    Ideal target range setting on Libre

    if I set 3.3-14, then my time in the target range will be 100% for the last month) haha, it all depends on the settings :hilarious: with my usual settings, everything is not so good with bg 3.9, I'm a little shaky, like with hypo I envy people who can keep bg in the range of 4-6

    Ideal target range setting on Libre

    I set 4.5-9, because I want to have time to prevent hypo before bg falls below 4. The answers are really reassuring, because many people here say that 8 is already hyperglycemia, but I feel best when my bg is 6-7, and when my bg is 3.9 I already feel like hypo, although for people without...

    Liposuction for type 1 diabetic lipohypertrophy

    if you manage to do something with your lipohypertrophy, tell me, I have almost the same situation, I try not to give injections in the stomach, but the insulin bumps do not go away

    Type 1's: How often do you get the common cold?

    Hmm, quite rare... and besides, I can easily tolerate any cold. I must admit, I always thought it was because of a very strong immune system and was afraid that it would kill something besides my pancreas

    Pasta to live and love

    I just read this thread. This is the first time I've heard that spaghetti can be cooked with courgetti. How do you cook it?

    Extensive coronary calcification

    are there absolute contraindications to stenting o_O ?! You've ruined my little world

    Extensive coronary calcification

    as far as I know, the coronary calcification increases the risk of heart attack, but modern medicine perfectly treats heart attacks. I also know that it is often treated with caronary stenting this has nothing to do with the topic, but, my God, what a cool avatar you have!

    Diabetes and kidney disease

    I'll mark @Grant_Vicat here because I know he had a kidney and pancreas transplant. Perhaps he will help you in some way

    I need serious help/advice.

    ****, it probably sounds scary for a person who is afraid of needles, but it really doesn't hurt

    I need serious help/advice.

    I calibrate cgm when I put it on and check when bg is below 3 or above 16, but that's about five times in two weeks. But yes, you're right, it's not a complete rejection of finger pricks

    I need serious help/advice.

    insulin injections are not the same injections that you usually get in the hospital. For this purpose, syringe pens with a very short needle are used (I use a needle with a length of 6mm, but you can buy a shorter needle). It's completely painless if you don't use the same needle for a very long...

    The old stuff

    How happy I am that my diabetes started only in 2004! The progress is really impressive. Although I still remember the times when the dose of bazal was divided in half and it had to be shaken before injection, but this is ******** compared to what it was in your time. How did you control...

    The Randle Cycle.

    I meant glycogen is not synthesized under the action of insulin. I read that in 1921 it was a cool discovery when it was discovered that after the introduction of insulin in the liver of an experimental animal there was glycogen. God forbid to give up insulin, I want to live

    The Randle Cycle.

    so insulin has nothing to do with it? Thank you, a very useful video, although my knowledge of chemistry is not enough to understand it completely.

    The Randle Cycle.

    A very stupid question, but is glycogenesis even possible without insulin? I don't know very well how glycogenesis occurs, but I know that insulin restores the ability of the liver to produce glycogen

    The Randle Cycle.

    You're lucky. I tried not to eat carbohydrates at all and it didn't lead to anything good, and fats are a separate hell for my insulin therapy, it's easier for me to give up fat, because I can perfectly control carbohydrates, and fats slow down insulin so much that after eating it I think I'll...

    The Randle Cycle.

    ****, I wonder insanely why the dose of basal does not fluctuate from diet, as well as the dose of bolus. In theory, if it depends on the food, then we should see fluctuations in both bahal and bolus, but the dose of basal is surprisingly stable, it does not change at all whether I eat a lot of...

    The Randle Cycle.

    that is, if I don't eat carbohydrates, I won't have glycogen?! Wow, that's interesting information. And why does bg rise if you don't eat anything and don't do insulin? Where does glucose in the blood come from? Sometimes I can not eat anything at all for several days, but I still need basal...

    The Randle Cycle.

    It's a little strange that the author believes that all the carbs that are in our body we get from food. But what about the glycogen produced by the liver? This is also a carbohydrate by the way. If it wasn't, we wouldn't need basal insulin, but the dose of basal insulin is large enough (I won't...
