Hi guys, anyone with the above machine , do you get id say 10-15% failures? Near the end of the casette with 4-5 left i usually get cassette error , replace cassette Sometimes even if there is enough blood it would still say too small Sometimes wen blood is on the strip it displays meter...

interesting, when i did go out i only drank vodka and diet coke and my sugar level when tested was 25! i have a feeling they are pouring coke in and being drunk its so hard to tell lol

So.. i dont drink much but when going out wat do you do insulin wise? Say one pint or 8 pints what would you do? Thanks!

It can, excess heat can reduce its effectiveness

hmmm afaik ( fairly new to basal/bolus) it stabilizes your levels for the day so would have though you should do some? otherwise levels will rise - im sure an experienced DB will tell you best ;)

wait what insulin are you on haha, is the one you forgot long acting i.e lantus?

i take them occasionally, though they are very expensive for what you get in terms on protein. depending on where i am and if its near insulin time, i try aim for a low carb high protein bar? or a normal carbs bar/protein if i will do some insulin to counter. whats the reason? you could try...

@MrBloominggrumpy when you forget what do you do next morning?

is 8 times really necessary though? what are you testing for, surely there will be days where it is in perfect control with carb counting and routine? i have had similar problems with the accuchek mobile cassettes (a percentage of tests always display "too little blood or error re-test" and...

i was on two injections for a very long time 10 + years (im only 25) and hated the the thought of more injections. due to lots of hypos/highs and gym it was very difficult to eat what i needed and stay within a good range. moving onto 4 injections has really helped and you can eat what you...

how much would i be looking at to purchase a CGM device? edit: found the price.. very expensive lol Initial cost - for the hardware such as the receiver and transmitter - varies from around £1,000 to £2,500. If you have a newer Medtronic pump you may find CGMS is already integrated or may be...

Hi all, been on lantus/novorapid foir about a month or two now and am still struggling with morning sugars, i do my glargine at about 10pm and eat dinner from anywhere around 6-9.30pm with novorapid to match.. sometimes even slightly over to try and curb the morning sugars but no difference...

when do they usually occur? main reason i hypo was over predicting my carbs for food and doing the quick acting shot

what is your current calorie/carbs intake including diet/food and what exercise are you doing each day? my opinion on these "quick weight loss" products is they work for a while (if at all) but its not something you can carry on for any amount of time as rapid/minimal calorie shake diets cause...

what diet wise has changed since the levels were bad? any change in exercise as well? my question is how can we be sure insulin is to blame? has all other variables remained constant?

i pretty much lost all hypo awarenes due to having too many of them in short time... now im on novo/lantus im starting to slowly get the warning signs as im trying to run slightly high 6--9 sugars. ,my doc said it was because i was running "low" constantly i couldnt tell. had some really bad...
