Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app Hi GrantGam, I'm quite slim & quite a light weight when it comes to alcohol (still doesn't stop me). So right now I'm drinking wine & eating Doritos & peanuts. Experimenting tonight. Thanks for your advice x Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum...

Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app Hi Kristin, I'm on Novorapid & Lantus. I reduced my Novorapid by 1 unit at dinner time & have been nibbling on Doritos & peanuts. I need my Friday wine. Lol. Experimenting tonight. Thanks for your advice x Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum...

Why do 2 glasses of red wine send me into hypo? I really want to have 3 or 4. How can I get on top of this? Thanks in advance x Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

This morning my BG was 9.0 Had 6 units of Insulin. Had 50g of porridge with semi skimmed milk. Then 20 minutes later had an apple. Two hours later my BG is 12.5 is this when I give myself a correction dose of 2 units (I think) Or do I wait until lunch time & have it with my lunch time dose? All...

Thanks guys. Just wanted to know at what point do you give the correction dose? And how do I know how much to give? I really do you not know What I am doing [emoji51]

Can someone please explain what & how the correction dose works? And how do u know when your bolus is not right? I'm very new to insulin & am still at the stage of my DN telling me when to increase Thank u x

Today I was at Pizza Hut. Did my BG before eating & it was 6.9 I was to scared to give myself 8 units in preparation of a heavy carb meal (as I always have 5-6) incase my BG would drop low. I don't know, would it? When I did my BG again later it had shot up to 17.3 (yes I did pig out & it was...

I'm very new to insulin. I'm taking about 5-6 units of Novorapid before meals & 12 units of Lantus before bed. I'm not to clued up on carb counting. Has anyone not done the course? Is there a book I can rather buy? Thanks in advance x

Thanks so much himtoo. Feeling more relaxed now x

I'm going to a dinner party tonight. We are eating at 9pm. So I'll inject Nivorapid (5 units) just before we eat. My worry is I usually inject Lantus (10 units) at 10pm every night. I'm a bit worried these two injections are too close to each other. What do I do? Thanks x

Thank u everyone for your sound advice [emoji846][emoji106]

Mike D I went from 55kgs to 43kgs in 2 months. Happy to say I have put on 2kgs.

Did my BG last night and it was 18. Gave my first 24 hour release injection before bed. Did my BG this morning & it was 11.5 I'm happy that it's come down but is that OK to have a major drop like that (still above 9 anyway).

Lol! Yeh I tend to listen more to people on this forum. So I'm going to go back to low carbs and high protein tomorrow again. The nurse said I don't need to know about carb counting yet. She's put me on 3 units as I am very slim (lost a lot of weight in 2 months). Yes I'm on Novorapid before...

Hi Urbanracer, I took insulin just before breakfast, just before lunch & just before dinner. The nurse said I had to eat carbs with each injection. I hardly had any carbs when I was on the Metformin and Gliclazide. I'm not currently sick, in fact feeling quite healthy. Just worried about the BG...

I was wrongly diagnosed with type 2 & put on Metformin & Gliclazide. It was bringing my BG down. But then after a GAD blood test it proved that I was Type 1. So I came off the pills yesterday & started the insulin today. My BG has shot up to 18. I've been told I must eat carbs with every meal...

Has anyone tried an Insulin Inhaler? Don't know much about it x

What is LADA?
