I am currently on 4 units of novorapid in the morning and that was for 6 Weetabix with semi-skimmed milk. What dosage would three Weetabix with semi-skimmed milk be? What is the general ratio?

Thanks will definitely try the porridge ideas. I am going to try three weetabix tomorrow with semi-skimmed milk and then some greek natural yoghurt with raspberries to see what happens. Feeling frustrated tonight because don't know what to eat for lunch at school without resorting to...

Thank you for the helpful posts. Yes, I just feel that I need to alter my breakfast. What other possibilities are there for breakfast? So as a general rule I should be taking my insulin 15 minutes before I eat anything and then my blood levels (spike) should be no more than 9/10 in the first...

I took the Novorapid (4 units) at 07:50 into my stomach and started eating about 07:55/08:00. Should there be a normal rule when to inject insulin or does it depend on what you are eating? Haven't received much guidance from Diabetic Nurse to be honest. Sugars been all over place today, up at...

Haha yes...it's six because always hungry in the morning especially with running/cycling training the night before. But, since I'm now a type 1 I probably have to change what I take for breakfast? Might do a week of very close monitoring of my sugars post-breakfast. A learning experience definitely.

I take six Weetabix for breakfast...have done it for the past 5/6 years as always up from around 6/6:30 and it's what I'm used to. Early days for me yet in terms of learning and understanding and about finding out what works best for breakfast. I'd feel disappointed if I had to change my...

Very helpful posts, thank you. I am about to finish my PGCE and was diagnosed with type 1 5 weeks ago...talk about a crazy year! I'm excited to start into NQT and have made my new employers aware about my condition. I suppose the best thing is just to be organised and have everything with you...

Hello everyone, I have been diagnosed as type 1 about 5 weeks ago and the initial shock was something else. Only since I have been diagnosed do I realise how much being a diabetic involves and I can see why some people get 'diabetes burnout'. Thankfully I am over that initial shock and...
