Hey pshawfocus I'm in my 40's been a T1 for about 40 odd years and been on the 30/70 most my life i lead an active life exercise regularly and HBA1c has always been around 5-6.8ish. Any way long story short I switched to the MDI NovoRapid and Lantus over the weekend and TBH it's a nightmare...

Just seen this thread. I've been T1 for 40 years diagnosed aged 3 around December 1978

I usually have this with some sweetener and vanilla essence added to it.

Currently I am on Pre-mixed twice daily insulin and on days where I'm lounging around in the mornings doing nothing active I have a virtually zero carb breakfast with such as:- 4-5 scrambled eggs with either turkey rashers or smoked salmon A mug of tea with semi-skimmed milk (I guess this has...

So guys, Looks like I am going to be moving over to Lantus and NovoRapid in the next week or so. Sooooo after 40 years of T1, 35 years on a pre-mixed twice a day routine I'm going on to MDI. To say I'm nervous is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Quick question for the bolus side of things do I need to...

Cheers guys generally better now thanks, food intake is returning back to normal slowly and I'm back at work. Occasionally getting the odd unexpected high BS spike probably due to virus not completely gone.

I hate it when you get those lows that never ever ever want to go up no matter what you try!!!! I had one a few weeks back 3.2 and dropping took me about 3 hours to raise it to about 5.5 must have consumed about 60g+ or sugary carbs in that time.

Cheers guys, yep I'm scanning like every half hour or so (thank god for the libre). I'm on the toast and soup at the moment had a low in the morning so had to have a couple of glasses of orange juice which didn't help, hopefully it'll pass soon. Also on the pre-mixed insulin it's not always...

I managed to choose the colour once I 'sobered up from the hypo'. Would love to have kept them all so yes was kinda of a tough choice!!!!!

tbh I was getting a bit fed up of praying to the porcelain god so I've taken some imodium and hoping for the best

Been using this daily for about 18m now, it's become a way of life, I do the occasional blood tests when the readings on the Libre don't match how I'm feeling or if I'm driving etc etc. Soooo the big question is how does one qualify to get this on the NHS? This has been a life changer for me...

Same here....If not I know a guy that

Bump, looks like Apple are allowing NFC data to be read from Tags, does this mean an App is on it's way?

I've heard that apple are opening their NFC with the release of iOS 11 so that the phone can read data from NFC tags, does this mean that there will be a LibreLink for iPhones soon?
