Hi - have you looked into gastroparesis as a possible problem? And looked into IBS?

He also does a late-night phone in America radio program

I discovered him over a year ago. I watched his video's until the early hours of the morning and I remember telling my T1 daughter (who is in her 20's and had become very ill through following the NHS diet of eat anything you want and just inject for it) that I felt that we had to try...

My daughter is 24 and T1 and she is unable to work due to having very poor control (not her fault and she sees the clinic regularly ) some days she is fine and other days she is far from well, but found it too hard to maintain her pt job in a cafe. She is also self-employed. Do you know if she...

Thank you for posting this, I will show it to her. she is about to go away on holiday for a week so its all on hold until she gets back and been trying to get her stable so she can go. it looks good though- can you take it off and then stick it back on a few weeks late or when you are curious as...

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this forum. My daughter is starting to feel a bit better. The main thing that has come out of this forum for me is that it has opened up a whole new world where I can talk to others with diabetes and not just to DSNs and doctors to get some realy good...

How much did the libre cost? the clinic didnt recomend them and said they dont give imediate results, ie a few hours old?- so you have to finger prick as well? is that true ? I did look into them but the clinic put me off. How has it helped you? I didnt realsie you could odo it for just two weeks?

thank you and I have that book too and its good

its Lantus not Levimere- got that wrong.

will look into Apridra will also enquire what a basal test is, thanks

thanks she is on levimere and novorapid and she carb counts using DAFNE and the Carb Cal book. We do all the things you have suggested but thank you for your reply anyway.

what is a basal test? I can ask at the clinic about different types of insulin thanks

Thanks I will look into this - is this the one- ? https://youcandoit.freestylediabetes.co.uk its £159 to buy and then £50 every two weeks? NHS didnt recomned it - but it is expensive to run - do you use it all the time? She has an iphone

they said she is all clear regarding blood tests for the above, which is good, but stll doesnt explain constant highs. she is 18 now and not well again :( we have been on the phone to the specialists all day and they know about her but apart from the ususal advice regarding counting carbs and...

She is on Levimere and Nova rapid

no she hasnt been tested for this- I will ring them and check thank you

thank you, yes she uses carbs and cals on her phone, it does help, but still gets it wrong, we have now decided to create her own meal plan and strict diet and calculate every meal in advance. She went on the pill to make her hormones more balanced and I think that helps, but will look into it...

yes she counts carbs, does DAFNE and adjusts meals. I wondered about a digestive issue, she does seem to feel that wheat is a problem? Is there different insulin types that you can suggest ?
