Jopar If you read my post you will see quite clearly that I am not recommending non treatment of a bg at 3.2. I was simply pointing out that for me 3.2 is not a panick situation as it was in the earlier days. As for protein allowing you to continue to drop, I'm afraid that's not the case for...

I too remember the panicked feeling of a hypo not long after diagnosis. I wakened in the night at 3.2 two weeks after a diagnosis level of 23.0! Thought I was dying. Wobbled downstairs, opened the fridge door and just went for it :lol: Now when I discover a 3.2 it's no big deal. I usually...

Hi Lilibet, Yep, I am in no hurry to come off pre-mix!!!! I use Humalog as a fast acting to correct any highs (always caused by overindulgence of forbidden foods :roll: ) It takes ages to kick in and drops me on my ass by hour 3. Strange stuff. It will also bring me down by anything up to...

Hi Lillibet, You say you notice a pattern of rising if you don't eat lunch. Could it be that your body being used to pre-mix which automatically means regular eating is giving you a liver dump when you miss a meal? Your basal wouldn't help you in this situation (unlike the pre-mix)...

My weekend sin was about a dozen chips. Spent the rest of the day on Saturday testing (fingers now like tea bags) and trying to "sort" with Humalog. I now remember why I don't give in to temptation. It's just not worth it. When I behave I am so controlled I don't have to think very much...

I know what you mean. I get the "DOUBLE CREAM !!!!!!!, are you allowed to eat that?". Or "MAYONSAISE, should you be eating that?" Or "Why can't you eat bananas or apples?. I thought they were good for you when you are diabetic." I honestly think that some people believe diabetes is a mental...

What I'm saying is If there's not enough spoons, get more from the cutlery drawer. :lol: :lol: :lol: caitycakesx

My daughter was working last week with a first year nurse who had had a placement in the diabetic clinic at our local hospital. They got chatting and daughter mentioned that I ws type 1. The trainee nurse then commented "is she a non compliant patient" with a wry smile on her face. Daughter...

Aw, don't you just love the humour on here. It's better than the telly any day. Haven't laughed so much in ages Stewcose. :lol: Caitycakes x

Have to agree with Hanna. I treat my Type 1 as a bloody nuisance. A beast that has been taught it's place. I am never ill and I refuse to let it take over my life. I will also NEVER accept it!!!!!! Caitycakes x

Supposing they find a cure for type1, I still would stay low carb. Great trigs, chol and energy, not to mention weight! No way would I go back to the carb banquet I used to live on. Caitycakes x

Had my check-up at hospital yesterday. HBA1C was 5.4. Can't believe the difference between consultants. This one was absolutely delighted at my control and told me I should be very proud of myself. Chol was 5.4 HDL 2.11 and trigs 0.76. She kept looking at the results and shaking her head...

Had about 6 chips sandwiched between two slices of Fergus's bread the other night. Absolute heaven. First time in a year and bs levels were ok. YIPEEEEEEEE! caitycakes x

Hi worriedmummy. I am by no means an expert, and def not on childrens bs levels but I once tested my 24 yr old daughter after she ate a HUGE bar of chocolate and her bs levels never went above 5.0. Two hours later she was back down to 4.2. I cannot imagine why a doctor wouldn't bat an eyelid...

Hi worriedmum, Just a thought, but if you haven't had another high reading from your son after the 12.9, is it possible the test was contaminted by something on his finger when you tested? I remember nearly passing out with shock at a high reading once, until I remembered I had made my...

Well done claridge, It's a great feeling when all the hard work gets the results you want. Caitycakes x

Hi Acron, sorry to hear your DP has come back but I still think maybe you need to reduce your night-time insulin a bit as I think you are maybe going hypo in the night. The cheese only helps prevent the am liver dump. It won't help if you are going too low because you have to much insulin on...
