I had problems with the quicksets that go in at 90 degrees. I was using an inserter (i.e. an automated device thing that looks like an egg cup) They look like this: They would come out like this once I'd realised my sugar was shooting up: I then moved onto the ones that go in at about 35...

Ally5555, Can you provide some example amount to put together for a range of people. I personally am a 22 year old male looking to build up from 10.5 stone. I have seen soya protein in some health shops e.g. http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-loc ... _750g.html Is this what you are meaning...

I'm afraid they're now in me so it'll be a little difficult to weight :roll: I took 11.0 Units based on the calculation of 40G + 40G + 30G (s.roll). Turns out this was a little too much. With a starting BM of 8.0 I should've done 10.0 :idea:

Hi All, Can anyone tell me the (approx) number of carbs in a Greggs Pasty and/or Sausage Roll. They don't quote it in any of the carb books/sheets that I have or on their website but I wonder if anyone has kind of worked it out? I have just had 3 so would like to know :lol: Cheers Dave

Whats scottish tablet?

This sounds like great advice to me. I will try this next time I'm lucky enough to have a hypo that we all love :D Just tucking into some hobnobs now - the joy of having a pump! Thanks all for your input Dave

Hi All, Does anyone share my annoyance that when they have a hypo they sort of overdo the amount of sugar/carbs that they cram in to raise their blood sugar. Earlier my blood sugar was 3.1 and I felt bad - shaky, heart beating hard, pins and needles etc. so I had half a bottle of lucozade and 5...

Hi All, I have changed to the Paradigm Silhouette (MMT-381) sets that seem to be working alot better. These ones are slightly longer (13mm) but go in at a 45 degrees angle so are good for not-so-fattys like me. Dave

don't even worry about telling anyone you have diabetes. i find that people are often interested and never afraid/rude etc. everyone normally knows a few people with diabetes nowadays (dad, sister, mate etc.) so should should see telling someone about it the same as if you were telling them you...

Haha classic! Can anyone spot the mistake?!...... My question is where can the flu jab be given. I've had it once before in my arm but ended up with a dead arm for about a week. I've heard conflicting information about where it can and can't be given? Cheers Dave

Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has problems with paradigm quicksets. I use the 6mm ones with the 'inserter' (can't remember what they call it - blue egg cup thing) and often have to do another (or even a third) as they don't seem to be working. I do them in the sides of my thighs...

Hi Guys, I have recently joined the gym and am looking for advise regarding my insulin pre/post workout. I am Type I and control my diabetes using an insulin pump. My blood sugar is generally good and my recent HbA1c was 6.4. But I don't want to kill myself with the gym. What I would like...
