I've never come across bolusing 10-15 mins before eating - how does this help and is it suitable for someone using injections (on Novorapid)

I tend to range between 5-7 before breakfast. When I had the omelette on Monday I just had bacon in it but it still raised :(

Hi all, Usually my levels are pretty good before lunchtime after having breakfast and I'm never high in the morning. Over the past few days it's been around 9-10 at lunchtime and I don't really understand why. I tried to have an omelette and tested each hour but my levels raised to 13+ pretty...

I become very, very grumpy and snappy with people! My hands shake a lot and I get a pounding heart, sometimes I feel a bit drunk with the shaking and dizziness.. oh the joys.

@himtoo I'm being registered tonight actually to go on the DAFNE course in August - really looking forward to it! I was at the hospital for ketones in January and a diabetic specialist there said she learned so much even though she's a specialist! @noblehead I'm really pleased, I felt really...

@himtoo Yep they've remained stable - sometimes when I used to have omelettes I'd ate a piece of toast maybe that's what made it unstable, my bs isn't very good with bread

Checked again at 9:40 and going to at 10:40, was 7.3 and I didn't bolus anything. I put the carbs into my meter and it said give nothing @himtoo 10:40 result was 6.7

I will thanks @himtoo! Just did my 2 hour check and bs was 7, started as 5 but still not high

Ate an omelette with bacon this morning and going to check between every 1-2 hours, will let you know what happens!

My diabetic nurse told me we tend to need most insulin at breakfast because of how it rises. Diabetes is a dark art!

This is what happens to me - I give about 4 units, the same amount of units I give with granola. Yet with the omelette I'll be higher than I would have if I ate the granola! So weird..

Thank you @Mrsass and @himtoo as well for your support and advice ️xx

I think I will try that at the weekend maybe and check hourly my levels as I love omelette with bacon or cheese. I have no sauces with it too. I take 8 units of lantus usually at 10pm every night @Spiker @LucySW

Hi all, thanks for the replies. I am a healthy weight 5'4 and 8st 5, im going to try increase my exercise, I think my worries are rooted more in self esteem problems. I'm glad you guys all think it's ok though! @Daibell Hi! I have Lizi's Granola which is slow releasing and low GI and low sugar...

I was in the shower and I opened my eyes and everything was black so, obviously terrified I got out the shower crawling on the floor looking for the door handle, opened the door and passed out from the hypo! I had the embarrassment of my family having to rush and pick up their naked child/sister...

@JThomo13 Hey! I'm also 17 and have had T1 for nearly 3 years too! I feel the exact same - I don't really know anyone else with type 1 diabetes and it's been a complete rollercoaster so far. I'd be really happy to get in contact with you as I need the support too :) xx

@Spiker Its weird - I can take 4 units for granola and yoghurt, and 4 units for an omelette and when I check my blood sugar before I have lunch, its always more stable with the granola? I eat at 6:45 then have lunch at 12:45 - is the long gap a contributing factor? I'd just love to have...

@Spiker @Charles Robin Thank you both! I'm getting help in the next few weeks to deal with how I feel about my body image and hopefully then, I won't worry about my diet and insulin in take. I take between 20-23 units including both my Lantus and Novorapid and that feels like a lot to me! Is...

I'm going on this course in August and am interested in how other people found it - I'm also quite shy and awkward but looking forward to learning more.

Thank you!
