm injecting are sizeable doses. Not having the perfect balance of basal just means I'm maybe having to inject a bit more at other times, but ......... to...

Hey @JAT1 , I promise you, I don't love this cleaning lark ! :-( But the blood sugars dictate ! Thing is ....... this isn't just some mild, or even medium rise in blood levels - my graph is up and down all day long, and only because I know how to judge the insulin doses, am I able to almost...

Hi @Simon1990t1 , Truth is ......... I still don't yet have all the answers to this, that's why (if I'm even right), I think it needs all of us to put our heads (and eyes, and noses !) together, and try find the full answer. To be honest, it really needs lab research. Stuff (scientific lab...

Part 2 (too many characters !) Which makes me think ........ that possibly, what we have always considered up until now as hay fever etc. etc., is possibly the same thing - i.e. pollen and garden material under foot during the high pollen seasons, and pollen attaching itself to our clothing...

OK, I almost don't know where to start with this, but you know what they say ........ you have to take the first step ! My apologies if this ends up being a long thread, and a little bit weird, but it's been a very long journey to get here. And I could really now do with some help from anybody...

Hello @Antje77 :) And I will, as soon as I can finish putting it together in the right way. There's quite a lot of stuff stored in the brain right now, and if I just empty it out onto the table, folks will only see a rubbish dump ! It's a bit radical, a bit out-of-the-box. And it's still a...

Hi @keishamarie it is taking a bit longer to decide how best to do this, and time is something I don't have much of at the moment. But soon. I decided best not to flood your thread, and also it might not apply in your case, your situation could be a different one. Plus, the team here have...

Folks, I've been seeing a pattern in my totally out-of-control T1 Diabetes for quite a while, and I'll explain shortly what I think I'm seeing. But, it has been a nightmare of a journey, and I'm not finished yet. The finishing line is still a little way ahead. And I could do with some help...

Now ....... I'm not wanting to hijack your thread, so I'll try not to do that ! :-) I am in the process of putting some thoughts together about the very subject you're posting about - i.e. crazy blood sugar readings, totally out-of-control, and injection doses not seeming able to correct it...

I do take that point @Celsus - but I know it shouldn't be as high as that. I think my official doses (last time there was any real stability !) were something like 16 / 22. I've dealt with this condition for a long while, and never had this - you just have to trust me there. This only...

@Celsus - thanks for that post ! Lots of information there. I think you're right to say don't ignore the Liver Dump. I am beginning to think it's heavily involved in all this, but I'm not sure that it's that alone. Maybe it's a combination of several things - Liver Dump, Resistance, and...

Greg, your description is sounding very close to what I'm getting - in this thread (Blood sugar levels - way out of control for 2 years !!) - am too new to be allowed to post a link to it. And JenP sounds like same thing. Really weird. I'll follow this thread too.

Yes, you are quite correct there ! Yes, if I manage the full 7-8 hours sleep, then I'm fasting the whole way. But seriously though, I am guilty of being one of those that eats right up till the end of the day. I do think it would be healthier to break off from eating earlier than I do, but...

Like it :D I'll see what I can do by Monday !!! Yes, fitness ain't what it was etc. But, this switch happened pretty suddenly, about 2 years ago, it wasn't really gradual. I just started to realise things were way out of control, and before that I could always keep things in check. And, like...

I wasn't aware of this 'dawn phenomenon' ! And here's me calling myself 'experienced' !!! But I never got levels as crazy as this before. Maybe I also got the dawn phenomenon over the years, but just wasn't aware of it being a thing. But this is extreme - e.g. 2 weeks ago, I was way up at...

Hi Folks, am new here, and looking for some help on some weird blood sugar levels. I'm a very experienced Type 1 Diabetic - been dealing with it for long time, and I can usually look at Carbs and know exactly how much insulin to inject. I'm not saying I always ran things perfectly - I didn't...
