Hi - Eat about 30g carbs at breakfast 40-50 for lunch and anything from 35 - 60 for evening meal. Try to eat as 'normal' meals as possible - not too low in carb as tried a coulple of times eating a ham salad with grapes at lunch a couple of times approx 25g carbs and levels skyrocketed and...

Think i must be doing something wrong - been micro managing this condition for 18 months...at times seem to have cracked it, changes to carb ratios, correction ratios, no alcohol, lower carbs, pre-bolus timings etc etc then as soon as i think ive cracked it BS goes heywire and back to the...

Hi guys - hoping for some advice please - plan on doing a basal test this evening from 16:30 - 22:30 all prepared for it (pending on my bs levels at 16:30 that is) and i wear a freestyle libre sensor. Question is that i normally get to bed at 10:30 pm which is when my basal test will end - I am...

Hi Duncan. - Welcome - Been T1diabetic for just over a year and took a while to get out of the Honeymoon period, during that time blood sugar levels were all over the place - you are right with regards to taking insulin based on meals and snacks etc however it all depends on the amount of carbs...

Hi there - I use the Freestyle libre and there is an app on the playstore called librelink (I use android however I do believe the app is also available for IOS) - I find the app much more detailed - however - still use the libre reader a couple of times per day as the printed reports off the...

Thanks for that just what I was looking for :-)

Hi guys was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a good app to find out the GI values and Glycaemic Load of foods. I use an Android phone I have downloaded a couple but they seem to show different values and the UI was not up to much so uninstalled them. Failing that are any good...

Cheers for the info.... Much appreciated[emoji4]

Cheers for that - never done a Basal test - i take my Toujeo as my basal at 8:30pm - could i possibly trouble you for some advice as to the best way to procede? I am also currently also using a freestyle Libre system as i wanted to find out what was going on with my BS throughout the night

Cheers guys will do basal check.. and post results in due course:)

Could this be the DP... used to have to inject an aditional unit of bolus to counteract the DP rise (used to have a 4 mmol rise between hours of around 5am - 7 am... but now dont inject for the rise as have been eating within 30 mins of waking and by doing this dont seem to be getting the DP -...

For breakfast i wake at 5am test then usually have a 30g banana 20 mins after injecting at a ration of 1:11 have been doing this for past couple of months.... at two hour post nanna used to be around 8.5 mmol then by 11:30am around 5 - 6 mmol lately like i say been down to the pre meal readings...

Hi and thanks for the response - not done a basal test as blood sugars seem to be stable over night no particular peaks or troughs and wake up now with almost the same levels as when i went to bed and between meals levels seem to be quite stable... ie after the initial rise after meal and the...

Just thought I'd share in the hope of some advice. Was having major problems with high post meal spikes especially after lunch where was hitting up to 21 mmol 1 hour after eating dropping to 8 - 10 mmol at the 2 hr mark but nicely at target 4-4.5 hours following injection. At breakfast was just...
