My mistake I missed the bit about being type 2 sorry

@Luf I am newly diagnosed type 1 myself and I'm testing as and when I feel I need to so my advice is if you feel like you have dropped or spiked then test and keep doing the before and after meal tests to try and gauge what foods raise your levels. I also tend to disagree with @catherinecherub...

I have recently been diagnosed as type 1 and would like to know if anyone on here who is into weight training etc has used or knows about steroid use while being diabetic, I have used before but not since being diagnosed.

Hope someone can help, recently diagnosed type 1 and was given a novorapid flexpen and refills, my question is do the refills go in the flexpen I was given or should I have a different one?

I tried working last night for the first time since being diagnosed, night shift so to speak, my bloods dropped and started feeling hypo so had a some jelly beans(all I had to hand) but for some reason towards the end of the shift I shifted in the other direction and went hyper so for me it's a...

The more information the better, I'm trying to soak up as much as possible as quickly as possible, I do have another question that someone maybe able to help with, I have my lantus about 9pm but I'm going to be working tonight till about 4am which means I'll wake later which will knock my day...

Yeah the doctors made it clear to me how lucky I was. I felt worse than a bag of boiled sh*te lol it is the lowest I've ever felt in my life, well until I had my first hypo today and thought I was going to fall apart I was shaking that much.

My blood sugars were 33 when diagnosed and I had large amounts of ketones in my urine but didn't pass over into DKA fortunately, I'm hoping to get back in the gym asap once I can get a balance on my bloods though weekly check ups could hinder that and the fact every little thing I eat seems to...

@Mrs Vimes doms?

Does anyone know of any sites that have nutrition plans that are relatively high in calorie low in carbs I know you mentioned one @TorqPenderloin do you know of any more

Sorry yeah it should have said 78kg lol

I only started using the weight gainer as I'm naturally pretty slim, about 70-78lbs which is what I am now so I turned to weight gainer, at one point I weighed about 210lbs, I'd like to get back upto about 198lbs. I guess it's just going to be trial and error for the next few weeks.

Thanks for the help guys. @azure the weight gainer contains 91g of carbs and 19g of sugar per serving which I've since found is pretty high since my BS went from 12 to 21 after having a shake, my problem is my nurse is giving me zero help and very vague information, I asked her what to do if I'm...

@azure I have no idea about how much carbs etc I should be having yet, I also use weight gainer (or did) before I was diagnosed and would like to find out if it would still be safe to use.

@azure I've been told how to inject and tests bloods that's it, I'm eager to find out about carb counting and adjusting my insulin asap, my nurse told mento just eat if I'm feeling hungry and we will adjust the insulin next she sees me if we need to.

I have a notification saying unread but I don't know where or what it is? Someone help [emoji52]

Hopefully someone on here can help, newly diagnosed type 1 (3days ago) I've lost 18lb in 4 weeks due to the diabetes and not knowing I had it, my question is what can I eat to help gain weight again that won't send my blood sugars sky high. At the moment my morning readings are about 11 and my...

I'm from Gateshead and very new to this myself, diagnosed type 1 three days ago and still struggling to get my head round everything.

12.9 this morning but only just started insulin 3 days ago.

I have very recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and was wondering if any of you guys are bodybuilders/gym goers and can give me a little info on when it would be safe to start training again, thanks in advance
