No family history of any diabetics..only cancers :D Everyone was shocked I got it. I just found out recently that Diabetes is one of the oldest known diseases, an egyptian manuscript mentions of 'passing too much urine'. Someone later commented that "life (with diabetes) is short...

I like this one!

Doctor: -Miss, sorry to tell you this will not be pleasurable. Are you ready? Patent: -Yes. Doctor: -That will be 2000 pounds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Fallenstar :lol:

Yes, fruits has not that much carbs.. I used to think that fruits really send sugars up, it does, some of them. It feels wrong somehow to see BS staying on the same line after eating an apple. Red grapes lower the sugar..that is something even more weird..in some way I thought apple did...

Be carefull F! Inner arm, inner thighs are dangerous places to inject..it has got veins in there and if insulin goes straight into vein you will simply collapse. As you almost experienced yourself :D Carefull.. Why would you need such quick absorbsion?

Hi jimmytwoshoes :D I think you would find Dafne really usefull. Ask about it your diabetes care specialist. And yes, it teaches you how much insulin you need for the amount of carbs you are about to eat and much much more :thumbup:

OMG :crazy: What was that about cheese..and queen..and everything else :think: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Any chances you're still on your 'honeymoon'?

Physicians did actually check the theory. If you follow dafne you know your patterns and ratios really well and you know what caused the hypo, they teach you that. I had to edit this post too, sorry AMBrennan. P.S. I understand now what you were saying.

Re: What are your H test results? I had a test on 28th October which showed 7.9% But 5 days later I had to do it again and it showed 7.6%.

So it's been my first day and I need to say, Ishjohno, you are right. There so many myths here about how things work but everything is explained logically in Dafne. So yes, I enjoyed it a lot and looking forward for tomorrow. I had to edit this post because I understood the importance of...

I am diabetic for 1 year and 4 months now and I think my honeymoon has finished now.. I say 'think' because I am not sure..it is really hard to say when exactly it finishes. But anyways there's nothing sudden:pancreas make less and less and insulin intake increase little by little over a long...

Hello people, Tomorrow is my first day on DAFNE. So i was wondering if anyone would like to give me advise on how to take the most from it.. Or if anyone has some interesting story related to DAFNE..or if anyone learned something really usefull..or met some great people who became a great...

Moonstone, sorry to hear you are feeling ill and tired..that explains a lot. Is there anything we can do to cheer you up? :) To be honest the thing about apples does not interest me anymore..i was caught up in a mixture of surprise and excitement finding something new , I felt proud and I...

Moonstone, i can eat apple not having a hypo and my blood stays still, while if I eat something without carbs at all, like meat or cheese, it goes up fast. I hate lucozade or anything too sugary and apple definatelly has more then 10 g of carbs.

I am very good at changing the needle on novorapid and lantus, i change it with every injection, but i'm very bad at changing lancets..:) i keep the same for month.. AMBrennan, we keep the same lancets not because we want to save money for NHS, but because personaly for me, it annnoys me to...

Pineapple is good too..interesting..pine-apple:) Smidge :) You too..Wow I feel good about this, I wish I had known this before. Now everytime I need snack I'll just eat apples. How cool is that :) Interesting..why..i guess i'll need to read what Brennan posted about fructose, but not today...

I knew apples never affected my blood sugar much. I took a test at night time to prove it and here it is: (I took usuall 10 units basal before night.) 20.52PM - 3.8mmol/L After I tested I ate 1 apple. No insulin. 22.09pm - 3.3mmol/L After I tested I ate 1 more apple. No insulin. 02.46am -...

Wow mish! You are a low-carber and looks like you're doing great! Happy for you! Let us know how you will manage to avoid sugar, maybe you will inspire us too:) When I was low-carbing I could not taste any chocolate (even high cocoa percentage), because then i couldn't stop, i had to have more...
