Hi all, I take lantus every evening at 10pm and I'm asleep at 10:30pm - I've seen that people take it earlier than that. I was wondering if it's benefit me taking it at 9pm rather than 10pm because DAFNE reckoned my lantus was running out in the evening and making my levels rise?

Hi all, My levels keep being high when I do my evening blood sugar before bed - anything been 10-16. They aren't normally like this. I have low carb dinners (meat and veg) and usually give 6 units for this but despite increasing to 8 I'm still going high. I have come down with a cold/sore...

Hi all, Usually my levels are pretty good before lunchtime after having breakfast and I'm never high in the morning. Over the past few days it's been around 9-10 at lunchtime and I don't really understand why. I tried to have an omelette and tested each hour but my levels raised to 13+ pretty...

Hi everyone, I was diangosed with T1 almost 3 years ago, and my team sort of failed to properly teach me about diabetes etc. I sort of learnt myself in a way. I have always been worried about my appearance and weight - and I worry that eating carbs will lead me to gain weight because of the...
