Went to bed at 4.7 (had a small snack) woke up at 5.9. Felt really ill and couldn't face breakfast at all so in bed I gave myself 1u in the tummy. Got up, got showered, went to Sainsbury's and 1hr 45mins later I was 3.9. Hurrah, no stupid high up to 12.0 like the last few days. If I don't feel...

I shall give it a go tomorrow Nigel :D

so as soon as i get up eat my breakfast and take fast acting, do i not have to wait for the fast acting to kick in? thanks for replying :D

I can keep my sugar stable all night until I get up. Having my levemir at 9.30pm and 9.30am. Today I got up at 8.30am. My sugar was 6.4 and 1hr later 12.5 (not eaten) the previous day I got up at 9am. I was 4.2 and then had gone up to 10.0 an hour later, again no food. How can I cure this? I...

I've been with my boyfriend 7 years. He knew I was diabetic because he was my Boss :shifty: .. but I've never asked him if me being diabetic was of any concern to him. I may have to ask.. He may be itching to tell you but doesn;t know how to say it or how you'll react which is why I'd just...

I personally tell any one who will listen I'm diabetic and don't care but we're all different. If I were you I would tell him you know and he may then open up about it. Just don't ever tell him what to do, diabetes wise, I personally hate that .

Hi. I am having a pump holiday. Have you thought about splitting your basal insulin dose? I also increase my carb insulin ration when not on the pump and always wait 15 mins after injected humalog before i eat.

I think it's a good idea to ask if you can split it. Worth trying it and see how you get on. I am naughty I just try things out myself :P

Hi I'm normally on a pump, having a bit of a rest for a month and my total dose of basal is usually 16 in 24 hrs. The 12 in the day has worked in the past and seems ok thus far. I think I may need to lower the night though as I have much less at night on the pump and last night I had a 3.2...

Thanks all for the replies. I took 12units of levemir last night. I was 6.0 when I went to sleep and 5.0 when I got up. I took the same dose this morning. Will see how it goes.

Thankyou for your reply. Blimey, three shots per day, how many times do you have short acting? you must have to have a lot of needles per day.

Do you have just one dose or do you split it in two? How much do you use in 24hrs?

Can type 1s take type 2 medication to help them use the insulin they inject better? Just a random wondering I was thinking about last night when I couldn't sleep. Thanks :D

I have made a note of this. Ham though, i dislike fish :-) Cool bag is a good idea. I never thought of that!

what is a good low carb meal i can take to work? no use of a fridge! i am rubbish at know what meals to have. what do you guys have? thanks

Never happened to me on holiday or here when it's hot.

When I have done a set change I need to prime it with one unit of insulin. (Not sure what it should be for the length of the set tube inside me but I always use 1 unit) Anyway, on my Animas pump there was an option to prime the set and that one unit wasn't counted as insulin on board for any...

THANKS for being one of the 190 people to reply to me. I get a feeling I am not popular around here :lol: Anyway, it was my fault. The pump's date was wrong so the control was doing what the pump said. Whoops :oops:

I get my insulin out the fridge, fill up cartridge and then prime the tube and get rid of bubbles then stick it in the pump. Takes ages if the pump primes it, click click click... snore zzzZZZZ. My animas you could prime and the insulin would shoot out really quickly. That was MUCH better. Hey...

Every time I turn the remote on to test it reminds me of an infusion site change and says pump is 5 mins time wise out of sync because everytime i turn it off and back on again to use it it's changed to 14 dec 11. How can I stop this? have changed the date but it's every time now!
