I've enjoyed the holidays from work back at 8am so of course there will be no sleep for me. I'm so tired and bg good at 6.2 but as always the night before a shift I've far too many thoughts running through my head. Hope everyone is well xxx

My dsn is type 1

As I said on your other post exercise definitely helps with my insulin resistance. I walk. At first it raises my bg slightly but it evens out and I don't spike so much after meals the rest of the day. My dsn told me walking woukd be the first thing to help me and I wished I'd started sooner. I...

Reduce my hbA1c to 60, do 10000 steps a day and go on more dates with my hubby [emoji4]

Hi there! I was diagnosed 6.5 years ago with type 1. Shortly after this I was diagnosed with depression (related to infertility but the type 1 played a part too I'm sure). I was abusing myself through binge eating, injecting vast amounts of insulin and not looking after myself at all. I gained...

Glad to hear your back to your normal [emoji4]

Ah I see. Thanks for explaining I didn't realise that [emoji4]

I realise everyone is different and experiences hypers differently but if I had a bg of 26.5 getting off the sofa and walking to the bathroom would feel strenuous to me and I'd have awful chest pains. If I'm over 14mmol I take a correction dose and try to relax. It may not be the right thing to...

I thought it was dangerous to exercise with levels over 14mmol?

Merry Christmas Martin! Hope you enjoy your day!

If you're splitting your levimer doses and your dropping before bedtime maybe try reducing the morning dose? Or your ratio with your evening meal?

I love Martins idea! The girl will find that lovely and no pressure as she can stay friends if she chooses! Your English is very good and your moods as you describe them are very normal for teens. Your doing great [emoji4]

Hey @TB99 thanks for sharing your story! I was diagnosed 6 years ago and for 5.5 of those I lived in denial. I've gone days without testing. Just injecting randomly if I felt high or eating when I felt low. I've also been away and not had my insulin for almost 12hours but thankfully I didn't...

This was one of the first things I was told when I was diagnosed. I remember how odd I thought the dsn was I'd just been given this awful news and she was harping on about socks (more so the importance of looking after my feet but the socks advice stuck out)! But it makes sense not having a seam...

A warm mince pie with ice cream [emoji4]

My consultant and dsn have both recommended a pump last March due to the DP and my numbers on work shifts but I asked for more time to try and work with mdi. I'm really bad with numbers/ratios etc and it takes me a while to get the hang of things so I've been very reluctant to go forward with...

The rise starts around 3-4am I normally wake around 6am and correct then. What is waking rise? I sometimes go higher when I get up and start getting ready but assumed I didn't correct enough?

How do i check my basal daytime dose is correct if I'm always correcting when I wake due to dawn phenomenon? I understand we need to have had our last bolus injection 5 hours prior to beginning so should I take my correction earlier around 3am? Or do I just have to miss the morning section of...

Thanks @Brunneria and @azure it's reassuring I'm not alone in finding the treatments differ in response! Also I'm type 1 on levimer and novorapid incase there was any confusion [emoji4]

I've found that if I'm hypo a carton of apple juice with 22g brings me up nicely and my level is stable afterwards on the libre graph. But if I take 4 jelly babies 20g I shoot up and continue to rise for hours afterwards. So tonight I took a hypo and tried just 2 jelly babies and it brought me...
