my basal needs can fluctuate depending on hormones, exercise etc and tresiba was decided to probably not be the best for the fluctuations. Levemir hasn’t been mentioned though. I did a fair bit of research tonight and have read a lot about severe hypo’s which has worried me slightly. As I am...

currently taking humulin I, but I’m experiencing evening highs when the basal is losing effect so I’ve been switched to lantus today to try and control that.

Switching to lantus tonight! Just wondering other peoples pro’s and cons? I’m nervous lol!

Some hospitals also have a diabetes specialised obgyn, they have literally seen it all so it may be worth asking if you can speak to one regarding ivf and what they know to help your queries xx here is an article on beyondtype1 I found. https://beyondtype1.org/ivf-and-type-1-a-new-journey-begins/

I haven’t experienced ivf but I have experienced pregnancy. It may be worth speaking to your diabetes doctor about any known experiences of ivf with diabetes they have and I’m sure there may be first hands account if you google some mums forums and blogs on the internet. pregnancy usually...

Hey, I am very newly out of my honeymoon. The honeymoon sucked and I had a lot of fluctuations.. some days I needed barely any fast acting other days I would need more, I was having 6 hypos a day at one point for about 3 months where I eventually had to just go down to taking basal insulin...

yeah I tested against metre, libre said I was actually in range, a finger prick let me know it was reading 1mmol higher, plus I was having symptoms. I’ve lowered my basal to 10 units tonight so we will see what happens overnight. no a day of recurring hypo’s makes me really weary of eating and...

I’m normally moderately throughout the week and find blood sugars to be quite steady and I had a good routine going. I usually do 2.5km -3.5km in steps a day. I did on average 10km a day on my trip. I have a libre 2 and it was struggling to keep up once the hypo started to hit.. and it was...

I treated with Fast acting 200ml Pepsi for the first one, the second hypo I treated with 200ml Pepsi followed by a 15g carb rice cracker then the third hypo I treated with 300ml Pepsi and a small piece of brown toast. Woke up 3 hours later going low again. I usually skip breakfast but I decided...

I agree, I find it depends on time of day aswell. Some mornings I can wake up high. Sometimes I have lie ins and wake up in target without adjusting any basal. I also find I’m more resistant to corrections in late afternoon/evening than I am in the morning too.

I was high on the first jab for about 2 weeks, then blood sugars have been fine on this second one up until the day I went on my trip. So I’m leaning more towards the exercise and heat being the reasoning behind the fluctuations. As that’s the only thing different aside from the jab.

So I’ve just come back from a trip, with crazy fluctuating blood sugars from 23mmol dropping to 3.8mmol in half an hour. So I reduced basal while on my trip because I was doing a lot more exercise, probably triple of what I would do in a day with long walks in the sun sightseeing. Including...

Anyone else experiencing a bit of issues when it comes to hypos with the libre 2? I get false alarms sometimes where it will alarm, I’ll scan and it’ll say my sugar is 4.4 when my alarm barrier is set to 4.2. then once I’ve treated a hypo the sensor will instantly lose signal for half hour or...

Post 2nd dose, blood sugars have been okay, couple of corrections needed but nothing too crazy. Side effects exact same as the first and I am feeling very fatigued, sickly.. but another strange side effect, my period that was due to end today has started again with vengeance! Called for advice...

I’m looking for something a bit extra for my libre so I’m not scanning all the time, I’ve seen the MiaoMiao and also the night rider BluCon send real-time data without needing to scan, does anyone have either of these? What are the pro’s and cons?

I’ve had my first shot and my blood sugars have only settled down again in the past fortnight, I’ve been seeing individual reports of severe low BS following second jab which worries me! I’m alone in the house Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm with my disabled daughter as her primary carer which is...

I have communicated with the DSN about it and she said she would have expected my basal to be reduced and told me to knock a couple of units off, then I was suffering highs through the night and my basal testing indicated I needed those units, I’ve been gradually reducing basal since then and...

I forgot to say I’m also adding a little extra on for proteins

I’ve gone back to a low carb diet after a couple of weeks of binging on higher carb foods. I’m taking less fast acting than I usually would be as my carb intake isn’t as high, but my basal has stayed the same to the point I’m only taking 2 units more a day in total novarapid than my 11 units...

so strange! I found I was taking more insulin in the winter and have been slowly lowering since March when it started to warm up a little slightly. Will be keeping a closer eye, I wouldn’t have thought anything of it until my legs went like jelly and I started to get lightheaded which is...
