I have always had the flu jab, since diagnosis 11 years ago. I just don't wanna take the risk of getting that ill as flu for a 'normal' person is absolutely awful so I can only imagine what it would do to a diabetic! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I had a hypo like that the other night, pain in the bum! Hope your ok now! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I drink vodka with either diet coke or soda water. It never raises my bloods but I do hypo after quite a few drinks so be aware of that and eat a nice greasy portion of cheesy chips with reduced insulin before you head home lol! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hey, I go to the gym about 4 times a week and what I tend to do is reduce my insulin with the meal closest to my gym time and test before and after (and during if I need to). I also eat a banana before training and reduce my levemir at night to try and prevent night time hypos. Hope this helps...

Nope, I use the pre-filled pens and deffo no honeymoon, been type 1 for almost 12 years! I just can't seem to find a correct dosage... 17units isn't enough and 18 seems too much.. Maybe another insulin instead of levemir may help!? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Recently I've been having trouble with my levemir at night. It brings my sugar right down; I reduced the dose by 1 unit for two weeks to test the effect and my night time and morning sugars were sky high so I went back to 18 units. But right now I can't keep my sugars up!!!!! I had a BG of 11...
