Hah! :facepalm: :sorry: Thank you Beccy! When I click on the link I don't see the text immediately, and I don't get the scrollbars to hint that there is text below. I followed the instructions and immediately clicked on 'Please read this first' and never got back to that first page. That'll...

Hi @notafanofsugar . . . I've looked at this site and it's very interesting . . . nice that the Keto diet for T1 gets some positive press . . . Can I ask where the quote in your Post is taken from? I've looked on the site for this quote "a blog about testing the limits of diabetes. Lemming...

@Administrator, Please could you make the below thread a "sticky" thread, on the Insulin Forum?? http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-users.67760/ This problem with Lantus happens frequently, and it can be very frightening. Thanks & Regards :) Antony

Hi Stephie, I use LCHF and find that Humulin S works much better for me than Humalog did. The Humulin S profile is flatter and longer, and seems to match the effects of my LCHF meals much better. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/high-fat-food.84807/#post-954995 Regards :) Antony

Hi Stuart, What's your analysis of why this night time hypo occurred? Your Post #1 indicates that you think it was due to the large Insulin dose (in turn based on the large amount of Protein in dinner). Is this what you still think? I'm pondering the specifics of a night time hypo being caused...

Hi @Kesh92, All of these things, in combination . . . - Lantus Insulin - Injecting before bed - Hypo problem occurs overnight frequently - Hypo problem continues to occur even after dropping your dose . . . strongly suggest to me that you are having problems with the Lantus Insulin partially...

In response to Post #27 above . . . Drivers using any medication which may result in Hypoglycaemia must inform DVLA about this. Drivers on Insulin must further agree to test their blood-sugar every 2 hours during driving. But it certainly is NOT a requirement to "wear a medical id necklace or...

Hi @stepher10, After diagnosis I went for many years without wearing any form of medical alert ID; I never thought about it. I can't remember now exactly what persuaded me to start wearing one, but I've come to like it. I wear a silicone bracelet, which I don't need to take off for showering...

Hi @bhk, I'm T1 and have been using Ketogenic Diet / Ketosis for just over 3 years now. I've settled into using a cyclical Keto diet, where I stay in Ketosis for a sustained period (usually 2 weeks) and then have a scheduled binge day consuming a lot of Carbs. There are some reasons behind...

Hi @georgiac, Do you inject Lantus before you go to bed? Has your body shape / body fat changed in these weeks since you started running? Are you quite skinny? Do you have any lumpiness in the areas where you are injecting your Lantus? If you answer Yes to the first Question, and to...

:rolleyes: :greedy: Thanks to all who responded, for your information . . . much appreciated :) Antony

Hi . . . An appeal for info . . . I currently get 2 Bolus Insulins on prescription . . . Humulin S and Humalog (both from Lilly). They have very different profiles, and I use them for different circumstances (Keto meals; non-Keto meals; BS corrections). I find it useful to have both these...

Hi . . . There is a book available called "Principia Ketogenica". This is an index of all scientific literature regarding Low-Carbohydrate diets and Ketosis. The book gives a summary paragraph from the result of each study, then the details where the study can be found (book, paper, online...

Hi . . . From the below site you can download an e-book "Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes". http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/ It's co-authored by Ellen Davis (a nutritionist; she runs the website) and Keith Runyan (a Doctor, who is Type 1 Diabetic and uses Ketogenic Diet to manage...

Hi Matt, I had this problem for quite some time, when I was Low-Carb and especially after I moved specifically to Ketogenic diet. I couldn't seem to get the timing right. I discussed with my Doctor and she suggested to try a different Insulin. I moved from Humalog to Huminsulin Normal (this is...

Hi @Chook, I am on a very Low Carb (Ketogenic) diet and what you describe (low levels without any symptoms) has become my "normal". For me this strictly corresponds with whether I am in Ketosis or not. In Ketosis, I can go to very low levels without any symptoms and without any loss of brain...

Hi . . . I now found the information I was looking for . . . it's on the General Medical Council website, in their Confidentiality guidelines. There are some specific guidelines for Doctors with regard to DVLA. The info is here...

Hi, I searched online but have not been able to find a definitive answer to this question. So I turn to the forum . . . Does anybody know . . . Can a Doctor initiate contact with the DVLA, to inform the DVLA that they feel their Diabetic patient (on Insulin) is unfit to drive? Is a...

I've realised that I've opened a can of worms, and done nothing to help clear up :oops: So . . . from the options you listed, I think B is the best, over the long-term. D is a bit like putting a sticker on a box "Do not look at the interesting contents of this Box". I reckon more people will...

Hi, Thanks very much for your response and your explanation. I think it's a necessary step to put a clear notification, when a Post has been deleted or edited. This allows the subsequent Posts of a thread to be followed without an incorrect impression that somebody is talking nonsense...
