Wow! That's quite a start you made there. I was wondering where you went. Obviously you were out for a walk!

Maybe you need to go back to the specialist urgently. He fixed something that wasn't broke and he should know it. But believe me insulin treatment is better than retinopathy, whatever the outcome of seeing either doctor.

Never. And it's completely unnecessary. I definitely would complain.

Anaerobic exercise can raise your blood sugars. Do you know how your blood sugars are if you DON'T exercise for three or four days? If your blood sugars are OK when you are sitting around contemplating life in Buddha-like immobility, so you know that as a "baseline", you can then start...

Mine was bad this morning: 9.3. :( Mucked up after a hard day's exercise yesterday.

Yes, the group element is really helping, isn't it? On Wednesday (it's past midnight here) I went all out. I had two places to go, so I went on foot there and back in both trips. It added up to 3.8 miles in the morning, and another 6.2 in the afternoon-evening. The last three miles wad all...

I don't think its anything to be devastated about, and I find my pump much LESS intrusive than injections. I mean, pens are much more discreet than old-school syringes, but pulling out a pen and giving your self a jab in public attracts a lot mire attention than pulling out something that looks...

No, i dont think you're nuts. I've had it for 48 years since I was 5, so a cure would mean a fairly major change of identity.

Hooray! I also did the 5:30 pm dash around the park today. Counting the walk to the high street today, I walked for two hours, with 90 minutes at a cracking pace.

Good point, Jennifer. I think reasons vary. I think for women evening exercise can clash with our perceptions of our "duty". It is easier for me now because my son has grown up and left home. But it got easier as he became a teenager, and also now I miss him because we used to walk and cycle and...

This is a bit of a late response but it just occurred to me that one technique that could be extremely useful for a child on a pump is the "superbolus". I have read that the post-meal bs reading tends to be higher for children, and this high reading is considered "acceptable" by doctors...

Aargh! What a pain. And I'm right in the middle of tech problems here too now. An update and a sync seem to be going wrong, in the middle of which my mouse has run out of juice, and doesn't want to reconnect. I'm struggling not to snarl right now. May be time to go out for a nice long walk...

Patients have a right to change doctors, hospitals, etc these days. So they must be able to express an opinion about them and recommend them. As long as we don't say anything libellous we are free to talk, I think.

I'm in the naughty corner. Have hardly stirred in 3 days. Bit of housework yesterday. Must do something tomorrow.

It could be illness, or it could be insulin resistance. Two possible causes: combining high fat and carbs. You may be on LCHF but are you taking extra carbs when exercising? The other possibility is temporary insulin resistance caused by competition stress or by muscle soreness. Or of course it...

This is like my family. I was diagnosed aged 5, in 1967. After me, my grandfather got Type 2, then his daughter (my aunt) and his son (my dad). Then my sister got Type 1 aged 33. And they say Type 1 and 2 are 'not related'. Maybe. Or maybe all the Type 2s in my family were really LADA or...

Congratulations! I'll be keeping close eye on your progress with varying rates before during and after sport! I'm sure most things will come easy to you because of all your sugar surfing with MDI. Don't you just love boluses in fractions of units, though? They're the biz! I wonder how I managed...
