Hi. Just wondered how you were getting on? I am in the same situation now

Hi. I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm struggling to keep my BG to the recommended levels - 7.8mmols 1 hour after eating. If I do manage it, I usually hypo shortly after. My hba1c was 55 and I'm worried as it wasn't under 48. Also I'm on antidepressants (which I really need) and am worried about...

You're an amazing mummy and you're doing a wonderful job. Well done!

Hi. I've been T1 for 5 months. Im on levermir and novorapid 1:10. When are you testing post meals? Because I was told you should be below 9 two hours post meals, which I am but if I were to test sooner than two hours I would be in the teens. Also I found that I needed less novorapid if I ate...

Well I saw my GP and explained that I didn't want to change and gave my reasons, and he was fine with it. Relieved! I appreciate that the strips cost the nhs money, however I work and pay taxes and its not my fault that i've got diabetes. I've only had it for a few months so still testing a fair...

Hi im t1 diagnosed 5 months ago. Have been doing well hba1c is 49. Im using an aviva meter which i had to buy myself as the hospital did not have one when i was discharged. I am annoyed and concerned as I has a letter from my surgery saying they were changing my glucose meter to a wavesense jazz...

I have got a half unit pen but haven't started using it yet as I wanted to use all of my flexpens up first. My meter is a accucheck aviva. I have gone to 4u levemir now and have had good levels today. Thanks for all the helpfull comments everyone.

Thank you for your reply. It is happening 2-3 hours after food usually so I guess I should maybe try 1:15. I have cut back to 4u levemir tonight. I'm guessing this is the 'honeymoon period' kicking in.

Hi I have type 1. Diagnosed 2 and a half months ago. Have been doing really well on levemir and novorapid, counting carbs etc although haven't been on the dafne course yet. I have been very well controlled on 8u levemir at night then a ratio of 1.5:10 for breakfast then 1:10 for the rest of the...

="becky.ford93, post: 873229, member: 188162"]When I first went into hospital the night of my type 1 diagnosis (three months ago) a nurse asked me if I'd always just eaten a lot of sweet things. A NURSE!! Its frustrating, but you get used to it. I also find it frustrating when people try and...

Thanks for your replies. Guess i'll just have to get used to it. She definately wasn't being nice though :-( Told my practice nurse today, she was appauled. I would expect this kind of ignorance if I worked in an office or supermarket etc, NOT from other nurses! Moan over! ;-) xx
