Reactions to activity occurs up to 24hrs afterwards depending on various things. But not known to last up to 48hrs!! Keep eye on BGs & lower novo a little for meals. Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

I've done this years ago, being the first for me & it's such a thrilling, exciting, worthwhile experience to be done!! Well done for going through it & choosing to do for a good cause. Sure it'll go well, hoping for a lovely clear day to admire the views as you descend in the parachute

Hi all, new to this thread being male and all!! I've been binging for years & wishing to tackle it now, finally. But as I've read you've found ways of coping, getting through it & trying stuff, which I'm currently reading on, thanks. I can identify why I binge & the foods I crave for, but can't...

I find planning ahead for the day's events & meals helps, as with other things in your life. If knowing you're going to exercise at some point, you can not take so much insulin for the meal prior to exercising or if not more insulin for carbs, if you're going to sit, not do much for the rest of...

In my experience Lantus should be taken as one or two doses per day not 6!! Either take all AM doses together, reducing as required if too much & PM dose as one. In regards to the bleeding that has no effect of BGs. Having bled a lot myself & having no effect. Read more on it if required to...

I've kept a diary since diagnosis 20yrs ago!! Just recording dosages & readings for that time of day/meal. Not for snacks or some corrections. I may note a change in a column on side of page if needed. My DSN doesn't ask what's happened inbetween these, just using the info I have recorded as a...

If possible to talk to a Diabetes nurse about going on a DAFNE course or something similar, that'll help control your blood sugars when eating. FYI Carbs are what sugars in foods come from (on packaging nutrition info) check each item to see how much carbs are in that item to get an idea of the...

Injecting before consuming foods helps, if having done a DAFNE course or something like this? You should have a carb-insulin ratio (eg 1u:10g) which will help to control BGs after meals. Or if not having a correction ratio (eg 1u:2.5mmol) may help on occasions too. Just bare in mind exercise...

Habit, regular social events & friendship. Though having these in my life now I'm still stuck with the cravings & the control of BGs

These foods were of a group for me to avoid as well as those I enjoy (chocs, sweet pastries & some desserts to name a few!!)

Not specifically, the foods to avoid were breads & products which contain wheat & cereals. I've been on diets like these before & just having trouble with controlling my BGs is hard work with my lifestyle!!

Having had experience of diabetic coma, the risks are variable though life changing for some. There's health, independence, abilities in moving limbs independently, muscle strength & family commitments. I however had to rebuild my abilities & independence from being unable to walk or see clearly...

If using glucose to raise BGs check sugars before & after giving glucose. As this can reverse effect, pushing BGs higher than necessary. Leave it 10-20 mins after giving glucose to check again but ensure your husband is conscience & alert.

Unfortunately I've not been able to continue with this. Though having made me think hard of what I need to do for myself & to build power continuing with what I have, I'll try my best to compete & overcome challenges in life!!

Well it was interesting :) I won't bore you with all the details, though it waasn't totally hypnosis, just relaxation/aromatherapy to begin with. Getting grounds to begin with, from information she asked for me to provide: meds, few day's food diary, dislikes of foods/drinks & then speaking to...

Activity can push up BYe if not careful. Though hot steam or sauna can too, but you're talking about showers Lol. I've never had trouble with showering after activity & I go gym regularly. @Robity has it right as I'm concerned!!

Having been to NY myself, but on Lantus, If possible get ahead of yourself, change times before you go, though as you'll soon be jetting off, just change to the times you get there. As your body clock will change too, you may have a time of being high but continue with new times of where you're...

It depends on how confident & comfortable you are injecting in front of people. I do it all the time at the table where I'm sat, whether someone is beside me, opposite me or staring at me from another table!! I/We have to inject, as my/our medication, if they have a problem, they can look away...

For the time being things have settled with raising so high of an evening. I think exercise & carb:ins ratio helps to give a little extra or go for walk after dinner. Thanks again to all
