it is helpfull to know im not alone :) I do feel very jealous of those having "honeymoon periods" which i dont seem to have gotten. my whole experience makes no scene to me really, or may i had a over simplified view on what being type one would be like. I dont really have to problem with...

I was diagnosed as type 1 in June this year, took various amounts of insulin depending on my crab intake for the first few months, then in my Dr said i was on to high an amount of insulin and to take no more then 10units of novo rapid with meals. For about a month the 10 units would cover me for...

I think my diet has gotten worse since i have become diabetic, for the last week or so i have been eating the same thing every day, only way i have found so far to keep my blood sugars good. B - 500ml of protein milk L - 4 tux crackers with cream cheese and smoked salmon D - 2 potato waffles...

I think that toujeo might be more concentrated then other insulin, im not really sure. it says on the pen its "300 units/ml" where as my novorapid is "100 units/ml", so could my 12 units be equal to a higher dose of a different insulin :s I am trying to do basel testing, but missed one of my...

thanks everyone :)

What monitor are you using ? I use a contour next one and like their app for it. https://www.contournextone.ie/

Thanks , thats good to know. was kind of worried that next time my dr would tell me to lower my insulin more.

Thanks :) wanted to be sure before i stared testing

I have had 3 hypos, once was when i was trying to figure out my ratio and took to much insulin and my BS was 2.9, the other two were when on holidays so was guessing carbs at times and exercising more , they were both BS in the high 3's.

He is a general consultant that i meet in the diabetic clinic, i dont have a endocrinologist.

Thanks for all that info I was going to try test my Basel before but got confused , it says "Your last meal should be at least 4 hours ago, but not more than 12 hours ago" so dose that mean if for example i was doing the afternoon fast i would have breakfast maybe around 7 or 8 am, wait more...

Its my dr who has set my dose not me, I was told not to take more then 10 units per meal and to take the same amount everyday. I had previously just been adjusting for my carb ratio and was taking on about a TDD of 50 units and he said this was to much so add to cut down on insulin. I am just...

my average daily dose is about 28 units of novorapid (8,10, 10 ) and 12 toujeo so i tink that makes my TDD 40. i am 89.3kg. I know i need to lose weight and have increased my exercise and have improved my diet but im on steroids , have 23cm ovarian cyst, enlarged spleen , fluid retention and...

Hi , was wondering if there is a test i can get done to see if i am insulin resistance ? At the moment i am on 12 units of toujeo , and then 1 unit of novorapid per every 4 or 5 carbs (depends on time of day)

I used to take Neo-Mercazole tablets , now my thyroid is under active instead.

I know how you feel, trying to cut down on carbs myself at the moment as my dr says i cant take more then 10 units of novorapid with my meals but am finding it really hard. I am a vegetarian and a fussy eater so cutting out carbs just leaves me with fish, broccoli, spinach , eggs and cheese. I...

I have an under active thyroid for the last 20 or so years. I dont know much about result means as my dr just normally tells me thats is ok/ high / low. But having a under active thyroid has been no big deal for me, just pop a pill every morning for it , its a hell of a lot easier then being...

I have never actually tried avocado, would not have guessed it would be filling. now excited to give it a try :)

I have been on steroids for 11 years and will more then likely be on them for life, so i guess being a bit more resident to insulin is something i have to get used to. ya i don't think my Basel dose is not right, when i first got diagnosed they just put me on novorapid for a few weeks and when...

I mean 4.5 grams of carbs. which i know seems like a lot of insulin, but i am on steroids which i am guessing is making me a bit resistant to insulin. so for example my lunch today was 54 carbs of food so i took 12 units of novorapid insulin. generally i take around 8 units with breakfast, 12...
