Hey, really sorry to hear about your issues. Obviously I won't be able to "solve" anything in this post - but I would say that management of diabetes shouldn't mean that can't keep your bloods in a reasonable range (most of the time) and that you shouldn't be needing to restrict food to achieve...

Hey thanks. Firstly, yeah as I said somewhere above, my impression of the book is that its not very well evidenced at all. On "sensitivity" question, I was trying to say that the authors were claiming that eating more healthy foods that were high in carbs would lead to you having a higher...

Hey, yeah I'm T1. I wouldn't have any experience of living as a T2 and being vegan. I think the authors argument are that if you eat lots of carbs (healthy ones) you train you're body to be sensitive to them and so as a T1D you'd need less insulin per meal and as a T2D you'd tackle insulin...

Hey, I actually do eat vegan - sorry everyone - and I've listened to a few episodes of the podcast from those guys so here's my two cents. I largely agree that their approach falls into the category of vegan people making unsupported health claims (aka. "vegan propaganda"). The plans good...

Hey, yeah I'd say the first thing to check is whether you have 'NFC' switched on on your phone. There's normally a toggle button for it in the quick pull-down settings you see when you drag down to see your notifications - but if you can't find it there, just open Settings and then search for...

Just to add one more, my T1D onset was in the first spring of COVID following what I thought was a throat infection but now think might have been COVID (who knows though - i mean a persistant cough isn't exactly something out of the ordinary with a throat infrection). This was before antigen...

in the end we managed to keep my bloods up just by eating...a lot. could have been much worse - though in the next emergency I'm packing better snacks.

hahaha just saw your profile pic. it's a classic style.

Yeah, the noticing it quick part of this story kept it from being a really rubbish day. We live pretty close to hospital too, so we were there just as the bloods started crashing.

hahaha, I would so watch that movie. Yeah, I wish I'd had better food at hand yesterday, a nice big risotto or dominos pizza would have been so much better than running gels (pretty much only grabbed running gels). urgh!

Hi all, I thought I'd share a story here of a mistake I made yesterday just as a wee warning for others. The mistake was simple, it only took 1 second of not thinking, but it ended with my wife having to rush me to A&E. Backstory So for the last week my basal insulin requirement has been...

Hey, I was actually really interested in finding the same answer to your question, which it doesn't seem like we've got to here...right? I'll add my example to the string and see if it might help elicit some answer: Lets say I'm normally on 10 Lantus and at breakfast normally take 10...
