Well, I have never used a Frio bag, but like I said above, if they reach room temperature they can't be put back in the fridge, as it is not recommended by insulin manufacturers. If the Frio bag keeps your spares below 8 degrees celsius then yes they can be put back in the fridge when you get...

Lowest 4.1, didn't go over 6 all day until now highest 9.7!

I didn't mean to put the 0 on the end, yes its 3g each tablet. Well that is good to know I was just wondering what effects they have had on others, I will test it when fasting to see if there is a rise :p

Im not sure I understand your question but I will try to answer. I have been told once I take insulin from the fridge and it ever reaches room temperature, not to put it back in the fridge, and it is only good for the 28 days. If you have had it cool and then put it back in your own fridge, it...

Hello, thankyou for replying, 1 tablet weighs 30 grams, I checked the nutrition online and there was no carb information, but each tablet provides 0 calories, does that mean the amount of sugar in these tablets is pretty much negligable? I also only drink it while eating my dinner or tea.

Sorry I noticed how much of an Idiot I was giving that advice and have edited my reply. I did not see he's second reply further down stating he is in fact on fast acting insulin.

You need to take Insulin before you eat, the humalog, are you carb counting?. When you eat if you don't already. Try to cut down on your carbs and sugary foods. Try getting a referral to see a Diabetic doctor at the hospital nearest to you, it will help if you can get some proper advice from a...

4.9 this morning when fasting, 5.9 tonight when fasting. Hey I could get used to this:joyful:

I have a good sex drive, but sometimes I lack energy, especially if I haven't eaten carbs in a good while. I don't know if it is testosterone issues, sometimes, if I haven't eaten in ages I think my energy levels get low, once I eat something, I can ' perform ' as it where :eek:

DAFNE course greatly reduced my blood sugars and introduced me the world of carb counting, 3 years after diagnosis, never heard of it before that just used to guess.

Speaking of apps above, the Mysugr app has been the best phone tool I have used to keep track of my bloods on a graph that I can see patterns, leave notes for myself etc, I have had much tighter control through that app.

Go you!:D:D you'll get the last laugh!

Hi all, recently been using these vitamin soluble tablets from Tesco. Stupid me didn't check the ingredients but noticed they contain. Maltodextrin Glucose Fructose Why? But anyway, how much do you reckon 1 tablet dilluted in water, raises the sugars? Or who has used them and noticed spikes?

What size needles are you on in (mm) :) and how do you usually inject your medicine? What angle? How quick to you press the plunger? Try slapping or pinching the area before injecting to see if it takes the sting off :)

I was diagnosed at 15 and started learning to drive at 18-19. You're best off mentioning you're a type 1 diabetic to any potential driving instructor as they may or may not let you drive with them. Before driving, try make sure your blood sugar is above 5mmol/L, you can still drive below this...

Recently NHS Sunderland CCG posted these posters around regarding paracetemol, , wasting as much as, apparently, £673,000, if it is given on prescription. I assume thats a rough estimate, but if you divide that by the 95 that happened in that year, it would work out at just over £7000 per HIP...

I get the vaccine every year without fail, except for one year I didn't receive the vacinne due to my own fault. I got a severe bout of flu, and which also coincided with a Kidney infection and throat infection, now if I had had the flu jab, I probably still would have had the kidney infection...
