    What do I do???

    Thanks x once I’d sorted myself out I realised exactly that. I’ve reduced my glargine dose tonight, so I’ll monitor very closely for a few days. I really appreciate your reply, thank you. I was definitely having a moment of brain fog with my hypo so a sensible onlooker was/ is most welcome!

    What do I do???

    Bm 2.9 at this moment - trying to lose weight with Keto/ low carb. Ate tea about 1.5 hrs ago but didn’t take any insulin as was 4.0 before eating & ate carb free dinner.

    Type 1 Help with old habits

    Why is it that someone else telling you something helps so much!? It makes absolute sense, I will do that - little bits of exercise will work far better for me, especially as I’m working from home. Thanks for your support KK123

    Thanks for your reply. You sound like you’re managing things well now. I’ve managed to buy myself a bit of time tomorrow morning so I’m gonna get up early & walk.

    CGM is the most effective method for monitoring and treating diabetes

    Thanks Ali. I am a bit ditsy but that isn't really the issue. I manage to organise my 3 children, work (teacher), run my home with other half working away but I seem to subconsciously choose not to prioritise my injections & monitoring. I'm not daft but need to get a grip!
