Hi I have had T1 for 46 years, I used to be on the mix like your daughter, I went onto Basal Bolus in 2000 and it was much better for me. The reason being I could finally properly experiment (which I believe is key) with my dosage. So when I am high I can give myself more insulin before a meal...

Hi, Have you tried HypoStop? It works Very quickly as it is a Gel - but you have to remember to follow up with a Granola or milk chocolate wafer. My symptoms are :- Sweaty Neck Cramps Woozy head p.s. I had a 2.9 yesterday Very scary, also I carry Jelly Babies (x4) good for treating a hypo.

The solution is to experiment if you understand what you are and when then you will cope. When I am normal 5-8 mmol/li make sure I have some chocolate or other such in my pocket so that should I go low - I just look greedy, also I have noticed that when I am out of my routine I get low or...

Must b annoying I would ask how do you know ? Maybe then it will stop.

Great that u get to serve our lot won't even consider us viable

Must b tough sorry to hear that.

All that after just asking the wife to get me some chocolate LOL

Try to think of youself as an abasidor from the country diabeties

My advice in any situation play your diabetes down if you don't make an issue of and u r the only diabetic someone knows then by default they won't think twice when they meet another. On a number of occasions I've been asked to speak to other diabetics with control issues. Mainly 'cos it's...

Hi there well I might have some hope for u I met my Mrs already having type 1. Still together after 17 yrs. To be honest it was better in a lot of ways we met when I already had it for so long. I would say that it is much easier not her not having known me without it. It puts a lot less pressure...

I meant to mention maybe go inside to do tests as the meters don't work well at -21 degrees.

Fundamentally this comes down to does one want to be treated differently ? Not that many people on this forum would (I believe) want to be for want of a better word 'favoured' because of their condition. If it is about being treated fairly I would say that it is ok to say if I go to an...

Glad to hear that you have it 'under control' - now So the army that's just people in Khaki telling you what to do, instead of people in white coats eh?

I know strange - not sure - I won't listen in case my Body gets to hear about it. While it's working I'm not giving up!

7 have it for 42 years.

Hey I just had a thought - I remember when I first started skiing and it was 8 hours of exercise so 4hours AM lunch then 4 hours PM. I realised that I was going to be low an awful lot unless I changed my insulin. So what I did was half my TDD and work back from there halved the basal and the...

I'm not sure but I'm not supposed to like, but Howrah for the self employed yeah.

I'm self employed don't go in don't get paid :-( Also I only try to be sick at weekends and bank holidays LOL

Interesting I very rarely change my basal nearly always 21 sometimes goes up if I'm ill(+1/2 or +1) The I vary my bolus by -2 to +4 depending on my meals. I thought perhaps wrongly ( I hasten to add) that the two were completely independant as when I'm sick I rarely feel like eating then I can...

I would say an hour so inject just before eating 5 mins or so then after 1 hour again.
