Hi I have just checked my levels three hours after a low carb lunch and they are currently 13.4. Normally I would correct with 2 or 3 units of humalog, but I shall be working out in an hour and that is guaranteed to drop me. As an experiment I am going to skip the correction just this once and...

I have just finished taking Forza Raspberry K2 (one months supply) I would never purchase again, they did not aid in weight loss at all. I was using in conjunction with HIIT training and healthy eating and was hoping for the extra energy they are supposed to supply - which they didn't. The only...

Thanks for replying John. I will give it a bash from tomorrow morning. If I find it intolerable with water I will alternate with skimmed milk :) Karen

Hi , those results are amazing well done. May I ask what you use to make your shakes with? Milk or water? Thanks Karen

Hi I'm on week 3 of T25 Alpha stage and I am loving it. I am hypoing more than I did with Insanity and have been able to reduce my insulin a little. I usually just have a protein shake afterwards or a milkshake made with sugar free strawberry Crusha if I will be eating soon after. I haven't seen...

Thank you everyone for replying. My levels have been high since I had a back injury at Christmas (MRI shows degenerated prolapsed disc) which left me unable to exercise. I mention this as I use exercise as a tool to control my levels and lower my insulin requirement. I have definitely been...

Hi Everyone For the past few months on and off I have been suffering with incredibly annoying itchy shins, mostly at night, disrupting my sleep and making a mess of my legs. I have not changed laundry products, and I use E45 and Diprobase but they don't help lessen the itch. Has anyone else had...

Hi I've been doing Insanity, its brilliant. I found that for the first few weeks I had the most hypos than in all of my 15yrs of being Type 1. I do it after work around 6pm as it takes me ages to recover from it (red face!) so as long as my levels were under twelve I didn't get high. The few...

Hello there Just posted in a different area before finding this! I have had the book for months (bought it after watching the Horizon programme) and finally did my 1st fast yesterday. I actually found it quite easy, the only thing that happened was that I hypo'd as I had expected because I had...

Hello there I have had the book for months (bought it after watching the Horizon programme) and finally did my 1st fast yesterday. I actually found it quite easy, the only thing that happened was that I hypo'd as I had expected because I had no idea how many units of insulin to cut my night...

Hi littlewolf, welcome :D Thanks for the advice, I am almost out of the Lizzies so was trying to establish what to buy next, I don't actually enjoy the taste that much and would far prefer two weetabix. Maybe I will spend half an hour in the cereal aisle at Tesco at lunch trying to analyse...

Hi An update from yesterday: Today I injected two extra units and had my injection 20 mins before the exact same breakfast 1hr pp 10.0 2hr pp 7.9! Thankyou for the advice, it certainly has made a significant difference to my readings this morning! :clap: Fingers crossed this continues Karen

Hi Smidge Thankyou for replying. I did wonder about the low carb element but , was thinking it wouldn't really make that much impact as I am only having a tblspn , if I get the same results tomorrow I will try Dorsets, which one is it that you get? I have seen a few different ones in Tesco. I...

Thankyou for repying , I will try that tomorrow morning and see what happens. Will inject as soon as I wake up. I won't be having a high fat breakfast, just cereal usually.

Hi If I don't eat then I stay under 10 usually. Sometimes my bg rises but not significantly compared to when I eat breakfast I usually have 1.5units - 2units to 10 gram carbs I'm confused and hungry! :cry:

Hi Everyone I am wondering what to do next regarding lowering my bg. I am Type 1 and take MDI Levemir (split dose) and Humalog. This am at 7am I was 8.3 great for me as I have been in the teens of late when waking but increased by background by 20%. I had a small breakfast of two tablespoons...

Hi I follow several Type 1's , there is an online chat every weds eve which is very informative I'm @kareeta :D

I will check a different pen tonight and see if it makes a difference (they are disposable) If not , tomorrow I will go back on Humalog, I can't be having to take more insulin its just ridiculous. I've managed to lose half a stone lately through carb reduction and exercise and more insulin will...

Nor real scientific ratio i'm afraid, I generally have 2 units to every 10g carb Same again for the correction doses, usually 1unit will drop me one point over the hour, but if i'm really high like today I just inject more (5units) and hope that I lower. Thankyou Karen

Thanks! :D
