Re: Repeated hypos after giving the normal amount you would Hi, I've been t1 since 2000 also, and been having many hypos lately...I would never have stopped to think it was warmer weather, but I honestly think that was what it was! I have been pumping since aug and had settled into a regime...

Ooh yeh that looks like not enough background to me. You could split your background so you cover 24 hrs....of course discuss with dsn, but lots of peeps do this. (I used to have 2/3 at bed then 1/3 in morn, but this moved around when pregnant and ended up being the other way round :/ I'm on...

Sounds like a possibility, but it could also be that your insulin:carb ratio isn't high enough, and your just not getting enough insulin to cover the carbs your eating. If your bg is just higher 2 hours after eating then it's prob as above, but if your bg is higher than you'd like before meals...

Hi heather...did you go ahead with ivf? How is life as a t1 treating you? I've been t1 for 13 years and after a natural pregnancy the first time round couldn't fall pregnant again so went down the IVF route...happy to share if you're interested! X Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi, I'm following slimming world (lost a stone & half so far, halfway!)...there is tons to choose from that is lower in the carb department. Ask your consultant about the 'original' (red) plan. If you asked them to help you plan low carb options I'm sure they'd be happy to help. Sent from the...

Well done! Fantastic news all round. So glad you're feeling better too. Xxx Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Yep I think police stations should have bg meters. After all they are 'provided free'. Would save having to get a doc out to do it, which prob costs quite a bit. Then appropriate action could be taken, wouldn't take much to write up a procedure to follow. I have been out many times without a...

Thanks dd, I need to be bolder & experiment! I think I should set up different basal rate settings so I can switch to an active day setting, or less active day and trial them on such days. I thought i'd give myself another day before tweaking, and no hypos so far. In fact slightly hyper...

0.8 during labour, due to delay in being hooked up to insulin/glucose sliding scale thingy. remember being sick over everything/everyone and nurses pouring a jug of glucose mixed with water down my neck! Vile. This was 11 years ago, don't know why they didnt just shove a glucagon jab in! Then...

Blummin hypo's, they're so yuk. I've been t1 13 years now, and just when I think I've got a handle on control, it all shifts again! Been having a few more hypos than usual over last few days, a paticular whopper last night that left me completely exhausted, and I felt kind of hungover today...

Ahhh, please ignore the post on other thread...about popping a couple of units in whilst he's asleep! I thought his bg before bed was 26! Oh good that's he's come down! Poor little man :( yep I bet you're poised for a hypo now, hope it doesn't come and he remains stable thru night. Good luck...

I know I'm repeating my reply from yr other thread, but...painful stomach/feeling sick, sounds like ketones are about? Wouldn't be a shock if he's that high, what was ketone reading before bed? That is too high to be going to bed on...can you pop a couple of quick acting units in now whilst he's...

Hope someone can relate to this... I've been on a pump since August, and since fiddling around in the first few weeks & doing lots of adjustments, settled into a regime that worked for me. I don't really change the basal rates unless I notice a pattern and then I only tweak by 0.05u per hour...

Painful stomach/feel sick...gastro? Or ketones? Read and heard of ketones causing pains in stomach & feeling sick lately. Test them again in case rising? Agree...needs quick acting insulin to bring bg down before ketones add to the problem. Do you know his insulin sensitivity I.e. how many mmols...

Hi Megan Some fantastic, caring comments here, as usual! The fact you posted on here shows a desire to tackle your situation. You say you appear healthy etc, but honestly...you need to start taking this disease seriously or you won't have that luxury for much longer. You dont get to choose...

Agree with Sid...would use them up if there's no difference. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Bio oil is a branded product, v expensive but fantastic at helping reduce scarring etc. boots sell a similar own brand oil, 'nourish oil'. My feet have started buzzing since jan, quite shocked as 'thought' (and had been told) that I've always had good control (am striving for tighter control...

Thank you jar! It's tough for anyone to 'manage' this condition and live a busy life lets face it! I've always thought i was doing well, but I am not satisfied with that any more, I want 'excellent'! And realise that required a little more focus & involvement. Hanadr, where is that average bg...

How's the bg today? Is she ill, got an infection? Could there be a reason she's running higher? Hormones/puberty? If bg remains higher perhaps you could run a temporary basal rate slightly higher? Sorry if I'm suggesting obvious things, I've been on a pump since aug and I had a couple of weeks...

Poor thing, sounds horrid. Have you tested for ketones before when there aren't any? Does it show 0.0? Wonder if its just a hangover from what occurred? & this mornings is from being 14 something, has she come down now? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
