I usually have 1 long acting insulin in the morning of 15 units. Then usually 3 more through the day of fast acting. My ratios are 5 morning, 10 lunchtime and 12 evening. So if I have 30 carbs at breakfast I have 6 units of insulin, if I have 30 carbs at lunchtime I have 3 units insulin. 30...

I have organic apple cider vinegar with mother as often as I can, often in a dressing on salads. I have been following the Glucose Goddess on Facebook and she recommends it. Anyone else follow her?

Tesco's own brand Greek Yogurt is the best I've found. 500gram carton.

I have found low carb wraps in Tesco. Called - Deli Kitchen. 6 Carb Lite wraps. 14.6 carbs per wrap. 29.3 carbs per 100 grams Found them next to the normal wraps near the bread section. I bought several packs today.... £1.50 for 6 wraps.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your reply. Yes it was all a bit of a shock to the system getting that diagnosis. Having no pancreas means that I don't produce insulin or glucagon, I think that's why my blood glucose are on a bit of a roller coaster. I do use the Carbs & Cals book and app and count the...

Just posted on here and read your post. I'm in a similar situation as you.

I am type 3C. I had a Neuroendocrine pancreatic tumour (PNET) found by chance after a scan. Huge shock! I had surgery at Kings, London in April 2022 when my whole pancreas, spleen, duodenum and gall bladder were removed. I am now on insulin, Creon (pancreatic enzymes) and daily antibiotics due...

I am type 3C and have been for 11 months. I had to have my whole pancreas removed. My diabetes is particlarly difficult to control. I hope I'm not more likely to get dementia or Alzheimers in the future :/

I found this book very helpful. There is also a mobile app.

I get cramp in my calfs and feet at night several times a month now. Only been diabetic for 9 months after having pancreas removed. Im type 3c and on insulin.

My Moto G7 Play mobile isn't compatable as has no NFC. I was given a NUU A5X from my diabetic team to use. Looks like a mobile phone but is just used to monitor the Libre 2 sensor. Works great. Only trouble is I have to carry mobile phone AND the monitor now.

Thanks for your reply. I think it's crazy that the BG monitor doesn't talk to the pump. So without the BG monitor do you have to go back to finger pricking?

I boil a kettle in the morning and put rest of water into a thermos flask to use later. I have ordered a Ninja 15-1 air fryer. It has 15 functions and uses a lot less electric than using the oven, also cooks a lot quicker. Can also batch cook and freeze half for another day. Ninja arrives today...

Hi Charles. What pump do you use please and do you use the Libre 2 as well as the pump? Does the pump alone give you low/high alarms? Im a new diabetic (5 months due to pancreas removal) and use the Libre 2. Hope to get some sort of insulin pump soon..... I think it will be the Omnipod.

I get terrible hip and sometimes knee pain in the evenings. I'm on Tresiba Degludec and Nova Rapid. Ive only been diabetic for 4 months after a total pancreatectomy in April. Have been on statins for years and had no problem before.

Ah shame they won't fit :( They look perfect. I dont always have a pocket so the lanyard would be good too. Yes I saw your post. What a shame :( Mine is the NUU A5X too.

They look perfect. Thank you. Will check some out :)

Unfortunately my mobile (Motorola G7 Play) is not compatible with the Freestyle Libre 2 blood glucose monitor so I have to carry the NUU monitor with me at all times. Does anyone know of a protective type case to fit please or any useful accessories?

Thank you so much for explaining. I think its all begining to make much more sense :)

I dont have the DAFNE course in my area but there is one called SADIE. I hope to muster up enough energy to start that soon to learn all about carb counting. I will then contact my diabetic team to ask when I can start altering my insulin acording to the carbs being eaten. The worst time for...
