It sounds great. It is low carb so should raise your sugar levels. What proportions of celery/spinach do you use?

I think as type1 we need to put some more effort into loosing weight than we used to before diagnosis (at least I do). Count calories, reduce carbs and exercise and hopefully the weight will start to shift. During 2 miles run you burn about 200kcal and its not difficult to compensate that in a...

Anyone else fancy joining us?:)

You can make your own easily. Milk (or milk mixed with cream), unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener. My mum used to make it when I was little (in 80s in Poland we didn't have any fancy chocolate powders like nesquick) Warm up the milk a bit, pour 1/3 of warm milk in a cup, add about 1 tablespoon...

I don't know what we would do without this forum. Its rather sad we cant rely on nhs advice :(

It depends on what I eat and what my levels are. Libre shows you can safely push it to 30 -40 min (not for low carb though). Dafne says just before eating ( or even after) which is a nonsense I think.

Thanks :) there is another recipe that uses only coconut milk without cocoa powder. I havent tried it but must be nice too

Ive pisted this recipe on my blog. I do like it quite a lot http://www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/2015/11/chia-seed-chocolate-pudding.html?m=1

I was just about to reach for a biscuit when I was reading your post. I stopped halfway :) No wonder I cant loose any weight. Comparing to your diet I eat like a pig!

It could have been a rapid drop as it was during my morning walk to work. I noticed that libre has a bit of a time lag but it was a bit funny for whole morning. I started a walk with levels of 12 rising to 13.8. Then dropping slowly to around 8. I tested only beacause suddenly I started to feel...

I absolutely loved steel cannulas. Ive never had any problems with them and I hope they will be back in use soon. I will give flex a go though, maybe I do need some more practice.

Ive just applied the first one. It wasn't that bad actually :)

Thank you. I will give them a call. I don't feel confident with this sensor at all now!

This sensor has been okish, but it hit me quite badly this morning as I was having a hypo. I will see how it goes in the next few days

I don't think its zero running costs and definitely you cant have it up and running in an hour:)

Ive just collected them. The needle is VERY impressive:eek::eek::eek: I'm not scared of needles but this one makes me sweat

I was wondering when can you request sensor replacement from Abbott. Mine current sensor is not great, and this morning was really playing up. The difference was about 2.8 mmol. Is it enough to request sensor replacement?

If your lantus is right you will not go low. You take quick acting for food. If you dont fancy eating you just skip injection. The whole idea of having quick acting insulin is to get somd freedom and flexibility. Its not 4 injections regime. If you fancy eating one meal a day or none its still...

Unfortunately I'm not very thin (not even just thin haha) so maybe that's a problem. No idea why my nurse gave me 6mm

Ive tried both, with inserter and manually. I use 6 mm. I don't know, maybe I do something wrong. I'm seeing my consultant on Wednesday so will talk about it. Thanks for your replies :)
