Hi! In terms of your injection pain I have a similar experience sometimes. It is mainly with my lantus (which seems to be because of it's makeup, and unfortunately I can't do much about that). But, occasionally it happens with my novarapid. I find it's usually the spot I've chosen and it does...

Thanks tim2000s! Worth a go, I had never thought of that being the culprit and was sure it was the bolus!

When I flew to Japan last year it was a 13 hour flight with an 8 hour time delay. I also take novarapid and lantus, but I take lantus before bed. I just didn't take my lantus at all during the flight, and just had novarapid (mainly because I wasn't sure what else to do!) But it worked for me :-)

So..Sat waiting for the results of the second hypo of the day to wear off and spotted this (excuse any typos/nonsense :-S) So, the usual reaction to any remotely pleasant, warm weather is lower blood sugar and the off hyping as I struggle to keep BG high enough... Well, what's currently...

Hi fumanchu! I am a t1 'low carber' but I think the real LC people out there would be horrified by my diet! This is mainly because I too, struggle with fatty foods. I aim for less than 100g a day. Sometimes it's as low as 60 and sometimes as high as 130 (mainly down to hypo treatments) I...

Got my results yesterday. Down to 7.2 from 11.8. I am aiming to be below 6 but definitely on the right track and feeling like the hardwork is starting to pay off :-)

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! There is a lot of positives and success stories on here, but I knew there must be some initial issues and I just wanted an idea of what these would be before jumping into it :-) In conclusion, I am definitely going to give it a go! You...

Thanks for your reply @azure to be honest, I haven't had my HbA1C done in many years (head in the sand job) but I know the last one was around 9. Since I have been counting, it works out an average of around 300 a day. I don't need to lose weight as I am perfectly healthy weight, just my habits...

Thank you @tim2000s and @dtennant9! Good to know I'm not going mad, and also I'd rather have the pain and have it work :-) :-)

I'll try to keep this short and sweet :-) Been T1 for 18 years, finally got a grip and trying really hard to behave myself. I have recently joined the forum and been pouring over all the useful information for a while now, thank you all! :angelic: Now, down to brass tacks. Should I go LC? I...

2.8 :-o I have just started LC and obviously getting used to the dramatic change!!

I have been T1 for 18 years and wasn't even aware there were courses :-o I have been on this site for a little over a week and have learnt more than the last 18 years from the various care teams I have been under, worrying but true!

Hi! I am on about the same lantus as you at night time, no extra hunger but I have been using it for 7 years or so, could have been different at the start! What I do get is quite severe, burning pain sometimes from it - almost as if my body is allergic once it is injected?! But, as I say not...

Hi Julia I completely understand. I was diagnosed at 11 and didn't cope, I didn't want to be different to my friends, I didn't want to eat differently or to have to be so careful all the time. It has now been 18 years and to tell you the truth, I still feel like that. I am, however, trying...
