I've just moved from the Libre to the Libre 2 and was shocked to discover that there are no functions to help calculate insulin doses. If I'm in range then its easy to calculate the dose based on the three ratios that I have for different times of the day. Where I struggle is when I'm out of...

With the help of the diabetes support team at the Royal Surrey I've managed good control and had acceptable Hba1c levels for many years. That is until the last couple of months. On average my Novorapid doses were 8 units for breakfast, 2 units at lunchtime and 10 units for dinner. Levemir was...

Can anybody recomend a low carb diet suitable for someone with a heart condition? I note that the low carb info page says "People with a history of heart trouble may need to be careful about which fats they consume and may be advised to speak with a dietitian.". I've just seen my GP today and...

Hi, I've been lurking on here for a while looking for an answer to my problem, without success, so I thought it was time to ask. I'm on a basal/bolus regime using Levemir and NovoRapid. Based on a misunderstanding with a diabetes nurse I've been taking enough insulin to ensure that my blood...
