My question to you kind folks is that I plan on going abroad on holiday some time soon and this is the first time going abroad since my diagnosis - I am T1D and obviously need to take my diabetic kit bag, insulin pens etc on the plane. Presumably I need to inform the airline but not sure how to...

13 months ago when I was 45.... DKA in Florida!!

I Hi Jaylee - thanks for the reply - am on MDI's at the moment - Novorapid and Lantus as basal - consultant has mentioned a couple of times that a pump is something to think about which I am really considering applying for.

Hi guys - as you probably are aware (if you have read previous threads) that I have been having a lot of issues running high especially 2 hours post meal. Thought I would dramatically reduce my carbs for my tea to see how it goes. A bit of info.. My insulin carb ratio at tea is approx. 1:9 and...

Thanks for all your input guys will take it all on board - still very much on a learning curve after 13 months - cant wait to go on the DAFNE course as at moment im just taking account of carbs eaten and not the effects of fat and protein etc and like with the chinese meal with rice a sudden...

Hi guys - Just thought i'd share and seek your views, opinions advice regarding white rice. Thought id have a treat for my tea last night and have a chicken curry with rice... mmm nice some may say may say... but not for my BS levels!. Read up on eating rice and have been lead to believe that...

Cheers for the advice.... Will try moving some if the carbs to an afternoon snack and see how it goes ... Was a bit reluctant to do this initially as may find it hard during work to have a further break 2 to 3 hours after lunch but will give it a go [emoji4]

I try to stick to 30=35 g carb for breakfast... usually at 5:15 am at a ratio 1:11 also taking into account the DP which I inject an additional dosage for..... breakfast seems to be not too bad as at the 2 hour post meal my BS is ususally the same or 1-2mmols higher than my pre breakfast...

Hi guys was just wondering if you could help me out. This may be a strange question but what do you guys use to carry your diabetes kits in? - Reason why I am asking is that I currently use a shoulder type canvas messenger bag (size is medium to large) which Is great to carry my kit in and...

Thanks for that will ask my diabetes team - doing the bolus testing while fasting could be a bit problematic during the night with considering work etc - so a monitor would be ideal .. even if it is just for he fasting and checking through the night will ask about that thank you :-)
