Hope someone can advise on this please. Found myself very unwell with sickness and upset stomach over 48 hour period, my predicament was being sick with my levels dropping. Horrible having to force myself to eat in-between bouts of sickness. My level of 3 was difficult to maintain even with...

Lovely thank you for reassurance @Juicyj , yes keeping a close eye on my levels. Take care

Hi can anyone help me please? I started to inject Toujeo at 2.30pm today and it hurt quite a lot so decided to stop and move to a less painful area. I take 23 units but obviously split the dose between two sites. Will the body treat this as an overlap of insulin I don't feel well so monitoring...

Thanks all. Sorry I meant 4 hours after injecting . Having just had yet another hypo treated with orange juice and dextrose tablet can anyone tell me how long the juice and tablets will hold levels for I've had a museli bar too. My food peak is 90 minutes. Seeing diabetes nurse tomorrow...

Thanks everyone for your replies, level gets to 16 peak and feel so unwell when sugar levels rising. I've looked at recommended type 1 levels after 2 hours but if I kept levels that tight would have more hypos I aim for better levels four hours after novorapid has worn off . Feel like I am...

Thanks for your reply. Which insulins do you inject? I'm back on MDI Novorapid and Toujeo. If I injected earlier worried about hypos. Thanks

Any ideas on how to split bolus for chips and potatoes? If I inject novorapid at meal time feel really unwell with high levels after eating these carbs. I am on low carb diet but would like to eat a meal with potatoes in. Always weigh my food and calculate there is no enjoyment to eating at...

Thanks for your replies and link. Pump therapy works for a lot of people. Think my basal doses were too small even though under care of hospital. It's a long story just glad to be out of hospital left having to deal with these symptoms and trying to find the answers to. Yes let's hope...

After feeling very unwell for a number of weeks came off pump therapy used transition dose advised by hospital and ended up with climbing Ketones of 2.4 . Spent a week in hospital with blood sugars reducing and ketones rising. I was treated with endless bags of saline to flush out ketones. I've...

Hi@ickihun Thanks for your reply. I've not been advised about 3 hour window can you elaborate please. I was told to take at midday everyday which I have done for past week. For some reason run high after breakfast. Yes mine is Toujeo 300 too. Do you take yours at same time everyday? Which...

Hi@juicyj Thanks for link. Doctor told me to change Toujeo by 1 unit if higher in morning which I was so did change at midday today. Now I'm going low going to be a long night no basal testing as trying to keep levels from dropping too much. I've had enough!!

Can anyone advise how to fine tune basal please for Toujeo.. I've been on Toujeo for a week thought it kept levels steady for 24 hours. My morning blood sugar was 11.4 this morning I have increased Toujeo by 1 unit now at 23 injected at midday. My problem is mainly after breakfast where level...

Thanks @Juicyj appreciate the support. I don't understand why the nurses are advising me to use smaller amounts of Lantus I said yesterday it didn't make sense when I was on one dose of 21 lantus. They say its based on pump doses???? I don't want to replicate that regime it doesn't work for...

After feeling very unwell I came off my omnipod yesterday I discussed with Dsn and she gave me advice on doses to take for lantus and novorapid. Before the changes I checked ketones which were 0.2. I also said to the nurse that the dose recommended for lantus seemed very low I was advised it...

Hi @ jaylee Thanks for your message. Boiler is serviced regularly we have a carbon monoxide alarm.

Thank you so much for your reply @Jenny15 I will go back to my doctor this week and request a referral to respiratory department and ask if he can arrange a pulse oximeter. I spoke to my dsn last week who advised the pump consultant can refer me to an allergist. I hope I can last another...

Thanks for your replies. It's not anxiety or hyperventilating it happens quickly and suddenly. Before diagnosed and ending up in hospital 17 years ago I was treated for stress. I was borderline coma and spent christmas week in hospital being treated for type 1 diabetes. My bloods have...

Yes think that's what I will do fed up of feeling unwell. I will have to ask dsn about transition back to pen as in do I stop using omnipod and start immediately with insulin dose used before omnipod. Do you use a pump? Thanks for your reply

So here I am 6 weeks into using omnipod still feel unwell with breathlessness, chest feeling tight. Tingling tongue, feel like throat is closing up. I've changed insulin from novorapid to Apidra but still same symptoms as above saw doctor yesterday who thinks it's an allergy but can't be...

Hi I am experiencing numb tongue and face with tingling plus palpitations using novorapid or apedra. Did you change your insulin? What did you change to? Thanks
