Hi everyone, I am trialling a Miao Miao which is great but kind of annoying as I’m an Apple user and can’t seem to access Spike. So I’ve been down an app rabbit hole these last 2 days and Diabits answered a question I had with the info below. Maybe it’s not new news but as I’m just about to...

According to Wikipedia Dr Adam Heller will turn 87 on 25th June. I feel we should do something to celebrate! Any ideas?

Hi everyone, I got prescribed Libre in Italy and then we moved to Singapore. My Italian libreS finished today, so I started using my bought () Singaporen libre. I had to get the Singaporen LibreLink app and have just logged onto libreview to check its ok. It’s not! Do I need to start a...

Hi all, I’m fairly confident my morning rise is due to dawn phenomenon. Would taking my Tresiba at bed, rather than morning, be helpful? I think Tresiba has a fairly flat profile but I don’t know what else to do, since I hypo if I give myself 0.5 of a unit of humalog before bed. Any thoughts?

Hi again knowledgeable people, We've just relocated to Asia and I'm job hunting so I've a lot of time to play with my Diabetes. I've been taking a break from the Libre due to sweating it off so today I've used my morning to input my BGs into the One Drop/ Apple Health app. I sort of did it...

Weird [unnecessary] things you see that advertisers have stuck the word “diabetes” on.

Hello all, I had a slight anti- eureka moment and wondered your thoughts on it. So I was on Novoraoid for years, since 2006 or something, and I SWEAR they told me that I could inject once my plate was in front of me. So that’s what I did. Then this year my new diabetiologist said I...

My new doctor has put me on Humalog. When I asked how it was different to Novoraoid she said it was “exactly the same” so I didn’t think to ask anything else. However! Now I’ve googled it I fear I’ve been taking Novoraoid incorrectly for 15 years!! It was a big deal when I went on it because...

I’ve been put on 4mm needles and have been using them for 3 days. Since then my blood sugars have been higher - 8 rather than 5 averages. Last night I was 14 before dinner. I ate an apple for it and injected 4.5 units. (1.5 for apple, 3 for correction). 1.5 hours later my BG was 17.5. I...

I had my first appointment with an Italian consultant today! I feel very proud because I spoke Italian with some staff and did it all on my own ☺️ ANYWAY. She was great and spoke good English but now I’ve had time to reflect (after the “I’m really doing it!” high), I’m slightly peeved/ have...

Hi, hopefully easy to answer (although google is failing me). Does anyone know if the One Drop estimated A1c is % or mmol? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve been T1 for 28 years so should have this down but! In the last 2 weeks I’ve eaten pasta twice and based my novorapid on the carbs on the pack. Both times I’ve had hypos! I live in Italy and normally guesstimate my pasta, with higher BG after, so thought I’d take advantage...

Hello all, I've been prescribed new pen needles that are 0.23 thick. My old ones were 0.3 thick. I was excited, thinking thinner needles would be slightly more comfortable (every little helps), but I THINK they are leaking when I inject! I usually do experience a little leakage but this...
