Have you tried calibrating with the solution you get? I haven’t actually done his myself but think that should show if it’s reading in right range?

I had a review on tue as I’m newly diagnosed. They did a health review for first bit which I was told will not be shared, they came up with some recommendations theyll give to work (like fixed meal times, place to inject) then went thru some questions my mgr had raised. They didn’t ask for...

Have you got an illness mgt leaflet or anything? I was given one (I’ll try and attach pic!) and yes was told over 0.6mmol to start to worry ;) I’ve tested occasionally and get around 0.2, I believe it increases slightly naturally when you’ve not eaten but I’m not sure on that!!

Glad you are doing ok now :)

Don’t have that sorry, limited info on my discharge note. I don’t actually know what my BG were like at admission.

At admission pH was 6.8 and bicarbonate 3.7

Thanks :) I guess I’m just grasping at straws, I’m a very data driven person and I struggle with the somewhat lack of definitive yes/no answers! on 3 if lantus was too high would I be hypo-ing more? Or need less basal more bolus and stay at reasonable BG? Does that make any sense?!

Yes I assumed t1 as I’ve heard of honeymooning in this forum :) thanks!

Thank you. Maybe I’m grasping at straws ;)

Hi guys wonder if you can help. I was diagnosed t1 in August. I had acute dka and was in hospital for a week, half of which in icu. it was a shock and tbh when they said diabetes I assumed t2 before they said - I’m 37 and overweight (Bmi was around 42). I have tested negative for antibodies...

Looking for some advice pls. I’m newly diagnosed t1 (August) and have been contacted to see if I’m interested in doing a trial of Abatacept which may preserve beta cells. Would trial for 6m with regular blood tests. Looking for some steer on what sort of info I should be asking if I do make...

If you fancied it making nut butters at home is really easy - just hurl nuts in a food processor and whizz up :) in a previous life (pre d) I’ve made my own Nutella doing this and then adding cocoa/melted choc. I think I used a mix of cashews and hazelnuts if i remember. I do know it was yummy...

I’m newly diagnosed so don’t really know about ongoing levels - but love your philosophy and hope I can adopt something similar :)

Hi I was diagnosed t1 in August. It’s a massive shock isn’t it? It is hard to adjust - some days I think I’m doing ok and other days I cry. But hope it’ll get better with time :) well done on managing your BG, I just try and think of every good BG day as a little less chance of developing any...

Well done!!

I shall have to see if I can locate any in the U.K. I love finding new cheeses. Mmmmmm [emoji893][emoji893]

Was chatting to my dad earlier who’s just come back from Amsterdam, he as telling me about his cheese factory visit where they sampled some insane number of cheeses. Not jealous at all (ok that’s a complete lie...!)

I think I will :) I’m not lchf but am now a lot more conscious of my carbs since my recent t1 diagnosis so am def med-lowish carbs now ;)
