Hi Jessie I am in exactly the same position as you ( I think I have replied to your posts before), I only have 2 novorapid injections a day 3 units with lunch and 5 with tea. I can't carb count either because one day I am fine and next day High/low depending on nothing? I have been like this...

Always go to my DSN who is fantastic as is my consultant. My doc does not have the knowledge of type 1 to help me.

I also get 400 strips on repeat, they have never queried this and I find it amazing that some docotors will not presribe you something that would help you maintain your own level of health, surely this could save money on treatment in the future for complications caused by high BS. I am sure my...

So it certainly does not look impossible. I don't eat fish so thats another thing thats out. I have been in the dilema of health over morals and was not sure how I could do both. I turned veggie when I was younger for moral reasons but think as I have got older it is more about being veggie...

Thanks for your reply. How many grams of carbs do you eat? Do you find yourself hungry? Do you get bored? Can you give me an example of a typical day menu wise? Sorry so many questions.

Hi, I have been reading all the low carb info with interest. I was diagnosed last year while pregnant with type 1, I had no issues for about 6 months after having my baby and was then diagnosed again in Feb. At both times the dietian has explained the importance of Carb with my meal, after...

I drink decaf tea and much prefer it to normal tea.

Moggie10, I am testing 8 times a day because I am newly diagnosed and I was suffering from headaches between meals. when I did random tests at this time I was having BS of about 19-20 but when I get to my meal I am back to about 4-6. The after meal tests are done about 3-4 hours after a meal to...

Jessie I have replied in your other post about hypo's. I am currently testing 8 times a day so that we can see if there is any pattern to my hypo's while honeymooning and also to ensure that if my BS has gone low I can eat, on the other hand its to make sure that the injections I am having are...

have completed the survey, look forward to the results. Hope you get a good mark

qrp Have you ever not carb counted? with my diabetes being so eratic I am not carb counting even though I am using Novorapid. I was suffering with highs in between meals so I am using the Novorapid to bring my BS down quicker and to ensure I am not still having highs after 4 hours. Did you ever...

Jessie When I asked how long the honeymoon period can last I was told how long is a piece of string. I have been to see my nurse today as I have started having hypos again, and it does not seem to matter how much I eat. She said that I am still in the honeymoon period and do not want to take me...

Hi Jessie, I am currently in the honeymoon period and have been for about 7 months, I was having hypo's at least twice a day. I had my insulin reduced down til they stopped me having it altogether. I was fine for about 4 weeks not having any highs then they started happening again till I was...

I saw my nurse yesterday and I am now to have 2 units at lunch and 4 at tea. Just got to watch the levels now and see what happens.

I could not get hold of my nurse ( we kept missing each other) but I am contemplating giving myself 2 units of novo rapid to reduce down my levels of 15, 3 hours after heating. I was only having 2 units a meal before I was taken off the insulin. What does anyone think?

Thanks, I think I am panicking at the mo as I worry about the sugars, but also worry if I have any insulin again will I start having hypos again. It is very hard when you work full time and worry about having hypos in meetings etc and also when you have a 15 month baby and worry about hypos when...

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes (type 1) while pregnant a year 1/2 ago. After having my baby and whilst breast feeding my sugars seemed to stabilise. Almost the day I stopped breast feeding I started to feel Ill and after doing some home testing with my monitor requested a GT test. My...
