Really interesting to read this - thanks @noblehead and @robert72! :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi... What do you mean about finding tresiba flat... Do you mean you don't see a peak with it..? Does it last 24hrs or do you split the dose? Is it made the same way as Lantus and Levemir do you know..? I've not heard of Tresiba - hence my curiosity to know more... :-) Sent from the...

Signy - you are a superstar!! :-)

Agh - you lot are amazing - thank you!! Lil bit quick reply as I'm just about to head away for the bank holiday weekend - but loads of super helpful suggestions for me to try! Thank you! :joyful::):joyful:

Ah - now that makes sense! Great advice / insights @jddukes thank you!! :-) .... and - I might try skipping the blue lips @CarbsRok... ;-)

Hey @ArtemisBow - I'm a fellow newbie too - so only going by what I've learnt so far too... but... I think you may have "stacked" your doses... ? I did the same (on my first day on insulin!) and so now never correct any miscalculations until at my next meal - which is usually around four hours...

PS - I've never 'felt bad' eating eggs... Just that the time I reintroduced them after four years not eating them, I 'suddenly' became t1... But as I said in my original post - I don't know how on earth I'd know if there was any connection or none whatsoever... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

... It's not the taste I dislike - actually quite like a poached egg :-) its more the antibody test and auto-immune side of t1 that makes me avoid them... Cos I *think* I'm still in honeymoon (so still have some beta cells working) then I'm paranoid about having some sort of auto-immune response...

Brill replies as ever... Thanks all! :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

@Mud Island Dweller if you did manage to get hold of them that would be awesome! I do eat *lots* of seeds / nuts etc - but just nuts and seeds and green veg can get a bit repetitive... :-/ Interesting @jack412 re your ex.... was she OK with goats milk/cheese then? I have requested to see a...

Ah.... so do you eat any/all cheeses....? Well done re the choccy - it's always been my achilles heel!! Berries are good - seem to do fine with strawberries particularly - hooray! :-)

Ah, thank you - I'll check out that bread...! Its so interesting you say you're coeliac - I was just reading about the link with dairy and intolerance's - and, apparently, there's something to do with casein (in dairy) and gluten that are interlinked (ie, if you're intolerant to one, you're...

Hi all; So, I was reading / replying to a thread about starting insulin and weight gain - and I replied as this has been an issue for me too, so I wanted to follow and see what others recommended. The overall response was to low carb (and some said calorie count, some not) - which I do get...

Hmmm.... really interesting replies.... Although I'm still a bit stumped as to how to reduce my carbs without basically living off nuts and salads.... So as not to hijack this one, I might start a new thread - cos I *really* want to get the balance on this right....

Ah - good point @CarbsRok re the absorption.... I might do an experiment - as @Stewart1805 recommended! Orange juice is also preferable... it's funny cos I can't think of anything worse than full fat (or any!) coke @Engineer88 :D :D :D

Hi all - I was just wondering... is there any reason that people do/don't use honey to treat hypo's? I've only experineced a couple of lows - not full blown hypos - but did use gluco-tabs both times as I was out and didn't want to drop lower.... gosh they taste disgusting don't they?! :wacky...

Hi... following as I'm in a similar position - started insulin about 6 weeks ago and have put on about 6lbs/3kg... on top of getting used to everything else, it is really distressing - so I can very much empathise... :-/ I'm lower carb than "average" and higher fat than average too - though no...

Hello fellow Artemis fan :-) .... This is a bizarre reaction and would make me very cross in your shoes. I am also a t1 in the honeymoon phase and would have no way of knowing what's going on if I didn't test at least pre & post meals and before bed... Often I test more than that - especially...

Interesting theory re the metformin @Daibell ! No idea if it's possible - but on face value sounds it...

Defo agree with the rebounder comment :-)
