Hello lovely people! I am writing because I am currently going down the spiral of absolute fear.. Obviously too much Google and 'what if' long story short I am a very anxious person and usually super scared of various health things - Im one of those people who constantly fears something is...

Hey guys. Has anyone else been through something like this? I currently use 14 units of glargine basal insulin at night. My sugar is almost always towards the high side, hanging out at around 10 mmol and always raises during the night. I mean its kind of obvious that I need to increase my...

Hey everyone. Sorry if this was posted before. I was wondering what your bedtime / wake up time is like. Do you find that having a worse sleeping schedule negatively impacts your diabetes control? The reason why I'm wondering about this is because I work late evening shifts (till 1am) and I...

Hello, I am a T1D of a few years now. Lately it seems like my insulin is doing absolutely nothing unless I combine it with physical activity. I had some issues with alcohol abuse in the past and I am currently fighting with that and I sometimes relapse and start drinking for a few days until...

Hello people. I have no idea what is going on but I feel so hopeless at this point. For the past few days I wake up with bg of 14 - 15 mmol and I have no idea why. I have not really changed anything.. What could be causing something like this?

I guess you guys have been in this situation. You are at a restaurant and you order a diet soda with your food. However, you are not sure whether the soda you got is actually diet or just regular. I personally can hardly taste the difference. Is there any way to make sure its sugar free?

Hello everyone. I am planning on consuming 2 beers this evening and I was wondering whether I should lower my basal rate for that because I am scared of going low while I sleep. Now I have done a bit of research and it seems that 2 beers will only stay in the system for up to 5 hours based on...

Hello everyone. I am still quite new to the diabetes world and recently got back on insulin after my honeymoon period. Still getting my basal insulin in order and working everything out. Currently on low carb, taking 6 units basal Abasaglar (which I probably still need to increase) and I take...

Hello everyone. Here is my situation. I was diagnosed with type 1 about 2 years ago and after using insulin for a while I went into the honeymoon period and stopped using insulin altogether. My bg was pretty good but now a few years later my sugar began to be sort of out of control and because...
