Hi M80 which clinic do you attend? I attend RAH in Paisley

My pop in law had non hodgkinson lymphoma & is type 1 diabetic. He had his initial stem cell replacement which unfortunately wasn't affective, he then had a donor cell replacement which has been a great success, he is fit & healthy. His diabetes was supported the whole time by his healthcare...

A wee visit to the local co- op for me! :)

Apologies to type 2,s as being type 1 I thought this was really good but didnt realise how low your carb allowance is

Think 2 would be more satisfying x

Hi, I'm type1, good for me as can add to the end of a meal but it's unusual to find a really nice biscuit with carbs so low x

Still better than nothing @mater Recipe is - go to asda & collect from biscuit aisle, lol x

Hi folks, thought worth a share. Just discovered that border classic lemon drizzle melts biscuits have only 7.2g of carbs per biscuit!

I find being T1 quite lonely at times, it's not something that I want to talk about to others often but like other posts have said it would be nice if when you are frustrated with results or having a bad BG levels day that friends & family understood just how difficult it can be @ Times. I've...

Hi, 4 dextrose & also 15g of carbs to get your level back up.

Ps can Hi, for @AnnJohnston, my ratio also alters throughout the day, so you may experience highs/lows until you get the correct ratio for you. For e.g. breakfast I am 1 unit to 15g carbs, lunch is 1 unit to 20g carbs and teatime is back to 1 unit to 15g carbs.

Hi Ann, if you don't already have it buy yourself a book called carbs & cals, it's my bible for carbohydrates. At my clinic they also gave out basic carb counting information sheets, your new consultant might have some for you. Best of luck.

I do this to Amy, a chocolate biscuit with my lunch or tea which keeps me a happy bunny but don't snack throughout the day.

Hi coops Hiya, I never came out the honeymoon period, which I'd been warned about! Not sure if this is common or not. Hopefully your insulin needs don't change too much.

Hi, I know of one youngish diabetic who manipulates her insulin & she works in a doctor's surgery. She lives in Scotland but it is the 2 practice nurses who have tried to help her over the years. So sad & certainly needs addressed by professionals. Best of luck.

Hi jessirene, you are definitely not alone. I was taking a set dose of bolus for years & because My hba1c were ok I wasn't given any advise, it was only when I broke down @ my clinic, telling them I couldn't do this any more that I was put forward for a carb counting course, I can honestly say...

Hi Himtoo - I am type 1 for 26 years and just got diagnosed last week with hypothyroid, I was undiagnosed hyperthyroid for at least 4 months before it altered to hypothyroid. (Abnormal thyroid levels picked up on at Annual Diabetic Review). I was hoping you could tell me if you felt a change in...

Hi Anth77, I cant think of any reason either that insulin would affect this.

Thanks Robert72 - I think I should be OK, relatively speaking the most protein I would eat would be a chicken breast in a meal. I don't eat much red meat and don't low carb.

Hi All I am diabetic 27 years and this is the first time I have heard of taking bolus for protein, this has never been mentioned to me through all the meetings with health professionals and the local NHS 'Buddie' Group I attended for Carb counting, Wow.... could you give me some information on...
