Hi I am getting a pump at the end of August and wonder how critical it is that your Insulin to Carb ratios are accurate. I have a rough idea but get varying results depending on how active I am etc (like everyone) and tend to keep an eye with libre and just correct if necessary. Should I...

Hi wonder if I could pick your brains on a couple of issues I have. I’m relatively new to insulin and am currently on Levemir and Novarapid. Firstly my bolus ratios in the morning are about 1:8 but for dinner about 1:15. Is this ‘normal’ to have such a variance. Secondly even with 1:15 in...

Hi I understand that there is a general rule that your basal and bolus should be roughly split equally (that you should take the same number of units of each). My split is roughly 35:65 and if I up my basal end up low overnight. I’m on the libre so can see what is happening. Should I be...

Hi I have a question about my basal insulin. I adjusted it up last night to 12 units and it brought me down to a high of 12+ to 5 during the night and 7 on waking. I have fasted this morning and its sitting in the 6’s. My question is if I happen to go to bed tonight sitting at say 8 will it...

I have recently been diagnosed type 1.5 after a year managing on a low carb diet. My BS started suddenly being very high about a month ago. I am on 2000mg metaformin but it is making no difference with fasting levels of anywhere between 15 and 19. My doctor has referred me to the hospital to...

Hi I am looking for some advice. I was diagnosed March 2019 with type 2 and have had good control with diet and exercise. Over the last couple of weeks I haven’t been able to control my BG and went back to GP who told me I had tested positive for antibodies back in March 2019 (no one told me...

Hi Hope some of you guys can cast some light on what is happening with my BG. I was diagnosed over a year ago, have lost 3 1/2 stone and have been managing very well on a very LCHF diet - under 20g carbs daily - HA1BC of 6% consistently. About 10 days ago my BG started to rise and has been...

Hi Wondered if I could pick your brains? I was diagnosed just under a year ago with Type 2 and had been managing my blood levels very well with a very low carb diet and weight loss of 3 stones. I came off metaformin after 4 weeks. I had however been drinking alcohol quite heavily to cope...

Hi I have just had my HA1BC back today 6 months after diagnosis of Type 2. So grateful that it has gone from 105.5 mmol/mol to 37.5. I have been on a LCHF diet and have lost over 3 stone. I stopped taking Metaformin 3 months ago. I would have had no idea about the diet had it not been this...

Hi wonder if you guys can shed some light. I have been following a very strict LCHF diet for about six weeks and am doing well with it in that weight is coming off and bs seems to be under control. Yesterday however for some reason I had a reading that didn’t seem right and did another on the...

Hi I was newly diagnosed on Tuesday with a BG of 26 although the first test I did at home before starting any treatment was 15.6. I am on 1500mg of Metaformin every day and since diagnosis have been researching as much as I can. The advice given on these websites being the most useful. I...
