Hi Cathy, welcome to the forum...... 59 isn't too bad.....fingers crossed you smash your target....

You should try and get your meal time insulin in a bit earlier in that cast then, in order to reduce that spike...... it may be that your unborn child has changed the speed at which you are digesting your food.......;)

Congratulations....... I think you just need to respond to what your meter and Libre are telling you...... if you're doses now aren't doing the job you need to adjust your doses upwards.....if you're spiking after meals, fiddle about with the timing of your dose..... testing/scanning much...

This has happened to me and basically they force one of the sharp tools down in to the root and tug from there.....it is likely that breaking and snapping the remaining tooth will need to take place in order to get it all out..... it doesn't hurt or anything but there is a lot of tugging and...

It seems your treatment of the hypo at 2.5 was successful as you woke with a perfect number....no? why did you go low....well, its very likely an insulin dosing issue.....why it didn't work the same as it normally does is basically a mystery....although you could repeat the same conditions...

That's not a set time, its just the time you have chosen to have lunch....... when you test at dinner time or whenever the lunch dose runs out, and you see the result, its the lunch time ratio that is adjusted..... from when you wake till 12pm, you have concluded that 1unit deals with 5g of...

The 2:0 ratio essentially ends at 12:00pm, so you would use the 1:5 after that time... what is that the actual ratio [insulin resistance] at 10am, who knows.......it would be possible to work it out I suppose, but its not really required as insulin dosing isn't that accurate.....compared to the...

same day every week was what I done, as soon as I get up, and after the toilet.....;)

Just keep drinking as much as you can and test your blood glucose and ketones every two hours..... keep taking your basal insulin as well as any bolus corrections..... if ketones are present then they will need bolus insulin to be dealt with.... have you checked ketones before?

Sorry to hear of the diagnosis....... I have no experience of this unfortunately.......I would say that coming down slowly is probably a good idea but mid to high twenties is still up there in the very high range.....so, seems a bit off....

I personally think all doctors should know how to do it, but if they are not confident probably best getting a nurse or someone like that.... I assume the b12 injection isn't into a vein...?

No reason why he shouldn't be able to manage on his own with the tools and knowledge available today.... I agree with what has been said so far......lots of questions to answer....

That honestly sounds lovely and what France would be.........

I think some people think its great for pain............I don't know how it can help blood sugar control though..... as for the cannabis side of things, the controlled substance has been removed...

A lot of people, myself included, have just added it on to their home content insurance..... there are companies out there though, which I am unfamiliar with unfortunately....

When I have weighed in on a daily basis it goes up and down.....so its not telling me what is actually happening.......that was the logic behind my comment......but that doesn't mean you shouldn't weigh daily if that's what you want to do.....

I hadn't known about counting carbs until DAFNE in 2009 [diagnosed 1999], but even so, that's just one, very easy part to the whole process......its all about the dose adjustment, spotting trends, basal testing etc........its good to meet other diabetics too......

This is interesting and definitely worth exploring.....

Surely a daily weigh is pointless.......

My insulin tends to behave as it says on the tin, 10-15 minutes to get going.....so I always give that amount of time as a minimum......
