Well, you can always have a homemade sugarfree marmalade. In fact I prepared som a few weeks ago and I put sacarine (liquid) and neutral gelly. It´s nothing to scream about but better than nothing :lol:

Hello blackadder, I was told that lantus should be injected on your bottom :lol: In fact that is where I inject it. Novorapid I inject in different areas, depending on how high my glucose is. If it´s very high, in the abdomen, if it´s okay and I´m going to eat lentils, on my arm. My endocrine...

Hello acron, perhaps caitycakes1 is right, you may need to bring up your basal insulin. Why don´t you try to bring it up one unit? it´s a question of trying. Do you eat quite an amount of carbs at night? I have noticed that on weekends if I´m naughty and eat pizza at night I might be fine 2...

Fergus, you chose the best city to really enjoy Spanish culture. Seville is a wonderful city with very friendly people :wink:

Doczoc, I know exactly what you mean when you talk about looking for the culture and the cuisine of the area you visit, it´s good to be open minded and try different things :wink:

Hello Doczoc, if you ever decide to come (once the crisis turns its back to us) I would recommend Jávea, it´s a small village in the province of Alicante (other nearby villages are Denia, Calpe, Moraira...) Of course, it all depends on what you´re looking for; if you want beach, Jávea is ideal...

Hello Doczoc, don´t worry you can came to Spain and not have to eat any carbs :lol: . I live in the Mediterranean area, in Castellón (North of Valencia) and as you have probably heard, the Mediterranean diet is very healthy, plenty fresh fish and vegetables. Of course, the area of Valencia is...

Lesleyr284, there are always horrible people around who think they know it all. It´s the ignorants who say those stupid things; they should try to keep their mouths shut. I´d like to see what that kid eats at home. In my family there aren´t any diabetics, I´ve always eaten very healthy food and...

:lol: :lol: :lol: I´ve really loved the poem. It has brought my spirits up. Thanks!!!!!

Hello everyone. First of all I´d like to tell you that I´ve been diabetic T1 for six years (I´m 41). I live in Spain and here endocrines can´t conceive a diabetic not having any carbs. After all these years I have learnt that I´m my best doctor. I have been for a very long time on a low carb...

Hello Charlotte, I would advise you to go to the doctor as soon as possible, don´t leave it any longer. I think you should tell your mum about your worries and if she thinks it´s nosense well then move things by yourself. Good luck!!!!!

Hello, I understand the feeling perfectly, in fact I think that most diabetics sometime or another get the same feeling. You feel frustrated, but it´s worth while thinking that this disease can really damage important organs and this you don´t realize until it´s too late. There are diseases...

Hi Dillinger, thanks for the reply. I´m very strict with myself. I stick to my diet (low carb) during the week and I exercise a bit every day (sometimes walking, sometimes swimming). On weekends I go a little bit mad, I have a few beers and on Sundays "paella". I live in Spain and it´s quite...

I¨m type 1 and my last test was 5.3. My husband isn´t diabetic and his last test was also 5.3. I don´t quite understand this :?:

You could try porridge or weetabix. What about a slice of wholemeal bread?

Hello everyone, my lowest level has been 1 and I managed to go to the kitchen and drink a juice. Once I had a very bad hypo and I can´t remember much what happened, I just know that my husband had to inject "glucagon" and when I was myself again and asked him what on earth was he doing with that...

Hello Sketty, I´m also new in this forum, I just joined up yesterday. Everybody has made me feel very comfortable. Welcome!!!!!

Goodmorning everybody. By the way, Vikingepigen, in what part of Spain does your sister live? I live in Benicasim, a small village in the province of Castellón (north of Valencia). Trinkwasser, thanks for the equivalences, you´re right, the trick is to divide between 18.

By the way, I forgot to tell you that I´m type 1. English glycemic readings are completely different from Spanish so I´ll try to obtain the equivalences. In Spain low sugar readings would be 60 and high would be 180-200. I´ll do my homework for tomorrow. Bye for now.

Hello everybody, it´s nice to meet you all. Thanks a lot for your greetings. Regarding the weather it´s quite miserable at the moment, raining and quite gloomy... It also rains here in Spain...!
