Hi guys - I plan on doing a basal test this afternoon and as the weather is rather cool... was wondering if drinking black de-caf coffee (no sweetner) would have a negative impact on the test?... if i must drink water so be it but would much rather have a hot drink. Cheers in advance of your...

Done

When I used the Libre I found that it normally took about 2 days to embed, calibrate and the readings to settle. What I found that helps was to attach the sensor for 3 days before activating it.... Seemed to work a treat

Or it could mean ... Nice Allround Feeling Loving Diabetes :joyful:

Just a way out of the box thought... but do you use any type of alco prep wipes at the site of injection?... if so.. you may be allergic to the wipes and not the insulin?!... Dunno... just a thought

Not me... ususlly have 30 g at breakfast, between 60 - 80 g at lunch and anything from 45 - 130g for tea... followed by a few biscuits cakes etc in the evening (need a few treats in the day!... Naughty me!!) :-)

Cheers for that ... i know... basal in last 6 months has almost doubled and ratios dramatically changed.. think might keep an eye on it currently at lunch for further few days just to see if the past few days has been a bit of a 'blip'... if continues may then adjust my ratio at lunch to 1:6...

Hi GrantGam - thanks for the responce - yes last basal test over lunch perod was about a month back... and BS seem to be quite stable. Regarding the 90 mins pre bolus - I dont in a sence do that.. i have been bolusing and eating straight away... just postponing eating the banana until the bolus...

Hi guys - wondering if you could please give your advise / thoughts on sudden chages to my bolus ratio at lunch. Currently on a pump with 2 basal profiles .. one for work and one for weekends where i need less basal dues to activity / stress levels etc but bolus has always been the same whatever...

Fully agree . .. the official pump training is a must before you start pumping!.. at the end of the day this technical piece of equipment will be keeping you alive so you really need the propper training before you start!! In my personal experience my DNS advised me to start my basal on a...

Hi there I normally have the John west Pata pots and a banana for lunch and take full dose of insulin upfront approx 5 mins pre bolus and then have banana about 45 mins to 60 mins later which works great for me. If I just have the John west Tuna pasta pot I wouldn't pre bolus and do a combi...

Hi there had very similar issues when I used Novorapid was pre bolusing upto 45 mins in advance for some meals and still had very high post meal readings at the 2 he mark especially at lunch times. Since changing to Fiasp my post meal readings have greatly reduced and now pre-bolus between 5 to...

Hi there. I changed from Novorapid to Fiasp in April but am on an insulin pump therefore can not comment on MDI and using Fiasp. But for me I didn't really notice much difference in I:C ratios but my pre bolus timings have reduced by around 50% and the active Insulin duration has reduced for me...
