Hi Ugo, welcome to the forum. Tonnes of help and information available here. Personally I would wait till you have definitive from your tests and your specialists determine which treatment is right for you at the moment (whether you are still honeymooning or not). I've been type 1 for nearly...

I try and surround my self with people who are positive, negativity breeds negativity. Now when I hear people complaining or being negative about the smallest of things (or thinking they can't achieve things) it really does wind me up and I can't stand the presence. Being part of communities...

Maybe you need to monitor you glucose levels closely with LCHF/KETO and it might be the case that you no longer require medication or need less? This would near enough eradicate hypo issues.

In a lot of cases the type of food eaten is only half the problem. The other half is the dose and frequency of eating it. If you eat too much of even low carb/high fat food that will have its own adverse effects. You need to produce a mixed meal plan that you can vary, consistency is key. If I...

As above, eat more nuts. 10 almonds are ~ 140 calories. I can eat 100g easy :) and that's 500+ calories.

Good point, if you activate the sensor with your phone, you can't use the libre device. But if you activate it with the libre device, you can also use your phone. TBH I've always used my phone as I have that with me all the time anyway. Once you get used to it, I and many others use a miaomiao...

You can use either the device or your phone to take readings or both independently. Using one will not transfer data to the other. Technically you only need to scan the sensor 3x a day to get the whole days data as it saves the last 8 hours of data. In the phone/device it keeps a record of how...

The miaomiao 1 will also work with libre 2, so no need to buy it especially for that. TBH with a miaomiao, I don't see any benefit of the libre 2 as it only gives high/low alerts, but you can get them anyway with miaomiao.

I was close to buying the miaomiao 2, already have the miaomiao 1. But looking in more detail, although it is smaller, the thickness profile is the same. My biggest 'issue' if I can call it that, it the thickness of the device on top of the libre and the miaomiao 2 has the same thickness...

The average blood glucose loosely converts to hba1c, You can check conversion here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html hba1c of 89 is an average glucose of ~ 13 mmol/L, so by the readings you are recording, it seems to be much lower in general. However taking a few readings...

I was ill for months, constantly thirsty, peeing like a tap, exhausted etc etc. Went to the GP many times and he never diagnosed it (which is another story on its own). But had a holiday booked which we was told would be ok to goto, as soon as the airplane took off I fell unconscious due to DKA...

I ate pizza the other night, actually had 3/4 of pizza, injected in leg for full amount of carbs I suspected and ate straight away. I find injecting in the leg works well as absorption is slower anyway and tends to match the release of fatty meals. All I did before bed was measure and inject a...

Usually go to the gym and relieve stress through weights and cardio to tire myself out. Helps greatly with reducing levels as well. Then I may have a rant to my diabetic friend :)

TBH I manage my diabetes independently, the minute you start relying on others for help, the minute you start to lose control. I have found over the years the more I learn and manage it myself the easier it has become. As much as my parents would try to help, they can never understand it fully...

Yes that's a good point, I have probably put 5kg or so on. Never really thought of it like that. Not sure what the science behind it is, and the effect of weight gain with muscle compared to fat.

Hi All, So may be a bit of a strange question, I've had a search but can't really find an answer. A bit of background: About a year ago I got back into fitness, wanting to lose weight initially as I had put on a bit whilst working away (I was probably borderline overweight on BMI scale). At...

There's a range of factors that affect the ratio, and I never get why people try and get into the gram level per unit of insulin, because its just not predictable enough to be that accurate. There could be a whole host of reasons why it occurs, maybe the late night meal was high in fat/protein...

There you go, that's the point I was making.

There will have been a justification along the line somewhere, most likely between the DSN and consultant, whether you saw it or not. Your CCG may not require reviews once issued if its on your repeat prescription, but that's not the case for most. I'm making others aware of why some may be...

Did you see the justification slip they put in for libre funding? It's on there.
