I'm having this problem with my daughter (16mo) and her team, I had to really push just to get acknowledgement that huge spikes above 14mmol are a bad thing even if they do come back down in a few hours! After an infuriating meeting with the dietitian where she acted like it was ludicrous to...

Yes that's the approach I take too but still doesn't work :(

Very frustrating talk with the dietitian, I'm sure you can all imagine how it went, apparently wholegrain toast is nice and healthy and I should carry on giving it despite the 14+mmol readings :/ Anyway she is at least going to request us use of the CGM while we do food diaries. I'm left...

Thank you its encouraging to hear it can work!

This is what I thought thank you. Just trying to understand why the nurse wants to up doses when it seems the insulin just doesn't work fast enough

If it takes 4hrs to come down does that suggest the dose is wrong?

If you inject your rapid acting insulin and eat how long do you expect it to be before your blood sugar is back in target range?

We're sugar addicts, don't be so hard on yourself :) at the end of the day sugar is more addictive than cocaine and it's everywhere, no one sees the problem with it. I'm not diabetic but eat low carb for health and because I'm a full blown sugar addict, I fall off the wagon regularly sometimes...

It is but I also would like to know for older people mostly for curiosity :)

We just got the accu chek mobile and it's fantastic

Just curious how you deal with it as usual advice is a carby snack :)

Now this is very interesting, we plan to get a puppy in future and I wondered if we could train it like this as we have 2 type ones in the family now it would be extremely useful!

But also if she's not on the glucose roller coaster all day it's much easier to see if there's issues with her basal dose, I've give her low carb dinners before so I can see how the levemir is working through the night. As far as we can tell her basal does work nice and steady over 24hrs more...

Honestly if the insulin was working as it should then I wouldn't low carb her because it is restricted but I feel like there isn't many options plus the DSN suggested reduced carbs (presumably because she knows we aren't keen on a pump for her just yet)

She's on one unit of levemir, it was reduced because it was causing hypos in the night

Thank you for this

The spike is about half what she gets with carbs though

The 3.5 was because the insulin had kicked in and she had a slice of toast
