    What happened with my BG levels?

    No, I didn't have Novorapid for breakfast. I use it only for lunch and dinner meals. But I said it's same struggle with Novorapid as well, it looks that is not working anymore. My BGs are still high after lunch and dinner

    What happened with my BG levels?

    Yes.. since I was diagnosed, I always injected Lantus in the morning, before breakfast. This is what my GP told me to do. But the same situation with the fast insulin, Novorapid. It seems that is not working anymore, even if I increased my doses.

    How to gain weight?

    My blood sugar levels are pretty good.. I have moments when my blood sugar goes high, like 170-180 mg/dl but that's probably my fault because I eat sweets. In the last 2 months the highest BG was 220 mg/dl. I am injecting myself 4 units of Lantus in the morning, before breakfast, 8 units of...

    How to gain weight?

    I've always been a skinny person but since I've been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I've lost about 8-10 kilograms. What can I do to gain some weight, I don't like how I look now. I am way too skinny for my age (25) and my height (185).

    Since I've been diagnosed with type 1, I stopped drinking beer and I've started to drink wine, especially white wine. (one glass of fine white wine or red wine each day it's enough for me). Also, I love Aperol Spritz, one of my favourite cocktail.

    Type 1 working on a cruise ship?

    I've just talked with a doctor who told me that I won't have any chances to be accepted when they will find out I am a type 1 diabetic. I didn't find anything related to diabetics in the company policy. What can I do in this case? It is a discrimination case. I just don't want to accept the idea...

    Yes, I have to be cautious because I think I'll have a lot of troubles with hypoglycemia. My doctor has recommended to start with 2-4 units of Lantus.
