    Type 2 Hey

    Hmm I understand. I usually distribute the carb doses like: breakfast a low carb bread (the protein ones have per slice 4g of carb so I find them a good option) or maybe low carb yougurt with a few strawberries. That adds up 10-15 grams. For lunch some sweet potato, rye rice (about 40g) with...

    Type 2 Hey

    Hey! Sorry to hear about that, but nice that you joined us! :) I'm in low carb and I usually try to keep 50-65g carb/day. It works really good according with my basal doses in my insulin pump. What treatment are you in?

    Type 1 Best App to log BG levels?

    I really like MySugr- they have a lot of options for example you can log your basal doses, if you're feeling angry or upset, if your period is coming, temporary basal dose, it's awesome! The only downside is that some of the options are only available in the paid version - 1,49 dollar a month...

    Hives all over - cannula insertion

    That sucks :/ did you doctor mention anything about cortisone? Maybe the lotion can be putted in the worst spots or even orally might be an option.. the bad thing is that your blood sugar will be a little crazy. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon!

    Difficulties traveling

    Hey Guys! I'm a type 1 DM and since I travelled last week from home (Brazil) to Germany I'm having serious difficulties managing my blood sugar - I use insulin pump and I had to increase my basal dose from 12,9 to 17,8, even though I'm on the Low Carb diet just like before. Why do you think that...

    Exercise and Hypos

    Hmmmm, interesting. This week I notice how sensitive I got to the exercises I've done (bike rides, running and intense exercises at the gym) - and two days without any intense exercise I still feel the late hypoglycemias. Just yesterday I did a test and at night changed my basal doses a lot -...

    Exercise and Hypos

    Hey everyone! I'm having some problems in adjusting my basal dose in the pump when I do any physical activity - I'm ending up always having hypoglycemias, not during the exercise (I usually put the TBD in 90 or 80%), but specially at night =( Does anyone have any experience to share so I can...
