Firs times for you means this kind of thing is perfectly normal.....you're still finding your feet.....lots of good times ahead.....;)

Could you say for sure its related to your diabetes.......? I often have the opposite problem......;) May it be the case that your partner may not be doing it for you......? In which case a conversation may be needed to ensure you are both getting what you want out of it.... I also wouldn't...

I am pretty confident most pumps can perform their basic functions quite successfully and so moving over to another shouldn't give you any issues..... I suppose the quality of the tubing and cannulas would be where issues could possibly arise.......best of luck.....

Poor young lass.... No doubt she wont be the only one out there across the UK that will be in this predicament....

15g of quick acting sugar is what I seek out for a hypo....so you should still be able to find that in lucozade.....you just might need to buy more now....if you choose to stick with that.... I personally buy 500ml of orange isotonic juice, which gives me two portions for a hypo....

What I would like to know is how the oil helps regulate levels/metabolism etc....

In all my years here I haven't seen any behaviour from mods that would be classed as unsupportive...... We are all keen to support each other in any way its needed..... Please stay and of course take all your medication....

Its a separate device which sits on the Libre and initiates a scan in much more frequent intervals via NFC and then sends out the data via Bluetooth to a device running an app like xdrip....its the app on the phone that has the ability to notify you with audio of certain levels of BG...

Ultimately you don't need Libre to successfully evaluate these new insulin's and adjust accordingly, but it will make it much easier to get to the right doses much quicker, specifically basal....

I get it now......wow, sorry about that.... I personally wouldn't expect to see any insulin get in......but it depends on how you go about the set change.... For me, I start the rewind process, unscrew and pull it out......then prepare the new one, screw it in once the rewind is complete, fill...

So you pull your old cannula out and put a fresh one in......yeah? Insulin is going to get the body as you are now plugged back in..... Sorry if I am not getting it......lol

I would say that it is possible to be LADA and have small levels of ketones....... I think every body has different thresholds to which ketones are produced......the same for glucose spilling in to urine..... Only the tests will confirm.....ultimately the sooner you get a diagnosis, the...

I don't think I understand what you mean.....?

The Levemir isn't connected to your carbs or meals..... you just need to speak to your team on how to establish your doses.... if they refuse, then there are other sources that can show you the way....

Na, I struggle now to lose it.....and I really need to.... my wee brother, who's 32, never seems to put much on and he has been diabetic all his days......we are built differently....

Throughout your diabetic life your basal needs will change, up and down.....for lots of different reasons..... there may also be dawn phenomenon going on.... the procedure is to do a basal test overnight......so no carbs or bolus on board, test before bed, test at 3am, and then the waking...

if its the still isotonic stuff, then 250ml has the right amount of carbs for a hypo, which is between 15 and 20g....

Still juice is decent too............ I uses 500ml isotonic sports drink.........half of that does a hypo......worth a look.....but maybe a bit big for a wee lad to carry about...
