I'd forgotten about this forum. I saw it in my favourites on my old lap top. I quit the low carbs but I need to get back. I can'r go on with all these highs and carb binges. I felt SOOOOOOOOOO much better low carb.

4.8 today

2.15pm was 9.9 now 4pm it is 10.0 not going to correct yet just testing it to see if shoots up like yesterday

just have to test your sugar before a snack otherwise it just says what to give for those carbs and doesn't take in the IOB. it's annoying.

When I eat pizza which isn't enough :lol: I have a shot of insulin in my arm, the amount depends on size of pizza and if I've ordered sides!! garlic bread/wedges etc.... I then run my pump at 50% more basal for about 8 hours. Usually things aren't too bad.

Hi, yes, I liked the berries very much, I forgot to come back on and say. :D Last night when I got home from work at 10.20pm my sugar was 8.0 and so the correction had worked. I do split the doses and have them 12 hours apart, is that about right? I had my evening dose at work at 8pm and I...

no i wouldnt like that sort of insulin. fallenstar what doses of levemir do you take and what times? i took 15u at 8am and held steady til 4pm. now its 11.7 slowley going up as was 10 around 5pm. i have given correction humalog. prob either the protein catching up as ate at 3pm or levemir...

hello ! :-) its disgusting they restrict strips!!! mine give me 300 but dont always use that many so one month i dont order any. guess all is trial and error. today is a first try.had 15u levemir at 8am and eaten very low carb. sugars were between 6 and 8 however at work now so jumped to 10 but...

test in the night, are you going low and then your body kicks in glucose and makes you high in the morning?

Thanks, I thought this may be the case. I usually end up injecting around 6 times a day on MDI. So far I'm holding steady at 7 but am checking and will just see how it all goes.

It's different for everyone. Mine is set for 2.5 hours whereas when I injected I used larger doses and would last around 3hrs - 3.5hrs. I would do a bolus test.

I'm having a pump break. I often do this as my skin gets sore from the infusion sets. They itch, go red, get swollen and even 2 week old old sites are still sore. It happens sometimes. :crazy: Anyway, still on the low carb diet and wondered if anyone on injections can live on just two doses...

they sent me 6mm instead of 9mm dont fancy ringing and saying they got it wrong! next order i will ask for some to try. let me know how urs go

I will try fresh and frozen :D Hope I like them.

Excellent. I have just seen the frozen ones Fallenstar mentioned on the Sainsbury's website. I shall get some tonight on the way home from work and try them Saturday morning. I have work early tomorrow so it messes with me anyway but want to test them in my normal routine.

I like strawberries and I can def eat them and double cream... I will give this a go :) I'll give the blueberries a try, never tried one! Will have a look for that recipe too, you've been a great help.

Thanks. Have to say I've never really cooked 'meals' in my life. More of a beans on toast kind of girl 8) Reason for low carbing is for better control to stop the spikes. I'm 9st so my Doc says I'm an ideal weight . At work I kept going low and then eating lots then going high etc etc.. so...

Hi, I'm not that active but I do work in the evenings 4 - 10pm cleaning offices at the local factory and don't really sit down much in that time and there's lots of offices to hoover so I consider that my exercise :lol: The new overnight basal seemed to work last night so I will test it...

ps. how do i know if im in ketosis? doubtful yet seeing as ive needed carbs to cure the hypos!! had 42g yesterday and 56g today

thank you. yes better to run on the higher side. hopefully just a few adjustments and thanks for the advice. have included more fat today esp at work and its much better. i feel much better on the whole!
