I should stress that I am not recommending skipping Creon. I'm just saying that if I forget it (which is rare these days) I don't stress about it for one meal. And forgetting it for one meal doesn't cause any uncomfortable or even noticeable symptoms for me. Forgetting it might mean I am missing...

Australian labels also list fibre separately which is why the phrase "total carbs" was confusing me AU Label Carbs.......... COUNT THIS ........ sugars indented here, but they're already part of the carb count. It doesn't say "of which sugars" but they are indeed already counted in the carb...

I'm not recommending doses here but trying to define a "snack". If my biggest meal of the day is 3000 kJ and my doctor has said that I need 3 x creon for that meal (I'm about 90 kg) then I set that as my baseline. If my snack was 1000 kJ (which is 10x the size of my normal snacks) then I'd...

I'd be asking my Doctor (see other thread), or a specialist. There is a maximum recommended daily dosage of creon even though it may seem a relatively benign substance, and this maximum is based on your weight so the doctor who suggested you might be taking too much for your weight might be...

60000 for a snack does sound like quite a lot although your snacks are much larger than mine. There's a maximum recommended daily dose for Creon so if it was me I'd be talking to my doctor/health professional. My snacks (not all at once): a banana, 25g nuts, handful sultanas, pork...

I hope I've read everything right. Total carbs for your location/labels excludes the fibre, right? If so then I agree

I don't know if this helps, but this morning my libre sensor was 4.2, my countour next glucometer was 4.2, my freestyle libre2 glucometer was 4.1. Given that all these devices have an acceptable margin of error I'd call those numbers exactly the same for all three. For the glucometer I prefer...

The worst pain in my life was pancreatitis and I also had a stone blocking my common bile duct which affected my liver as well. I couldn't move it was so painful and morphine and fentanyl did nothing (nothing noticeable anyway). Their solution to my pain was to cut a hole in my neck, stick a...

4.2 yesterday. 4.2 today

Although "your body can store sugar more in the winter" sounds wrong (although I don't know if it's wrong or not), there's plenty of evidence on Google Scholar that your BSL can increase in the winter. Where does this glucose come from since you're on such a low carb diet? Gluconeogenesis (worth...

Yes, once too few might be, well, once too few I think they did it better this time by taking me off all food and getting my basal "right" first. This is just my opinion, though. Last time they kept me on hospital food, which doesn't resemble what I eat at home at all really, and worked out my...

That'll work. I weigh the milk I use in my coffee rather than measure by volume but it's such a small amount the difference is probably negligible, depending on how much you have, whether you go by volume or weight (carbs will be in weight either way). I don't measure the milk in every single...

Thanks. Yes, now you mention it I do recall now my diabetes educator wanting me to run my levels higher a few weeks ago anyway (I may have mentioned this is another thread) to improve my hypo-awareness which you may as well say is currently non-existent. This is perhaps the very reason why the...

Sorry I took so long to reply everyone I'm home now. 7 days (6 nights) in hospital. I was home the other day but have been too tired to even turn on the computer. I still can't add up properly but I think I'm just tired, nothing to do with BSL I went to 2.7 (or something like that) in the...

Neighbour is going to help

Ugh. I can't drive because I'm below 5.0. Thinking

4.2, which is not hypo but I can't get myself above it. Was 4.3 before lunch and even skipped bolus. Pretty embarrassing.

Mosterdsoep is excellent as well

1 cabbage 1 onion 1 bacon hock

It's only lunch time here. Baked beans for breakfast, skipped the toast. Will have canned soup for lunch. Not a great day really. I wouldn't be eating at all except for lantus... have to stop those hypos! Edit: I'm skipping my bolus (don't do this! My new regime says I can but this is not...
