Hi @april29 . . . I am Type1 and answer your questions from that perspective. - How effective do you believe the ketogenic diet is in treating Diabetes? Ketogenic Diet is the ONLY diet I have found with which I can keep my blood-sugar levels under control. It's not for everybody, of course...

Hi . . . Some members here would have attended the Online Keto Summit last year . . . http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/online-keto-summit.107947/#post-1261750 Just a heads up that there is now an associated Q & A: https://ketosummit.com/questions You don't have to have registered for...

Hi @borderter . . . There are a selection of "Rapid" or "Short-Acting" Insulins available which have different profiles. Officially, NovoRapid has a duration of action of around 4 hours, but of course this will vary between individuals. For my regular (Ketogenic) meals I use Humulin S . . ...

Hi @sallymac65 . . . Is there any special reason why you would like to try to eat 3 times per day? Is it just to follow the official recommendations? Is it because you have an intuition that 3 meals per day is better / more healthy? You are already ignoring the official recommendations to eat...

Hi . . . e-book "Conquer Type 2 Diabetes with a Ketogenic Diet" available here: http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/diabetes-diet.html It's co-authored by Ellen Davis, a nutritionist and creator of the website, and Keith Runyan, a Doctor who has Type 1 and manages his Diabetes using the...

Hi all, I'd like to know forum members experiences with a company called TeamBloodGlucose, or TeamBG . . . From their website I paid for some sports clothing last year, but it never arrived. For weeks I've tried e-mailing them and calling their contact number . . . but all my attempts at...

Hi @ian_walker . . . These threads might be useful for you? http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-followed-by-2-9-hypo.95565/ http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-users.67760/ Regards :) Antony

Hi . . . Glad you found it useful . . . some forum members who experienced this problem switched to a different basal insulin - different insulins have different methods of action, and (I think) Lantus is the only one that works via this crystalization when hitting subcutaneous fat. I stayed...

Hi @broccoliSK . . . The following threads may be worth reading: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-followed-by-2-9-hypo.95565/ http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-users.67760/ Lantus Insulin is designed to work by forming tiny crystals after hitting subcutaneous fat -...

Have been using this very successfully in my Keto/LCHF cooking: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/low-carb-recipes.4871/page-2#post-158777 Regards :) Antony

I think those people who have accused @vans of doing something illegal are incorrect and being very unfair. It states on the DVLA guidance: Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia The Secretary of State’s Honorary Medical Advisory Panel on Driving and Diabetes has defined impaired awareness of...

@Copernicus . . . Apologies if my Post seemed confrontational – it certainly wasn’t intended that way! I comply with the legal requirements for driving, as I must, but for me it's the most difficult aspect of managing my T1. The only diet which keeps my levels under control is the Ketogenic...

Insulin Profiles of many different Insulins in the PDF. Regards :) Antony

Hi @Copernicus . . . Insulin-treated Diabetics must complete the DIAB1 form in order to get their reduced (1 or 2 or 3 year) license. On the form you must sign and date the following boxed statement: DECLARATION: For Insulin treated only – I have insulin treated diabetes and I understand the...

Hi @bhk . . . A few years ago I had similar problems to what you describe . . . I was generally eating low-carb and injecting Humalog, and in the 2 hours after eating I would drop too low. It made a huge change to me when my Doctor asked me to try Humulin S for my meals - the fit was much...

The opening page of the survey states that this is for T1s who are 18 and under, or parents of T1s 18 and under (not for older people who were diagnosed at 18 and under). I guess this is to get around the problems of trying to remember from too far back. Copy-and-Paste is below. This is a...

Hi . . . The standard Luxura has been discontinued (replaced by the Savvio), however the Luxura HD is still available for those that need the option of half-unit doses. As azure says, the pens tend to be manufactured by the pharma companies to fit only their own Insulin vials. This is...

Hi all, Thanks to everybody for taking the time to look. I've now found what I was looking for . . . it's in the PDF which @GrantGam1337 was pointed to by the DVLA. In Chapter 03 on Diabetes Mellitus it's mentioned that all insulin-treated drivers must follow the information provided in...

Hello, Is anybody able to provide a link to an official and up-to-date set of guidelines from the DVLA for drivers on Insulin? I've been searching on the gov.uk site today and cannot find such a thing. I found the instructions what to do to inform the DVLA that you have diabetes, and...
