Ideally your looking for no more than a 2-3mmol rise 2 hours post meal so 2.5mmol at 1 hour still isn't anything to worry about, perhaps if your worried about that then a short walk after the meal may help lessen the spike at 1 hour xx

Hi :) it is better to get levels down slowly and gradually than get it down right away as it can cause extra strain on the body that way it also may take a while for your body to settle to now using insulin and results really aren't instant unfortunately Are you keeping an eye on your ketones...

Hi unfortunately I can't comment on a switch as I have no experience with any other basal as I was put straight onto Tresiba at diagnosis I find it very effective at keeping me stable in the absence of food and also I haven't had it sting at all, mine goes into my bum cheek (sorry for the tmi!)...

I was on the depo injection for years since I had a miscarriage and it was great, recently in my area though there are some practices that were having trouble getting hold of it so it was changed to Sayana Press which imo is actually better as you don't need an appointment for it as its self...

6.8 for me this morning, completely fine with me though as I did reduce every bolus yesterday due to excitement and 3 miles walking attending the Harley Davidson in the city event, what a great day although my back is suffering today, decided we'd be big kids for once (me and my partner) so went...

i would've advised another test, If you are on hypo causing medications then treat it with glucose, if on metformin take a biscuit, did you feel low? There wouldn't be a need to call anyone for a reading of 3.7, if I were to do that it would cost the NHS a lot of money, only ever call for help...

Are you in the UK? And have you considered any other form of contraception? xx

why would you think that, up until the end of last year I was only on 1 unit basal and 9-5-10 units of rapid

Pump users only use a fast acting insulin and get it set correct for different times of the day to tick them over so in a pump users case novorapid isn't just a bolus insulin

Just also want to mention if you are using the Libre to test while driving it is only authorised on your arm xx

5.2 when I got up at 6:05 but 4.6 by 6:55 for breakfast been out at the dentist and have to get 3 teeth out at the end of July xx

yes that is probably the reason, you need the basal to keep you ticking over when your not consuming carbs etc so if that's wrong or in your case sometimes non existent then you don't have that coverage meaning corrections aren't going to work correctly, the basal really is the most important to...

Phone your team straight away to get advice I can understand their point about your wife being too strict as anything below 4 is a hypo and very dangerous xx

I disagree here I was unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with diabetic macular oedema only a month after my Type 1 diagnosis and apart from my diagnosis hba1c (11.4%) my highest was 7% xx

This is intriguing me as you mention a post meal reading To me post meal suggests the 2 hour after eating mark and this subject was brought up elsewhere yesterday, I wouldn't correct 2 hours after eating as the insulin already in your system can last 4-5 hours whereas others were taking a...

7.5 last night 5.4 this morning xx

First I'd go to the dr and see what might actually be wrong with your foot, you might be jumping to conclusions, I am very careful as even before I was diabetic I had nerve damage to a toe because of an accident Do you not have a team that you could talk with about your concerns? A dietician...

7.2 last night 5.3 at 6:05, 4.9 at 6:55 xx

I can and do carb count, I'm self taught and the team were happy with that a month after I was diagnosed as set doses were too strong and I was constantly hypo and a full unit correction was also too much so I have the benefit of a half unit pen too, my levels are just playing up at the minute...

I have asked for a bit of a hand and I just get there's nothing I can do or the famous I've been working all day (which often isn't hard as they are going through a quiet spell atm) xx
