I've been on this MDI for about a month now this is what I've noticed and couldn't help but think i'm taking allot of insulin for the amount of carbs I eat. Breakfast Around 10u of NovoRapid for 45g of carbs keeps things in check until about 11 then things start to slowly rise to the 8s Lunch...

Sorry for the late response but breakfast consisted of 4 eggs scrambled with a touch of olive oil Tea with 200ml of semi skimmed milk 2 brown bread toasts with natural crunchy peanut butter (made with 100% peanuts only, nothing added) Marcos = Carbs 43g, Fats 41g, Proteins 44g - Took 10 units...

Over night it somehow rises for a couple of hours then regulates itself back into range by the time I get up.

Basel is testing something I can do my self at home right, as it's basically fasting over a small period of time once the carbs and any bolus is finished and monitor the background insulin. Anyone know if there's a decent set of instructions and worksheet to download.

Sooo assume I have breakfast and take the supporting bolus to cover it and 2.5 hours later number return to pre breakfast and then in the next couple of hours they start to climb but slowly I am assuming the basel is out right? Example 07.00am level = 6 eat and take bolus 09.00am level = 5.6...

I guess what I'm asking is that if i had an in between meal with about 20g-30g of carbs should I take extra insulin with that meal or take additional insulin with the meal a few hours before? I just need to add more carbs to my diet tbh, bit prefer to spread them out.

So currently I have 3 main meals a day and take the bolus according with them. These meals are usually more then 4 hours apart so in theory the bolus is gone by then. Now what would happen if I at like a meal say every 3 hours and it contained some carbs, would I need to inject again and...

Cheers guys. I'm currently taking this stuff https://uk.usn-sport.com/en/pure-protein-gf1 and it says on the can that it contains BCAA's the question is do I need to take any more or is that enough.

Guys I've been training and lifting most my life and apart from a decent protein based diet the only supplements I take are a whey protein powder, glucosamine sulphate and cod liver oil. Over the past 18 months or so I've been hearing more and more about BCCA's, apparently they also help...

As above does anyone take this? If so how much? I've been taking 2x1000mg capsules a day. Also does this effect your BS, mine have always been ok on it.

I think i did a rough calculations on the total of number of times I've injected as my son asked, and it went something like this:- Ages 3-10 1 a day = 7x365 = 2555 Ages 10-42 2 a day = 12x365x2 = 23360 So about 25,915 in total not including days where you take additional shots or blood...

If I am at home then I take the NovoRapid about 10-15 mins before food. If out and about like today I end up eating 'eyeballing' the food and then take the shot straight away. How does one precisely work out a carb to insulin ratio for a specific time of day?

So over the last couple of weeks my post lunch readings are about 9-11 and they seem to hover around there until I get home around 6.30-7pm (the running round on the tbe tubes lowers them) Pre lunch they are usually around 5-7 which is where I like them to be. Usually I have about 30-50g of...

Been doing that anyway. Lets see it's almost lunch so I'll just take an extra unit or 2 if need be.

Porridge is hit and miss, may be you need to take a few extra units for it, that is what I am finding having said that I've only been on MDI for about a month,

So this morning taking my NR; needle in leg then click click and no click no matter how hard I pressed then thingy at the top, anyway so 9 of the 11 units were delivered before it packed up. This is scary **** nearly 40 years of using syringes NOTHING has malfunctioned 3 weeks on these pens and...

I usually add a teaspoon to my porridge in the mornings, in Greek yogurt with some sweeter as a snack or into my protein shakes. Love the stuff.

She's cute!!! Oh and thanks, will give it a go on cheaper items!!!!

Guys on the 30/70 regime i was using the ole insulin bottle and syringe so would never dream of injecting in public and or through clothes. Anyway does anyone inject through clothes? Is it hygienic I mean clothes have some germs etc on them anyway? Does it blunten the needle? And the most...

Cheers guys.
