Thanks all, I do like a spanish omelette, which includes potatoes but could google this before I go and judge the portion size, and then the bread could judge portion size 2. Most other items will be meat/fish/chicken based. :)

Thanks Winnie, I will check out a few of their dishes and maybe just stick to my own small plates rather than sharing.

Thanks Ann, will just need to be careful & avoid some dishes if in doubt but all so tempting.

Hi all, I am eating out soon with friends @ a tapas resturaunt. I'm already getting nervous about calculating the carb intake of what I eat. It's a bit like a buffet (my worst nightmare). Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to manage this. I'm not concerned about being slightly high...

Thanks Winnie x

Beautiful little girl. Congratulations x

Thanks for all of this information, I'll look in to it. I am tired at times, body hair seems to be much slower to grow, my head hair is slightly dryer but it is the emotional side I've found quite difficult. I'm often told that I have infinite patience & a lovely understanding personality but...

I always take the levothyroxin first thing, along with insulin, statin & blood pressure tablet x

Hi, you wouldn't naturally hypo unless you had another illness that causes the individual to produce too much insulin naturally. Having too much of medication in your system (insulin) etc will cause a hypo. Hope this helps

I went from overactive to underactive in the last few months, GP confirmed antibodies. I experienced terrible anxiety attacks when overactive but now feel much more relaxed even a bit flat emotionally at times. Is this normal?

Hi, what is charcot foot? Sorry but never heard of it before? X

Not a good day, hate days like that!

Hi Slip, Id' injected just before eating at 5.45pm but beginning to think I will avoid rice in future, too fiddly! :)

At 8.30pm last night. Was having boiled rice with tea and think I overestimated my portion of rice. Frustrating as now using boil in the bag rice to get a better judge of my portion sizes. Frustration.......

It really hit home for me after a black out hypo and I thought oh my god this isn't just about managing high BG, seriously low BG's are just as terrifying. I remember thinking insulin can be a very dangerous medication. But hey ho, still here and standing and coping.

Thanks, wish I had the gumption to even attempt it! LOL

So glad you are OK. Apart from the debilitating physical after affects its the humiliation of the situation I detest. Why do we feel shame and guilt when this happens? Ive been lucky enough to keep my hypo awareness after 27 years of being type 1 but have needed support from others twice...

Hi Ned, I know its so frustrating. Yes, you can have different ratios at different times of the day. What time do you eat your evening meal at? Are you eating high fat content evening meals that are slow to digest, causing a delayed blood sugar level? Mo

What did you eat for dinner, was it a heavy meal, creamy sauce, deep fat fried food? It could be slow digestion.

I know you shouldnt inject in to the higher area of your tummy (up near rib cage) due to lack of fat.
