I know! I'm not too bad but have been told that I'm sensitive to insulin, I use a paediatric pen with 0.5 measures. I was also told in the past that they think I was still producing insulin myself, I have nothing to back this up & as it was a number of years ago but am quite curious about this...

I'm like you juicyj when I hypo through the night I always dream of trying to solve a mathematical problem & get so frustrated that I can't solve it. Funny thing is I'm not very good @ maths, lol.

Same not sane!

It is strange but sometimes you can't trace a reason for changes, I'm sane as caterpillar & illness raises my BG, hope you get it sorted soon.

It's quite a significant reduction, are you feeling ok in general, or lost weight (through choice) recently?

Hi, I am type 1, 27 years now & diagnosed @ 21. I first showed symptoms in the April but didnt know about diabetes then. The symptoms disappeared but recurred in December. Started insulin in the December, the honeymoon period was explained to me & I was told to expect my doses to have to be...

Hi All, at my last diabetic review my bloods showed irregularities with my thyroid levels, initially looked under active but last results after speaking 27th practice nurse looked verging on overactive, I haven't changed my duet but have put on 4lbs in last month. Has anyone else had a similar...

Hi Eddie, your post was a while back but I've just saw it. I am also type 1 within greater glasgow & Clyde. I also attend the consultant once a year but then 6 months later have a review 27th the practice nurse @ my GP. Hope you got your appointments sorted.

No, just a personal preference.

I seem to be seeing a lot of people trying the low carbs at the moment, I might consider it but would rather have carbs than proteins to be honest, but definitely worth thinking about.

Leslie, I said the exact same thing, that I thought I was having a stroke! Couldn't talk, couldn't move but onwards and upwards now! Keep positive.

I'm on novorapid rather than humalog but my correction would 1 unit to drop by 3

You will feel more in control & I know my hospital have pump specialist nurses to give all the support and help you need. Hopefully you will have the same. Yep, the after affects from alcohol is just not worth it. I only drink dry white wine, 4 glasses is my absolute limit now.

I've just dropped mine from 12 & 5 to see if it reduces hypos, had the worst one ever on 31/12, own fault as had a really full on week eating out & at friends resulting in me sleeping far too long after taking my basal. I suppose if basal had been correct in reality I shouldn't have went in to...

In total 14 units of lantus, 10 in the morning & 4 @ 10 night time

Wow, that's a really high ratio, no wonder it's difficult for you. I'm 1 unit to 20, Morning, 1:20 lunch & 1:15 dinner. Hopefully the pump will really help. Best of luck

Thanks, I do try, sometimes it works like a dream & then other times it's up & down with genuinely no apparent reason!

Do you carb count Johnny?

Best of luck with the pump. I opted out after discussions, think the young doctor thought I was off my head, but I didnt mind the injections & didn't fancy the permanent canuela (not sure of spelling!) I was told when diagnosed that they thought that even though type 1 I was still producing...

I honestly don't know how you can manage to maintain such low hba1c results. I am diabetic 27 years & the worst hba1c I have had is 9.2 & the best 7.0, to maintain in the 5`s or 6`s I would be on the verge of hypo constantly. I weigh my carbs, always inject & follow my regime to the best I can...
