    Pasta & MDI

    Hi @anouser1 pasta is a real hard thing to bolus for. Most will split bolus for it. ie maybe half before we eat then half at around the 1 1/2 to 2 hours after starting the food. BUT it is a total individual thing.....what works for me may not work for you. I am on a pump and do a dual wave...

    Normal Sugar Levels

    BG meters have a tolerance of 15% Where you have just been diagnosed as T1D your BGs would have been running very high, so to feel hypo at 5 is pretty normal. As your BG starts to get within "normal" range most of the time, then your hypos will start at around 4 and under. Unfortunately your...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Carb counting and injecting based on what you are eating. Ask your DSN about the DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) brilliant course that will help with your diabetes

    Wrecked my car. DUI charges

    Too much missing info on this one! For the police to charge you with DUI they would need evidence! ie a blood sample would have been tested at the hospital? Without that then a good lawyer would get you off straight away. How much beer had you drunk at the local bar after work, don't forget...

    Plus when you drink alcohol, your liver can only do one thing at a time and getting rid of alcohol is its priority so it will not release glucagon into your system. **** you Liver

    What if I'm not a Type 1 Diabetic???

    Hmmm, then would it not be more cost effective for the NHS to cut the test we get for diabetes and just send us to a reflexologist instead?
