Why is it not wise to increase insulin? Its what your body produces naturally. If you're injecting 3units you might aswell inject 5 and have something you enjoy. Its something you have to do for the rest of your life so theres little point in been shy about it.

And denying yourself it means you will hate it. Im alot happier since i just ate what i liked and injected then really wishing i could eat something and not inject. Thats where the diabetes gets you down.

My current hobby is racing these with a load of other hobbys coming from it. All helps to control my diabetes It sometimes looks like this though

Ive stopped having sweetner and went back to sugar in my tea, just increased the insulin. If you have to inject for it you might aswell have the real deal.

Lucky for me the the GP sorted it for me not to attend the specialist and to see him insted. He is happy that i can sort myself out and i only have to see him once or twice a year. As someone else mentioned, its the finger wagging/treating you as a child. If your not taking anything positive...

I fall off aloto_O crashed 5 times this year, fortunatly i bounce well. Took me a little while but unless YOU take control of it then it wont take control of you. Its the whole i can't eat that but you can aslong as its covered with insulin. I remember spending a couple of hours in asda...

I joined this site nearly 3 years ago. I was diagnosed on the 10th of december 2014. I remember the crushing feeling of trying to watch what i eat and pretty much starving myself incase it made me 'high'. The specialist was a waste of time and whole thing felt like a box ticking exercise and...

I cycle (about 12miles a night) Boxing once a week 30min high intensity training a night All part of keeping fit for motorcycle racing I come home from work and have my tea, do what i need to do and check my levels after i have finished. Normally i can get away without injecting in the evening.

Hi, ive been taking the background insulin. If i stopped would my blood glucose rocket? I got told i was type 1. I have no symptoms. I eat 500g+ of suger a day (or i did) Ive cut it all out now. My bloods gone down from high 20s to 5.5. The readings are dropping everyday. As i understand...

I'm on 10 units of the background insulin and that alone keeps me at 16mmol. I had to speak to a different diabetes nurse who told me to start injecting 4 units of the quick acting stuff at meals. I had the first quick acting just before lunch. Tuna sandwich and at 14:50 I felt different no...
