Ooooooh now that is an idea, do you just grate it on top. I currently add the following into my porridge: Flakes almonds 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter Canderal Cinnamon And yes all those fats make it ultra LOW GI so no spike 'usually'

Cheers for all the info guys much appreciated. @doyco385 so I'm not training 'professionally' or anything like that I'm just very dedicated I have been into body building since about 17 am 43 now so been training regularly since then, as you know it helps to control the sugar levels so a double...

Guys on average how many carbs are in one 'normal' piece of say salmon or tuna sushi roll, not those tiny ones the normal one like this: I read somewhere that it's about 10g so 6 pieces would been about 6 unit's plus any additional items right?

Does Tresiba work for people that are very active?

Right!! I am getting aches and pains in my muscles and joints too, since switching to Lantus in Jan. 30 years plus on the 30/70 regime and been lifting for about 20 years with no joint or muscle pains at all part from 'the muscle burn' after a good session. Am I right in thinking that...

What makes you say this mate? TBH i'm not convinced by it either and am looking into alternatives.

I'm not a HUGE desert and sweets fan but I do like a decent chocolate and and then. Over the past 6-8 months I've discovered this bad boy: http://www.lindt.co.uk/shop/our-brands/excellence/lindt-excellence-90-cocoa-100g Only 14g of carbs per 100g awesome. Man I'm having like 1-2 squares a...

Most days I just wanna eat eat and eat!!! Since moving to MDI I have been doing just that* *Only when levels allow me to tho!!!

Hi all, As per the topic is there some place I can get a list of the background long lasting insulins that can be injected once a day that are nor Lantus. thanks

How much bigger then a libre sensor is that? Also does it hurt on insertion or when insulin is given?

I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens too, cycles of great control then a cycle lows and a cycle highs then all great again etc etc. Does anyone know why this actually happens?

So at about 3:30 I was still 12 so injected 3 units hoping to bring it down to 7-8 but nearly 1.5 hours later I am still 11.1. Mental. @Juicyj hhhmmm thing is the insulin worked fine last night and this morning, so not sure it's the pen. I guess I could try a new one later tonight and see.

Not sure the pen is faulty got a new one out last night and it worked fine this morning and last night. @donnellysdogs - hhhm never thought about the liver dump could be. Roll on 4pm I might just jab another 3-4 units and see what happens.

Nope not ill at all, this morning I took the 10u as usual but didn't manage to eat breakfast in time so went low post breakfast and had to have a small OJ glass to rise it, the the OJ rather then levelling off at 6-8 which it would normally would do shot it up to 12!!!! All very strange, Some...

So come lunch time my levels for some reason had hit 12 so I took 12u of NR to bring it down. 2 hours after taking it my levels where still 10 even WITHOUT eating anything, then I gave up due to hunger so had my lunch 20g carbs 40g protein and <10g fats. Levels are now hanging around 13...

Been T1 for around 40 years and been self funding the Libre since it came out, would not be without it now last night my sensor expired whist on a night out, so what did I do when I got home at 3am drunk as a skunk, yep pulled the old off and stuck the new one on!!!!!

So I've been on the MDI for over a month now and have been experiencing shoulder and joint aches since being on it, after reading up on it looks like a side effect of Lantus for some people and not others, see my thread here...

Will be very interested in your findings, I am considering the omnipod and am currently using the Libre too, started a thread here recently. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/omnipod-question.133732/

Thanks guys for all the information it's as usual extremely valuable. What happens in the event that a pump fails and your not neat home to quickly swap one? Do you guys carry a pen just in-case? If so would you take basel or bolus?
