I use a new one every time for my daughter but I know my OH uses his a few times at least. I don't understand why you wouldn't use a fresh one each time personally it's just unhygienic in my eyes

That is interesting, thanks for the response

Sorry should have specified, I mean the recommended diet from HCPs

It's not a one off thing but okay, I'm not having an argument over it [emoji50]

We also have the mobile cassettes and the pharmacist nearly passed out when I told her I need 3 a week [emoji23]

I think the biggest factor is that it's her choice, if she doesn't like it she can just go back to MDI

Explain this then http://live.smashthefat.com/why-i-didnt-get-fat/ You can eat many more calories a day when LCHF and not gain, I've experienced it myself it's extremely odd

I'd be interested to hear if anyone can achieve a hba1c under 6 while eating a 'normal' amount of carbs

I believe keeping tight control of your blood sugar will be the biggest factor in your options, this surely will eliminate many risks. Induction carries it's own risks, you just have to choose what risks you're willing to take! As above its certainly possible and it's your body so no matter...

She's 17 months. As a minimum always should check when waking/before breakfast, 2hrs after, before and 2hrs after lunch, before and 2hrs after dinner, before bed and at midnight. I test between these too though so I know what's going on with her levels

How would you fix those things though?

Oh yes I just use it because my maths is appalling, common sense above all else if it seems not right I work it out myself :) So if 0.5 will drop her approx 5mmol for 10 and under is there a guide of how much it will drop her at higher numbers?

Yes I gave correction before her breakfast and eventually she came down to normal range after peaking again from the breakfast, why do you think it was too much? I spoke to DSN and basal and meal doses have been increased

Trying to change settings for DDs bolus calculator and the ICF has me in a pickle! I know it's 100 ÷ the average total daily dose but hers is coming out at 15 and it doesn't seem right. I know if she hits 10mmol and I give half a unit it will bring her down to around 5. Her total average...

This was what I was thinking myself :)

Well stress increases blood sugar for many people so it makes sense there would be a link although I'd say it just makes it apparent, you would always have been type 1 just not showing the symptoms yet I believe

I think they dropped it down to 1 because 1.5 is an impossible split, the smallest I can give is .5 I'll be ringing in as I say it's just always good to have fresh eyes looking at the numbers, you lot pick up on stuff we miss :)

I'll be calling later I just like to have an idea before I do because they always seem reluctant about changing things

I'd try and work out your protein just so you can be sure you're getting enough but wouldn't stress it just this once :)

It's not something I want to do, she has a good appetite and would not be happy about only being able to eat jelly lol
