    Type 1 Bedtime Blood Sugar Levels

    Hi all, I just wanted to see what blood sugar reading you feel comfortable going to bed with? I was recently told by a nurse at my doctors surgery to aim between 10 and 11 as I usually go to bed between 6.5 and 8.5 and consistently wake up at 18. The nurse suggested I was having hypos in my...

    When Should You Feel a Hypo?

    Hi guys, quick question for you on a Saturday arvo! Just wondering when you should start to feel hypo symptoms? It's quite rare I feel anything above 3.5 (sometimes false hypos at around 4.5 if I've been quite high that day). Today was 2.9 which is closer to when I usually realise and I've...

    Adjusting Basal Doses?

    Hi everyone, I have been having pretty consistent spikes while I'm sleeping and was if this could be to do with my Basal dose. I currently take 11 units at 10pm and was diagnosed T1 in Feb. I also need to work on Carb counting and do recognise that this could be contributing to the issue. I'm...

    What is going on with my blood sugar??

    So last night, about two hours after dinner I was higher than I would have liked at 11.3.(9pm) Decided to see what happened over the next couple of hours and sure enough vision went blurry, was thirsty, etc. Checked again 14.1 (11pm) Took a correction dose and two hours after that was 8.2 (1am)...

    Ketones with normalish blood sugar

    Hi everyone! Hope the long weekend has treated you well. Just wanted to check something with you all. Since Friday I've had high blood sugars (always in double digits... highest 18.9) until today where I'm back to single figures. I put it down to the Honeymoon Period tapering off and have...

    This is probably a silly question...

    Morning all, just a quick question about levels after eating... If I eat dinner and two hours later I'm at 11.9 but three hours later (after the Novorapid has worn off) I'm 7.9, is that ok? Or is the aim to not get to 11.9 so therefore I should have bolused more? I'm sorry if it's a silly...

    Type 1 UTI

    Hi everyone. I posted on the weekend about high BS levels and it turns out I do have a UTI which seems to be the reason everything has been pushed up. I've had UTI's before but have never been so ill in all my life. Tomorrow will be the 6th day of feeling ill. I've had everything from vomiting...

    Type 1: High Blood Sugar... What to Do?

    Hi everyone! Just a quick question. If my BS has raised from 16.3 to 17.3 in 15 minutes what's the best course of action? I've had no advice from doctors on what to do if my blood sugar is high and as this is the highest I've been since diagnosis 6 weeks ago I'm a bit worried. Any advice would...

    New Type 1

    Hi guys! Happy Friday! I was diagnosed with Type 1 last Tuesday after a few weeks of waiting for test results to come back. I'm 23 and have never had any major health issues my whole life so the whole thing has come as a bit of a shock! I've been told that I'm still in the Honeymoon Period and...
