Scooby You'll be surprised, hazard a guess that each removal have left something like an inch cut, and deep. I was surprised the impact my broken finger had both on my BG's and the course of treatment I had :shock: At first I thought that the increase was purely because I had been flicked...

It's a long time since I've swapped from one insulin to another... Apidra as about the same lick in time, peaks about the same time, but burns out the system a lot quicker than humalog, and it sounds what you say you have two things going on in the main. Firstly are your insulin/carb ratio...

Scooby Your rise in your blood glucose could well be due to the surgery you had, it's a natural reaction when the body is put under stress which surgery is... I'm T1 but when I broke my finger a couple of years ago is was surprising how it impacted on my blood glucose, I had I to increase my...

Another couple to add to Phoenix list of considerations.. Have you changed the type of meal you've eating for you evening meal! High protein, high fat or foods like pasta can impact on the blood glucose a lot later than one thinks! Perhaps do some basal testing overnight on a couple, avoid...

I would look into making some of you own cakes, deserts and even ice-creams... As this way you can substitute different ingredients to lesson the impact, such as sweetener instead of sugar, cakes swapping some of the flour for Ground Almonds I've even made a meringues with sweetener, filled...

Louise I'm so sorry to hear this, sending you lots of ((((hugs))))

I haven't heard that phrase for a long time where T1 is concerned not by a diabetic health care professional at least... Last time I was giving any advice on this score is when I moved onto basal/bolus regime upon I was told if I didn't eat any carbs, for goodness don't inject! So nope you...

As usual I can't give specific answers, only an idea to what might be happening... AB's themselves don't drop blood glucose levels, but because they tackle the infection that can cause our blood glucose levels to rise, which give the impression that they can drop them! I see that you started...

If you just adding a small amount of milk to whiten your coffee or tea, then it's not necessary to carb count this, But the milk that you add to breakfast cereal, drink on it's own (including in all milk coffee etc) add to sauces etc you will need to take this into consideration within carb...

I've had my Accu-Check Combo now for almost 2 years (before that I had the Spirit pump) And I really don't know what your grip is all about.. Bluetooth is problematic at all, unless you want to have your pump 20ft away from you, or your battery power is getting low! But if it gives you a...

The work load is more to do with the sheer amount of testing required in pinning down basal rates, then testing for your insulin/carb ratios, and has you work out what exercises, foods etc react and what bolus or temp basal adjustment is best for what situation. But don't panic to much, it does...

Different clinic's have a different protocol the start of pumping. Some clinics start their pumpers of using saline for several days or perhaps a week, so when you inject (with the exception of your background) you also make a bolus with the pump Other Clinic's prefer to go live straight away...

More pumps than patients, ermmm me thinks someone telling you a little porkie there... There could be several reasons behind your daughters wait... But from what you say, it's probably because of two things.. First is scheduling of training and the second being allowing you time for both the...

Thank you all for your lovely comments.. They both had a medal each and a large joint framed Certificate... I have to admit, seeing Jones, coping with it all did bring a tear to my eye, he's come such a long way since we've had him, and there were many times in the early days that I pondered...

I've just got home from a couple of very exciting days in London. Yesterday the PDSA presented Ellie and Jones my two dogs with The Prestigious PDSA Gold Medal... The PDSA Gold Medal is presented for Bravery and Devotion above and beyond Duty, it is known as the highest award to bestowed on an...

Have you contacted your local newspaper, perhaps they might run a little article for the new support group or at least put it in their 'what's on' section...

Penu I think you mean basal settings, not 6 basal profiles, vibe only got 4 different programmable basal profiles... Tip about changing settings in the basal profile, I'm assuming you just got the one profile set up at the moment and this is the one you working on! Set up a second profile...

A couple of questions.. Are you remembering to 'prime' the cannula each you change? Check the book in the box, to see how much you need (the 13mm tenderlink needs, 0.7u) when you prime the cannula using your remote/handset, to keep everything in check, use the bolus wizard menu and enter the...

It sounds like you've had a bit of a stomach bug... If you T2, diet controlled then the likely hood of going into DKA is pretty slim, a T1 diabetic in similar circumstances, would implement the 'sick days rules' which is check BG and Ketones status to determine which line of the Sick Day rules...

using the Insulin u/per kg is only a starting guide to how much insulin is likely to be needed... Levimer and Lantus actually have different u/per kg if I remember rightly Levimer is slightly more than lantus... Can't see how you can use, u/per kg as an indicator of pancreas function! It's...
