Omg, I was changed to Tresiba from Lantus and never made the connection, as I’m feeling so much better with no muscle cramps.

I checked my local area and testimonials

I have similar issues, not always related to BS but other complications caused from Diabetes, but I see a hypnotherapist regularly and it has had a positive impact.

I don’t think I’m going to order any again, I had one on order And I will ring for a replacement but I seem to be constantly ringing up and then waiting for delivery and £50 is too much to pay out for something so unreliable.

Thanks, it is a shambles, I’ll try chemist, but so disappointed at the amount of failing sensors, where it says it’s finished before the 14 days!

I know they replace them, but it’s such a pain and now once again I’m without.

Hi All, Just wondering how many of you have had issues with the Freestyle Sensors? I am not overly vigorous or active, yet a sensor came off whilst swimming, then I have had a further 3 just fail mid use. I’ve only had it since early Dec. Seriously considering going back to lancets as I...

Had T1 for 19 years and the Autonomic Neuropathy for 5 years, it showed itself after major abdominal surgery, I don’t think it is Diabetic related as I have no peripheral neuropathy, but the consultant tells me I’m wrong!

I have postoral hypotension and gastroparesis as my main symptoms of it!

Yes I’m on midrodine and fludrocortisone for it.

To get involved with Diabetes UK, to speak to groups etc.

Does anyone have Autonomic Neuropathy? If so what symptoms do you have and how severe? What do you do to make life more bearable?

Kristin251, I am on a basal/bolus regime, I carb count and am on a ratio of 1.5 units of Humalog to 10g of carbs, at the moment I usually eat no more than 30-40g Per meal, so take usually between 5-7 units, if I have carbs with a meal. I take 18 units of basal. Fast acting Humalog is taken...

So if I only eat approximately 20gs of carbs a day, then I no longer need insulin?

That seems to low! You still need carbs.

Hi, I take my insulin after I've eaten and I have 1.5 units for each 10g of carbs.

That sounds like good advice, I have been trying to keep at around the 130/150g but wasn't sure if that classed as low.

I don't believe it's healthy to stop all carbs, I take insulin 4 times a day and carb count. I don't want to abolish carbs just an idea of the minimum I can get away with . I don't necessarily have carbs at every meal and adjust my insulin accordingly.

Trying to follow a low carb diet, but I don't know what is the lowest amount of carbs to eat per day. Can anyone help? I'm T1.
