35 mmol/l. I forgot to take a basal (in those years it was a protaphane that had to be pricked twice a day and it had nothing like looping) and went swimming on the lake. When I returned a few hours later, my blood glucose meter showed HI, I injected myself with 10 units of bolus, and tried to...

I understood :) But I was conscious at 35

to be honest, I rarely think about it, but I looked at the diabox report and it's 82%. I only use injections The more the better, but don't harass yourself. Mental health is no less important than diabetes. I think it's better to stick to the maximum value at which your psyche is normal

it also confuses me that mg/dl is the weight divided by volume, but if we get % as a result, then we divide the values that are measured in the same units

Hmm... it makes sense, although it confuses me that at 500 mg/dl, which corresponds to 28mmol/l, the dog fell into a coma. It is unpleasant for me if my bg achieves such values, but I can even work quite well. I probably would have died from such bg if it had lasted at least a month, but the...

Has anyone come across the measurement of bg in percentages or fractions? How does this convert into millimoles per liter? I came across this in a book about the history of insulin and these units are not similar to either mmol/l or mg/dl. if it is still approximately similar to mmol/l (assuming...

your insulin also reduces bg, and much faster than exogenous insulin because it immediately enters the bloodstream, and not into subcutaneous fat. It's just that your insulin is not enough and you have to add an exogenous one. For example, your insulin lowered bg from 20 to 16, but you need to...

Why would you starve? with t1, you can even eat cakes, the main thing is to properly dose insulin for this. Why would you die such a slow and painful death as giving up insulin? carbohydrates are not very difficult to count, you will master it at about the same speed as you learned the...

Why don't you go to the doctor and check if these are really complications? If it's really a complication, it's easier to cure it at an early stage, if it's not a complication, then you'll just calm down and be happy. Although I sometimes also feel tingling in my limbs and in my case it is...

To be honest, I'm confused and I don't know if I want to be a moderator, but I would try, if you don't mind that my understanding of English depends on a Google translator, and my ability to understand by ear is limited to the phrase "London is the capital of Great Britain". And if everything is...

are you sure you want to see a moderator who, wanting to ask a person about their health, can make a tracing paper from native language and use a reflexive pronoun, and then be surprised that the answer is "I don't answer such vulgarities" :hilarious: ? Yes, I really didn't know that reflexive...

I would like to nominate @Grant_Vicat, not so much because he has a lot of experience living with diabetes and personal experience of serious complications, but because I think that a moderator with such beautiful and correct English could make this forum more cool

thank you! You can clink your glass with the screen and I'll do it from the other side :) Strangely enough, I'm in a completely working mood today and I don't have a hangover at all.

Please tell me that I am not the only strange person who celebrates the anniversary of diabetes in a restaurant with friends

There are so many hugs here that I'm even embarrassed. Actually, I'm not really worried about the fact that I might die. As we say, two deaths will not happen, and one will not pass. In addition, since my family survived the explosion in Chernobyl quite safely, being close enough to the...

I'll try to keep it simple. Look, you usually want to eat when your cells run out of fuel to work (glucose). The brain receives a signal "we need more glucose" and the brain responds "OK, now we will eat and get glucose from food." If a person is healthy, then after digesting food, glucose...

with high bg glucose from food remains in the bloodstream, but does not get to the cells, so they remain hungry and the brain also believes that food is the best way to solve this problem, but the paradox is that without insulin, glucose will not get into the cells, no matter how much you eat...

Well, maybe I'll just demonize my president and everything will be fine. After all, people in border areas in most cases do not die in military conflicts

Today my diabetes turns 20 years old.Of course, my friends without diabetes will gladly get drunk with me for any reason and there is nothing special about the fact that I did not die, but still I have a reason to celebrate, moreover, I am not at all sure that I will live to see the next...

How did you usually support your sister when something happened? I think she wants something in the same format. It seems to me that the best thing that can be done for a child is not to turn diabetes into a tragedy and, if possible, behave as before. From the outside, diabetes seems like...
