I'm back to working out what is best for me again I commented on here around March time when I had found the right way to do things but lately I'm back to square one with going low Left this morning at 7.7 after having 3 slices of toast with peanut butter. I stopped after an hour or so and was...

I was diagnosed T2 about 2 years ago now and then confirmed T1 in August last year. I went onto insulin etc and i signed on to do the Dafne course. Doing this course was probably the best thing for me as the group who I did the course with Iv kept in touch in a group convo so if anyone has any...

So far Iv worked right through the pandemic. I'm a bathroom fitter and due to me changing working ways back end of last year I couldn't even claim for self employed help. It ment I either had to live off my savings or carry on working and not knowing how long for. Before Social Distancing came...

Yeah our away crowd are usually always really good. Probably seen us quiet on 1 occasions this season. Shrewsbury and Gillingham. Gillingham was an awful away day. Ref made the linesman give an offside meaning we had a goal dissallowed Been to all games except 3 this season when I was away...

Hugely. I am not a big pasta lover but have really tried to start eating more when I go on the bike or play football Iv had to under inject the amount of insulin pre meals when eating pasta. Iv done my count and found say 7 units needed so I take that but 2-3 hours later I'm going into hypo...

That was our next game Blackpool but the day before called off. I was staying over and I was riding back to the North east by bike doing the coast to coast Morecambe to Bridlington. All this has put that on hold as it has our charity footy games I was doing it for Iv always enjoyed tranmere...

I agree it should be over. I'm a Sunderland fan. I go home and away every game so if they end it now we'd not even be in the top 6 so another season in league 1. I just feel the season is over and with what had happened it just seems like it's not going to be anytime soon to start at all I...

Just weighed myself last night as I knew I'd lost weight since my lady appointment at the hospital in March when I weighed 79kg I'm now down to 76kg Gone from 12st 4 to 12. I'd say this is the only thing about being type 1 you can benefit from. I'm really surprised as my bloods have been in...

6.4 at 8am. Been like that most of the day except pre cycling when I stocked up on carbs

Thigh is perfect. I generally use thay area for most injections, as long as you get it to the right area you never feel it I tend to have more issues with pain in the stomach but use this area when I'm say sat in the van having my dinner

Have you anyone else close to you that you can talk to? You might have to sit down and really talk to her and tell her how you feel. Other than that I'd say speak to a doctor and get help as it will only get worse Iv had depression and anxiety problems in the past and it's made me do daft stuff...

Sounds like you just didn't need your insulin. If you are having a snack which is very low in carbs you can just skip insulin. Such as a couple of biscuits I'd not have a shot for. When you carb count you will learn to not have insulin at certain times with certain things. I tend not to have...

1.1, ouch. I went down to 1.9 the other night before bed without even realising then bang I was hit with dizzyness, shaking, weakness etc and I felt awful all through the night I couldn't imagine being woken by paramedics, you must have really been bad and felt awful the next day. Strange you...

Iv was ment to be I've 0.4 is the readings you get with ketones There are different levels when you do your blood check This is totally different to normal blood glucose reading strips. If you get to 1.6 you are ment to go to hospital

Yeah that's the issue at the moment. Glad I got in just before all this kicked off for my last appointment Your bloods are high like mine were pre diagnosis. I was 15+ mornings and 23+ afternoons. I'm lucky I never really had any ketones, max Iv had was 0.4 which I just drank loads of water for

I love the libre. I have had it for a couple of months now and it was the best thing I'd done. I find it helps just knowing my bloods more on a regular basis. I am always filthy at work or out on the bike so it's good to just get a quick reading. The worst part I'd say is the time delay on...

Ketones can be really bad for people if not dealt with quickly. Iv seen people who have had to go into hospital and have a drip for a number of hours. Iv added a quick description from Google for you but please read up on them more On a meter when bloods are 13+ you generally get told to...

If they aren't interested then they just aren't worth the time to be honest. Someone should always accept you for what and who you are and take an interest. My partner read up about things and talked to me about it. She has the libre link up app and checks my bloods now and again and questions...

Totally agree. Stress definitely ups my bloods which is just not good Just relax and accept you have good blood readings. Also certain types of meds can increase bloods for a short time. I get this with codeine I'd hate to know how you'd feel if you had readings like mine of 25+ every day...

5.9 this morning. Nice and steady through the night down from 9 last night at a small snack
