I had this when I first started on the Lantus lows between 4-8am. I lowered the basal by 2 units and tried for a few days and was waking up with levels of around 7 so I increased it again by 1 unit and a few days later it seems to have worked, well for now anyway. So I'd agree with doing...

Guys I've managed to lose some muscle and added body fat during the last 6-8m due to my levels not evening out even with regular exercising, they seem to be improving now and wondered if these macro's where right for me. Also on training days I like to get the bilk of my carbs in during the...

Cheers catapillar. Also does the PDM allow you to manually enter a BG number before triggering a bolus. I guess what I'm asking is can I Libre scan and enter that number on the fly rather then taking blood on the PDM. Or is a bolus delivery only enabled after a blood test performed on the PDM?

@catapillar thanks for all your feedback. tbh my hospital have mentioned it in the past but I've always been abit unsure until now. One thing I forgot to add is how sturdy is it, can it easily fall out? Think busy ram packed rush hour tube, or a festival etc?

Hi all, I've been looking in to pumps recently and I don't really fancying all the tubing etc that many of them come with so the Omnipod in theory sounds like a good option but I do have some basic questions; and I'd be great full for the answers? Does the application and insertion hurt? I...

Hi guys, As the title is anyone here bodybuilding and on a pump rather then MDI injections, if so what are your experiences? Do you getting better control? Is diet easier to manage on a pump? Does the pump come in the way of specific exercises? I'm think of looking into the Omnipod, has anyone...

Why would trying it be an issue? Also isn't Tresiba 48hrs, meaning you can't tweek the dose on the fly it takes a few days for all changes to settle in, so probably not good for over active folks?

Hi all, Been on the Lantus for over a month now and tbh it's not been great I am experiencing quite bad joint and muscle pains since I started it, and looking around the web this seems to be a 'known but unofficially documented side effect if it'. So what are the alternatives to Lantus for a...

Thanks for this very useful. So let me get this right from say a meal that has 60g of protein my body may use around 30g of that for repair (I assume if I've had a huge heavy weight gym session this figure may be higher) and the extra 30g could be converted to glucose slowly, hence I could...

LOLz no I bottled it. Some of you guys are quite hardcore and ruthless!!!!

@Karen8976 can I ask how did you get to the number 30? why would I minus the first 30g? thanks

I am on the basal/bolus i switched about a month ago, I'm still figuring things out hence the question.

Guys I love a good smoke pit and bbq house think, True Reds, Bodeans bbq etc and in those places I usually go for slabs of slow cooked, pulled or BBQ meats with green veggies/salad etc so usually very very minimal carbs. Question is how does one bolus for this because it sends my levels sky...

How on earth would you inject through a pair of selvage jeans with something like a 0.5mm superfine needle. F**k i'm gonna give it ago.

After a couple of nights of highs I accidentally did this by cranking up the insulin, thankfully caught it before levels went under 4. Breakfast was good tho 4 eggs 2 breads Tea AND a HUGE bowl of Coco Pops as a correction - LOL

If so it it worth the extra premium? Kinda like the idea of a 'cleaner' area to take my shots. VIP VILLAGE • Access to Wireless VIP Village & DJs • Chill out area • 10 Complimentary drinks tokens per person (valid for wine, beer, selected spirits or soft drinks excludes champagne &...

cheers guys will give this a go.

I guess I was a bit worried that taking like 10u for a 35g carb meal is abit excessive.

As per the title. Say I take 25unit's of Lanus and i need to tweak it, and I change it to 27 does that 27 take place immediately i.e on the day of taking it or does it take 2-3 days until it take effect? thanks all

Exercise generally lowers me. In the morning it;s the usual rush around walk to tube station and get to work stuff. Afternoon is pretty much sitting around the computer working Evening is usually Training straight after work, back home, eat and jab and watch TV (every other day) OR Home...
