Yes in fact I wrote "usually".

That is an emergency! You must call 999 and be ready to eat rapid carbs such as sugar. 1 IU of insulin usually lowers 2.0 mmol/l and metabolises 15 grams of carbs hence 8 x 15 = 120 grams of carbs. You need to closely monitor your BG before taking the carbs, insulin should peak 90-150 minutes...

Hi Kim, don't worry, it's going to get better. I think you should speak with a doctor/specialist nurse soon, anyway I might just give you some advice (but do seek specialist help) just as "rule of thumb". So first one should consider your age, weight, gender and daily physical exercise (female...

I find Libre very good especially during meals, my postprandial peaks got much better and consequently my hab1c. :D

A quick update on Tresiba and exercise. So apparently Tresiba would not have given me any big problems after moderate-intense exercise. I switched from 70 min fast walking/day to 2x 40 min fast cycling/day; this usually would have made me reducing Levemir about 20-30% in the first and second...

Sorry but I couldn't make a Zip folder (cause of the name of some files)

and these too

here some more (sorry if any double copy)

Hi, sorry for the delay. Here the first 10 files.

Hi, I have an Aviva Nano that I keep as spare one. I was wondering whether I should keep the batteries in or out. Batteries in - pro: internal battery always charged; cons: batteries may leak, batteries may exhaust. Batteries out - pros: save on batteries, no leakage possible; con...

I have collected a few more papers on the topic of Degludec and exercise. If anyone wants them just drop me a line please. Cheers

Hi Josephine. I am currently giving a go to Tresiba since I had your very same problems; My needs use to change quite a lot without any apparent reason. This actually might be due to changing in absorption rate, see this paper...

In Italy, San Marino and (maybe) Vatican city it's free for whomever is on a pump. In some regions of Italy it's free (paid by the Nat Health System) for every Type1. I have some info about France and Spain but I couldn't verify. Cheers

Yes but I just wanted to point out that the casting effect (build up) is not linear i.e. day 2 +25% ca, day 3 +10% (form 0). This info is quite important to us - btw I don't get why they somewhat put the minimal interval between injection at 8 hrs (I do know that in clinical trials they had not...

When one sleeps GH peaks after ca. 1hr and returns to normality after 6-7 hrs, this most likely what causes the dawn phenomenon. Cheers

Hi, I had suffered the same problem when I was assuming many carbs per day, as a male adult one should get 260 carb gr/day for a diabetic it's advised no more than 130 gr/day. I reduced to ca. 50-70 years ago and everything improved a lot.

Hi, I think you are on the 0.2 IU/Kg which might be right for you - many people need more than that (up to 0.4 IU per Kg) but I would NOT change your dosage that much without medical advice. I think that sometimes just a few IU might change a lot - as suggested by robert72 it is indeed a good...
