Lol I was thinking prediabetes... ooppsie

Hello. Are there any tips for getting my basal where it needs to be. Is it dependent on amount of carbs I eat. The reason I ask is because, I was on Levemir until 1 month ago, I was on 40 units in a 24 hour period of it, 20 on a morning, 20 on a teatime. All was well. I got put on Glargine...

You're not diabetic at this moment in time. Keep your blood checker and check once or twice every few months. 3 hours after eating carbs bare in mind. Non diabetics can spike as high at 7.8 or maybe higher im not to sure, after eating a substantial amount of carbs or in someone who is sensitive...

I really enjoy the Alpro coconut one, only 2.6g per 100ml, have it in cereal, especially my branflakes and walnuts.

Glad your feeling better :) it's horrible being poorly with diabetes

Wow this is crazy! I used to take cod liver oil capsules but I thought do I really believe the hype behind them!

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was going well until the following happened and I don't even know why, it's like my insulin decided it was going on strike :joyful: 12 units of Novorapid correction!!!!! Keep at it @karen8967 you'll get rid of those hypos soon enough! I've been told to...

Common myth, I used to assume lager or beer etc held no carbs, boy was I wrong. 3 beers is 45g carbs

I too have had this dilemma, and for me what works is as follows. So because when I have a treat I have to be a greedy bas****, I eat half of a pizza to myself, theres about 80g carbs in my half of pizza. Now when I used to eat this, my sugars about 2 hours later, great, 5.5 or something, then...

Preferably if it was me, I would investigate what it is causing me to go low, and adjust to stop it happening or less frequently in the future :) Tea with sugar in is fine to raise your sugars, BUT if its hot you can't drink the mug quickly, I would opt for drinking full sugar drink or eating...

Your definition contradicts your end statement. It states it is a fact, that is questionable. The dawn phenomenon is that such a thing because there are many possible reasons as to why it occurs which are frequently questioned P.s, friendly debate :)

Exactly why its called a phenomenon, i.e a known fact

This happened to me more and more the less I cared about breakfast as a type 1. I used to eat 1 apple before work on a morning and have good blood sugars when I checked my sugar 3 hours later. I havent eaten an apple with insulin in a month and my sugar has risen all the time on a morning when...

To be honest it depends most times, but its stated to work upto 3 hours and stay in your system 5 but after 3 hours it's weak and doesn't have much effect. My sugar is 14.3 and ive just taken 6 units of correction, as for me personally it takes more the higher I go in my dosing. If I was 10, I...

The threads been great to follow seeing all the different food, be great if there was one where all diabetics share photos of their meals, bet that would be interesting to see the differences between us all

That's great, I eat a lot of complex carbs too but those meals of mine aren't worthy of a photo lol Enjoy your tea nomnom

Hi where you say you inject 15 minutes before eating, is that with fast acting? If so what are the benefits
