Before I was diagnosed type 1 I used to be mid 20s every day for most of the day. I always felt tired and really couldn't be bothered with things at all. Since been on insulin I don't tend to get many highs now except after food waiting for the insulin work. I get dead legs on a night time if...

I loved the Dafne course. My bloods were around 13-16 on a morning and 23+ on a night. I went onto insulin just before the course so my agreed aim on the week of the course was to get the night readings down to below 20 every night. Then set the goal for the next weeks after etc and bring it to...

Iv always been told if you have carbs you take insulin if it's over 1cp. When I go to the footy on an away day I can snack all day but just take x amount for whatever I have at the time On a night time depending on how much Iv had for tea or if Iv eaten early I might have a snack late on so...

If you have the app on your phone you will see at the bottom that it tells you how many days till you change your sensor. Each one you have for 14 days. When you get to the last day it will count the hours down. I started on a Wednesday with the libre but Iv got it to a Sunday now to change as I...

7 for me this morning. Highest in days

I was only diagnosed type 1 in August 2019. For the year before then I was being seen as type 2 as I seemed to be in the honeymoon period. I must have just stopped producing my own insulin and bloods just went so high I averaged 10-15 on a morning and 20-30 on a night Best thing was been told I...

Definitely normal Before I was confirmed type 1 I was finger pricking all the time and one night me and my partner decided to test our bloods at thw same time before and 2 hours after food Before she was in the range of a non diabetic and I was a couple up. We both ate the same food and portions...

The only twitching I get is usually if my bloods are high. I had my tea the other night and my insulin but I later had quite a bit of caramel dairy milk, I totally forgot to take anything with it so when I went to bed I massively spiked, my legs were going crazy so had a couple of shots then I...

Very strange how quick it drops. I can see you go high then jusy shoot down. I do tend to find it can drop quickly. Like I say it normally depends on distance and how hard you cycle It could be to do with your morning lantus but I wouldn't know 100% This is my day today on the bike I had 2...

You my have covered it depending on how you go today. I cycle alot. I was out on Wednesday and I did 46 miles Before heading out I eat things like grenola bars and intake some sugars. I stop every hour to check bloods and usually I'm heading low. Throughout my ride I just take on jelly babies...

Not sure how long you are checking after food but it looks very soon after eating I don't take readings for a couple of hours after eating. The novarapid pens take time to work which is why you have them 15 mins before a meal. Then food will spike till the pen kicks in and brings it lower...

I'm glad it wasn't back in October when this all started then. Mine was 79 but got it down to around 50 since then thankfully

Contact them. They will tell you if its fine to go in and see them The libre was the best thing Iv done so far, it has so many advantages. Iv been using it 5 weeks now

I wish mine were always just 8.5 haha Before my diagnosis of type 1 my morning readings were 16+ and night times mid 20s+ Diet control should help and there are plenty of people on here who can help with questions you may have

Iv never been told to eat low carb but usually the advice is to just eat healthy as you should. With having insulin you can use that to help so it's ok whereas type 2s don't generally have insulin so need to moderate what their intake Most days I probably have around 80-140g of carbs max but if...

Have a little look around on here.. I was reading on someone who was on day 27 of having it. Some others have just had it for a week. I suppose its about how bad it hits you

Probabky around 8-10 times a day depending on the day. I have the libre so it makes it easier when out If it's a normal day il check.... During the night Morning Mid morning Before dinner Mid afternoon Before tea Mid evening Before bed If I go out on the bike or play football it will be even...

Now I'm on the libre I can check my levels more and Iv seen my overnight drops me low all the time but Iv found the dose of levemir I'm on is correct as when I wake I'm at a good bg level I can have tea at 7 so when I'm off to bed I'm still high but Iv had my basal dose at 8 aswell as my qa...

Iv not long started on the libre. On my third patch now and Iv not had any issues like you have. Maybe it's the sensor and you need it replacing? Possibly ring Freestyle and speak to them about it? I know readings can be a little different as the time delay on them can be 15 mins I generally...

Yes definitely. Just before I started insulin in October I had the flu for the first time. My bloods rarely dropped below 20 for a week. I wished I had insulin to reduce them
