Try the fitness pal app but only use it as a guide as not all chinese restuarants/takeaways use same amount of fat and sugar. As @Nidge247 said take your injection before the meal as this has helped me in the past too just make sure you eat enough carbs to cover it. Home cooked food is always...

I understand thanks. It filled up between the tube at the bottom and the bulkier top. Is this what you meant? Unfortunately I don't have a spare silly of me. I'll be dropping a prescription through the letter box in the morning asking for 2. Thanks for your help.

I dropped my lantus autopen with my lantus inside(brand new cartridge too :-( does this stop its proficiency) as sugars seem to be a lot higher in the teens plus 20's sometimes upon wake up and keeps increasing. I took a correction dose but it just didn't flatten me out kept rising again...

Unfortunately diabetes is a immune problem so you are susceptible to other immune problems so it could be numerous things. I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 8 months ago and it had huge impact on my sleep even gave me some mental issues which endocrinologist when asked if it could replied...

I'm attempting the coffee loaf on the diabetic 2016 cookbook. Can anyone tell me what they mean by cold expresso. Can i buy it as a cold ecpresso or can i make it out of instant expresso granules or what is best to use. Thanks.

I've been doing background insulin testing mainly during the night. I am finding my sugars are running from 12-16 mmol. Lsdt night i had half a dark choclate digestive biscuit and found upon waking up my sugars were 7.2 mmol. I'll do it again tonight as I'm thinking i am taking too much lantus...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for making cakes/biscuits with Stevia. Is there a tastier sweetner to use? Also who is the author of the book. Think like a pancreas?

I have hyperthyroidism overactive thyroid. I take carbimozle for it and antihistamine because it brings me out in itchy lumps and swell like I've got nettle rash. It's an autoimmune problem in our family. Got t1d, hyperthyroidism, vitiligo and a vitamin b12 deficiency. I'm only youngish.

I've been diabetic for 20 years. I've got an appointment to see the DN and dietician in September. They have mentioned the DAFNE course to me. I'm still waiting to see my diabetic doctor. Nhs got my appointments in a muddle and still waiting when i can see my doctor. I'm not very familiar with...

I've been diabetic for 20 and half years. I always test after meals because no meal is ever the same size and food nutrition can change. Your body changes, you get older plus can get insulin resilient. I've never really taken much interest in my diabetes until i started getting other medical...

It definitely isn't nice. The DN said to have 16 units of lantus and after 4 days if it not enough then go up by 2. This morning out of the blue it was 5.1 this morning. It increased to 7.7 in 45 mins which i assume is my body giving me some glucose to get my bum moving. This is day 4 of 16...

Thanks. Every day my sugars are running high. No keytones though even when they run in the 20's???? Though my suagrs don't feel that high no dehydration nor running in and out of the loo for pee (excuse my wording).

Bolus* background insulin

It is my sugars. My sugars can not get controlled. Every morning i get up they're running from 15 up to 24. This morning 21.5 and it just stays above 10 all day. I've been told to change injection sites due to me not having any fat but its not changed anything at all. It knackers me out...

I saw my diabetic nurse a few weeks back and yesterday. She advised me to inject in the thight and abdomen(makes me cringe). I am too skinny no bum no fat not a mm of fat on me as a result my insulin is not being absorbed properly especially my background insulin. Every morning my sugars are...
