Ive had minor/small tattoos done previously with no effect on BGs with being T1 just continue with regular routine & beware of any symptoms during & after the work. A body suit seems a long process & painful for me!! good luck with it!!

I've been on Toujeo for 2wks now & things are going very well. My BGs are 98% in range now despite interrupted routine & eating habits. Have adjusted dosage twice now to control BGs better & so still learning. All's good Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

Working out myself too at gym, I only inject bolus if levels slightly high before workout as you may know, insulin breaks down data for muscles to feed on. Otherwise muscles break down & BGs rise from lack of insulin in body. Just keep to what works with you & don't feel intimidated or uncomfy...

You have basal just once-twice a day, depending on your routine & having basal at meal times or for correcting during the day. Basal lasts between 18-36hrs & bolus can last 2-4 hours (depending on type of insulin)

I'm similar to thinking of foods most of the time!! Insulin can make you hungry anyway!! Have you tried distracting yourself, doing something else outside away from temptation? Exercise, shopping or being with friends for coffee/chat?

Hope the information helps you & for you to control your BGs well enough while exercising. What type of exercise are you doing?

What bike do you ride & what's your average distance & speed? Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

In my understanding of exercise & insulin use: if the exercise is mild you can just reduce bolus insulin before & after the exercise as exercise can effect blood levels 24hrs afterwards, hence having hypo's the next day if you're not careful. Though with strenuous/regular exercise it is best to...

I average 20 miles. Made it to Sleaford btw!! Usually back roads or bridle paths. You near to Lincoln? Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

Hey @poacher_joe I live in Lincoln & enjoy road cycling too, planning to cycle to Sleaford today (Thurs) lol. Though being up at this time 1.50am I'll take it carefully, not to tire myself out too quickly!! I've been cycling for quite a while going all around Lincoln towns/villages & further...

Obviously having a hypo is exhausting for everyone. Keep an eye on her making sure she doesn't slip into another while asleep. Ensure he BGs are ok & raised enough before going back to sleep. Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

What do you wish to know of this? I've got plenty of experience of these in my history of 21yrs as diabetic!!

Hey @Clockhouse thanks for the info. I find my BG's not well controlled because each day is different with me & the work I do is variable in how much exercise I do or energy/sugars I burn. Having started with Toujeo, I reduced the amount by 2 units having been on Lantus, however I remained high...

I've collected toujeo pens this morning. Is there any side effects to be aware of in the first week? Just taking it once at night from tonight, all going well. Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

Had reply to message left at contour. They'll send meter when they're in stock, having such high demand for it!! Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

I've now (re)registered for a meter & on the site it says to be expected in 28 days!! I also rang & left message of previous request, probably be as long for a reply to the message as it was for you @Shar67 to receive a meter!! Thanks

Having flown long haul east & west, I've changed my timings once over there, despite over lapse or delayed. If splitting it, stick to morning time & evening when there (GMT), as body clock won't change strange away either, so take your evening/night insulin, then the next day change to the time...

Wishing to get a free meter of the Contour Next USB, having requested it from their website earlier in May, I haven't received confirmation or progress of it being dispatched etc. Does anyone know of the best means of doing this, or had similar experience recently? If you could provide...

Hey totsy, I'm starting toujeo soon too & was told to use the same dose as I am on Lantus with Toujeo. Though injecting twice with antus to just once on Toujeo (complicates it I know!!) I'll need some info too, so will keep an eye on this thread!!

I'm transfering onto Toujeo shortly, having seen DSN today. Not been told a great deal in terms of changes to look for or effects, just ensured I understood the insulin's method of working & its flexibility. Any advice on it would be appreciated, from new or current users. Been on Lantus for...
