How do you all cope with uncaring people? I suffer from OCD and anxiety as well as being Type 1, the current situation has me petrified and I haven't left the house since March and my OCD is really bad, worse than it ever has been (I wash my hands constantly) Anyway my mum has still been...

I like it but I've never used anything else, I'd say its not a great idea if you have varying amounts of activity though unless your very confident at adjusting bolus doses, I find if I'm extra active one day then I can need to reduce my bolus doses for at least 24 hours later, also not the most...

If you haven't already ordered then they do have an eBay store where the strips are in stock by the looks of it (quite odd imo though) - TEE2 test strips x 50 for use with TEE2 blood glucose meter. Brand new in box | eBay xx

Last night I had a protein rich meal, my large chicken breast stuffed with a ton of mozzarella and wrapped in prosciutto, I had baby potatoes, a ton of roasted sprouts and a square of dark chocolate totalling 30g carbs so 3 units for me on a 1:10g, there was no rise from the amount of protein...

In my time I've used Jelly Babies, it depends on brand but Bassatt's ones 3 is 15g carbs but although most are relatively similar in carb values they don't all weigh the same per jelly baby so you'd need to weigh and work out how much was in one if you bought a different brand, mini bags of...

The thing is protein is thought to effect levels more in the absence of carbs rather than when included with carbs, I have quite a lot of protein in my evening meal at least 3 nights a week with a mozzarella and prawn omelette and chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella etc but the protein has no...

@Ryhia thanks and no thanks don't need the ingredients, not concerned what's in them to be fair, life's too short and I avoided a lot in my first couple of years following diagnosis due to an eating disorder I developed but thanks xx

Are these the Deluxe ones? Sorry for late reply been on hold on the phone to Royal Mail most of the afternoon :rolleyes: yes I did like the Tesco ones but we only have a Lidl in our town and online shopping is done on Morrison's :rolleyes: xx

I was hoping to get the information for Friday so I could get someone to pick some up for me if I deemed it suitable, unfortunately the only real regular is my grandad and although he has a phone he only knows how to answer a call :rolleyes: or that's exactly what I would have done xx

Sorry for keeping disappearing! Woke to 6.1 this morning at 5:30 but by breakfast an hour later had fallen to 4.2, shaky and vision starting to play up so had 2 gluco tabs and reduced bolus for breakfast, finally feeling a bit more human/normal now, its horrible how simple everyday things turn...

Yes I'm aware after over 4 years at this game but slightly difficult when I[m not going out xx

Thanks guys but I don't trust sources like that having had them be wrong on a few occasions @Antje77 yes that's always the first thing I do and also tried openfoodfacts with no luck xx

And could possibly upload pics of nutrition for their coleslaws and high meat content sausages please? xx

I don't do particularly high fat meals but personally I'd try splitting the insulin first, I only practice this for Christmas and new year dinner but I do 2/3 up front and then the remaining between my main and dessert, adding extra runs the risk of a hypo as you don't know how you'd react, also...

While yes the Expert is being discontinued it is still available until January and I don't see why there would be an issue with that as the Aviva strips it uses will still be available I use the Expert and it is a good meter but I'm switching to the contour next one just because I find the...

Are you using an Aviva Expert? xx

Good control here, 2 eye complications already, 1 only less than a month into my diagnosis and the 2nd only 2 years in so while it can reduce risk it most certainly does not eliminate it I'm afraid Also you say you had a few months of honeymoon period where you only required 20U of Tresiba, I...

Sorry been AWOL again, after I thought all the stress of the bathroom was over with the toilet sprung a leak so yet more people in my home :( 3 plumbers and the gaffer decided to turn up, they are nice lads but given the current situation I think they could've managed with less! Anyways 6.8 for...

I'm not quite sure what you mean? There is 2 ways of measuring hba1c, the one you have stated and a mmol/mol which yours would be 7.5% in the "older" way, it equates to an average BG of around 9.3mmol via finger prick This isn't borderline though, this is high, as a Type 2 your targets should...

I developed an eating disorder after some issues after diagnosis and a low carber telling me it was my own fault because I'd been eating carbs (it wasn't but I was a newbie and vulnerable to comments) I was severely underweight but gained by snacking on cheeses, eggs and cold meats throughout...
