I’m a terrible example but I actually don’t, I check my levels before I go out but generally if I’m going shops I take nothing, if I go for a long dog walk or something maybe a bottle of lucozade, or if I’m on the drink I don’t take anything , make sure I have a bag of crisps or something every...

Must admit I just travelled to New York then Texas and when I got there and when I arrived home I didn’t allow for time difference, whenever the clock said [emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]am that’s when I injected and no really affect to my levels

I’ve found to be it a trial and error thing, I’ve had T1 four years now I think, diagnosed over Covid. Since then found my routine with good and drink as well as exercise (if you do this is one that caught me out originally) but I typically No breakfast Lunch is usually meat and veg and rice...

Definitely regret saying yes [emoji23] like weights because it doesn’t effect my levels going low, just a slight increase when I push it ! Plus…running isn’t fun end of!!

Yeah I only buy lucozade to control mine, sweets and things like that I find hard to stop at 4 and nail the whole pack so don’t buy them - no self control You’d have to educate me a bit more on the T2 argument there as always thought you get that due to lifestyle rather than medical so I have...

Well I didn’t know I could get the glucose gels on prescription [emoji23] so May look at that as with work I’ve been asked to do a half marathon which will be a tall order for me considering I can’t walk up hill on a treadmill for 15mins without dying [emoji23] Was thinking more for government...

Do you think diabetics should be charged sugar tax? I know without being T1 I definitely wouldn’t be buying as many sugar products as I do to control my lows while gyming and exercise

I had the same and now on Lantas I find my readings are higher when taking the same dose, used to be 22 units and coasting at 6ish on my bloods, now I take 28 units on lantas and I’m consistently at 11-12

Good and bad days will always be there but forums like this are great I find. A lot of people who don't have to deal with the constant calculations of carbs and insulin etc etc will not have the same understanding, but just keep going [emoji4] 1 bad day, 2 bad days...there is always a good day...

Sounds correct that you're body is judt adjusting to it all, when I was diagnosed and released from hospital, like you went in with a BS of 38, my sugars would constantly go up to high teens. My long lasting insulin I was taking in the morning, but found a switch to take it before bed helped...

I think you're doing fantastic [emoji122] I was ill over Xmas and my levels were great, just one of them things that most things can effect BG levels - I used to find it funny how over night I would have a dead straight line around 5-6...then the closer I got to work time my levels would shoot...

There is no perfect scenario unfortunately, you look like you're doing great [emoji119] When I started this journey like you I tried to get that straight like as I am a perfectionist and love a challenge [emoji23] but experience has taught me not to be controlled by T1...continue to live a...

I've been type one for just over a year now and jumped on the Libre 2 as soon as it was available to me. I don't find diabetes a struggle but the one thing I hated was the finger pricking! So find this makes everything alot easier I order patches from a company called Type Strong which help...

I've also been a tad confused as my 1st check up since diagnosis in March my HBA1C was 42 and had one last week which was 44. I keep getting told by multiple people (diabetics and nurses) that it must mean I'm having too many hypos but I definitely am not....I had a couple in November (one...

Hi all, Little advice needed please. Normal day food consists of very similar, low/no carb meals No breakfast Lunch- tuna/chicken salads Dinner- meat and veg Occasionally have to odd pizza if I'm having a lazy day but other than that I'm pretty strict with the diet. I gym 4/5 days a week...

Glad you have found something that works for you now [emoji4][emoji119] All a learning curve I suppose, but I will still keep enough stocks of the lancets etc just so I can compare the two readings as I did read a number of articles about the libre being hit and miss More to learn as always haha

Just received my Libre 2 system! Just waiting for the sensor to set itself up and reading some posts about it and the differences to the traditional finger prick. Was diagnosed in October and had my first Hba1c reading for the doctors 3 weeks ago...came back as 44 so very happy with that! Will...

What's the comparison with brown sauce and ketchup as I put it all over my scrambled eggs and don't see that it affects my Blood Sugars massively... I have recently tried giving up the majority of carbs bread, pasta etc etc and only inject my long lasting 10pm every night 22 units keeps me...

Lockdown happened, gyms closed, so I decided to control my diet a bit better and drink more water. Start losing weight so thought "Great" this is really working! Drinkjng maybe 7 litres of water a day so obviously peeing alot so thought that was helping with digestion hence the weight...

Was just an idea tbh Mike, wasn't going for a year or two so was never going to be a jump on the plane and go type of thing...wanted to do my research before even considering it [emoji108] My brother did it with little knowledge and loves it so just wanted to be slightly more equipt than he was...
