Have you had a look at the basal at these times......maybe it needs adjusting.......

This opinion may be frowned upon but I say go for it and make your best effort from now until you have a baby in your arms....

foot on the floor effect maybe.....basically an energy contribution from the liver.....

Levemir is a long acting background insulin like Tresiba, last about 12-18 hours, obviously everyone is different and larger dose will last longer.... So you can split it evenly over a 24 hour period, but it can be split unevenly too, so a dose before bed, so 8 or 9 hours, then a dose at...

I would experiment with the timing of your basal [tresiba], you could maybe move it to before bed instead...... I would definitely do a basal test over night also.....your evening meal hasn't got any carbs so that makes it ideal to test the basal.....you may need to adjust it upwards..... I am...

I had this identified in both eyes..........very early stages..........attended the eye specialist every three months for a year and a half.....then eventually went back to annual photographs...... so it may seem scary, but it can get better if you keep control as tight as possible........ the...

Mixtard 30 has a mix of fast and slow acting insulin and is usually taken twice a day.........so I don't understand why the quicker actrapid insulin has been thrown in the mix..... Doesn't mean the combination wont work if the patient has the need for it.....

Before the pump I was seeing a drop of 2.5 for every unit......and in fact used a different correction between 6am and 1130am, I used 1 unit:1.5mmol...... So you can have different levels of resistance at different times of the day, even during periods of good control.... you should try and go...

When your body has high blood sugars and indeed when you have been running higher for a while, you will see an increased resistance......and so what you should be thinking about is adjusting your sensitivity/correction factor in order to give more per mmol drop..... this should only last a...

I can talk to my misses about it all and she understands it all......but I don't go in to much details these days through fear of boring her.... ultimately I don't need to talk about in any detail with anyone...... I told her about my recent HbA1c improvement, as well as my success in getting...

Well, you would be expecting the AM Lantus to be finishing up in the evening........yes, its meant to keep going to 9am the next morning, but in reality it wont be....it wont be very strong anyway.... You should follow your doctors advice, but I personally, would be tempted to take the new dose...

Age and seasons as well as weight loss/gain can all have an effect on your insulin needs...... have you tried looking at your basal to see if you can adjust that first to minimise the disruption to the bolus ratios?

The insurance surgery. an online broker..........they got me a deal a couple of times....

Why does someone's classification on their profile even matter the slightest....?

nice one

What sites have tried so far......? What cannula type is being used.....? I use quick set but I would think that may be too big for a small child...... The stomach and upper thighs always work good for me....

This is what I have.....fortunately I have been put back to once a year photographs as opposed to every three months at the opthalmology , which I am taking as very good news........but still need to keep it as tight as humanly possible.... @tim2000s , how did you get the images....?

With the exception of more insulin and metformin, the only other option would be limiting carbs.....

In an effort to loose weight me and the wife are trying this herbal life programme, so basically two protein shakes to replace breakfast and lunch and then a 500 calorie dinner.... I have never bolused for protein as I have always had a moderate level of carbs in my diet, but I think I might...

you would likely end up needing less insulin on the pump but I don't think the omnipod would hold enough for you.... Medtronic models would likely be more suited..... I think you have a good a chance as any at getting funded...so just start the conversation..... the tubing of a conventional...
