I was on it for about 40+ years until December 2017. Personally I'm finding Basal/Bolus a bit of a nightmare as you need a degree in maths to be able to obtain good control, and yes there is certainly 200% more flexibility on what you eat and when etc, but it's a nightmare for high protein...

No defo no noticed that and I've been using the libre for over 2 years now.

I do porridge allot, especially on days when I train in the mornings, the thing I have found with porridge for me is the insulin timing. Jab and wait too long and your gonna crash low, jab and eat too early and I'm spiking. If I am in range I jab 15m before I eat. This is what I usually have...

Happy birthday FGM, hope you have a good one.

Looks like 14 is the magic number here so here goes last night, Pre dinner BGL = 6.3 have usual dinner (Grilled chicken, sweet potato mash and asparagus) and take the normal amount of insulin and wait 15 mins as usual, this meal never spikes more then a 9 for me. Check post 1hr and it's 14.8...

Can you do this??? Example if I check at 11am and it's 10.5 and slowly going up, I take 2u and I know that'll bring in range THEN i decide to check again in say 30 mins 13, at this point can I shoot n extra unit or 2? because technically the 11am does has not fully started working yet?

Was carnage yesterday for me, got home from gym 6.6 and stable so awesome, pre bolused correctly for what I was about to eat and waited the usual 15 mins, then BANG a huge argument with the Mrs, she storms off I scan and its 11.2 and sky rocketing. Had to wait about 1.5 hours after injecting...

Ok guys I’m thinking of splitting my Levimer dose as I think it’s running out around 5pm-ish see this tread: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-is-happening-to-my-bgl-post-4-5pm-plz-help.156379/ Anyway what is the best way to do this as i currently take 17u at night about 8:30pm...

For me I usally do porriage with natural PB and a couple of eggs on the side If you want lower carb then that then i'd go for 1-2 slices of wholemeal bread 3-4 egg whites with 1 whole egg 20g of low fat cheese I had the above earlier and it's awesome

During the day I have breakfast, walk to train station and get to work so not a huge amount of activity Afternoon sitting around at the desk apart from walking out to get lunch Evenings is when I train straight after work so I'll punch a few units in to control that rise and also I need to have...

Ok guys, Can someone please explain what is happening to my BGL post 4-5pm? I seem to get a spike every day at that time since being on MDI (never got it on pre-mixed twice day). Is it? Some kind of aftermath of my 1pm meal usually about 50g carbs 20g fats and around 60g protein? Levimer...

f**kin nightmare last 24hrs All good yesterday till about 4:30pm then it's 7.1 and slowly rising so I take 2u hoping it will balance things out, and I have leaving drinks to go to so don't want to be sky high. So 5pm Jump on tube get to bar for drinks and scan it's 12.1 *** those 2u that...

I've seen that episode, she's kind cute the girl the with pump. Flash, Arrow and Supergirl are big in our house,

Does the PB have sugar on in it? If so your probably not counting it. Is the bread white or brown and how thick is it, for me any kind of white bread and I'm heading high much quicker then brown bread. Have a similar breakfast most mornings 4-5 eggs 2 Brown bread toasts with natural PB...

Brown or white pasta?

It's been a bit mental today highest was about 9.9 when I got up, miscalculated last nights meal. Lowest on the tube to work 2.2 over corrected. Currently sitting at around 4.4 with 0.25 units on board.

I use a Libre and I would defo NOT have injected without using the CGM, also this sensor has been spot on. The issue with the Libre is that some sensors can be off, I usually do random spot checks.

So the other day went out had a few drinks and realised BGL was floating around 13-14 for some complete unknown reason so thought sod it took 50% of the usual correction dose as I was drinking (my drinks are usually a whisky on ice so NO carbs) anyway this and a walk from the bar to the club...

I am using it once a day 17u, I am sure it doesn't quite last 24hrs I am considering splitting it.

12.1 now these are NOT numbers I'm used to. Anyway there's about 2 onboard i think I'll go gym
