I'm constantly sitting above 10mmol every day and am constantly correcting. I feel a bit overwhelmed and not sure where to start so bought these two books. I've insulin resistance and take metformin on top of my insulin therapy

So a very frustrated type 1 here not able to get my head around things despite completing dafne. Sat with the two books in front of me here but which one should I read first??

Thank you guys. @debsugs do you recommend think like a pancreas? Is it easy to follow? I'm so keen to work out that and things like how many mmols a unit drops my bg/how many carbs brings up my bg etc x

Guys I apologise for the most basic question here. I have completed dafne and since then have been waiting 5 hours between meals as I was told novorapid is in the system for 5 hours. So... what if I want to eat my next meal say 3 or 4 hours post my last meal? I feel so stupid asking this but...

9.1! Which is excellent compared to my pre DAFNE levels of 18+ every morning.

So I'm type 1 on novorapid and levimer. I completed DAFNE a few weeks ago. They told us if we snack to 'park it' and inject to cover it at next meal instead of injecting at the time of the snack as this can lead to 'stacking' (at least this was my take on it). I snack a lot! A lot a lot! And...

That link was perfect thanks @catapillar

11.1 which is a massive improvement for me. I completed the DAFNE course this week and before that my fasting bg was always 17+

Can anyone advise me on the criteria you need to be eligible for the pump?

So currently half way through my DAFNE course. Some great info am enjoying it but one thing I can't understand... My BI I was taking split at 8am and 8pm. DAFNE recommend to take it on rising and retiring ie if I go to bed at 11pm take it then and again when I wake (as long as there is 7hours...

You'll learn to

I'm starting the course this coming Monday. I cannot wait as I've not managed to have good control on my own I'm happy to take all the help/info/advice I can get. I've had to take a week off work as annual leave but to be honest I havnt thought twice about it. After neglecting my diabetes for...

@zebs I can definitely see certain foods 'trigger' my binges. The sensible thing is to not keep these in the house. I'm defo going to stop that. Thanks :)

Hi jade I'm type 1 almost 6 years now and have had acrylic nails all that time with no probs at all xx

Only to find

Thank you @himtoo that's great to have a bit of insight. Do you think 7days worth of charting my intake/bm's/insulin etc would be sufficient?

Hi all! I'm starting the dafne course next mon. Can anyone give me a heads up of what to expect? Will interaction be expected? I have social anxiety so want to be prepared. I also desperately want to start lchf and am wondering will any information be provided on this? It seems somewhat...

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. After posting this I plucked up the courage to contact a counsellor who deals with binge eating through CBT. I start my first session on Monday. Between that, this amazing group and my DAFNE course the following week I really hope I can get some sort...

I havnt told anyone @azure. I'm really struggling. I have a dafne course coming up in a couple of weeks I might try and find the courage to tell my dsn then. @Jaylee I've just this week started to record my carb intake etc. I'm thinking of trying to get some counselling xx
