    Basal Insulin Doses

    Thank you Ellie for your response, it wasn't so much that I was comparing, it was just more that I have not come across that before, and I didn't realise people's basal doses could vary so much person to person that's all. I was just interested to find out if there was a reason for the wide...

    Basal Insulin Doses

    Hello, It has been a while since I posted on here! I was diagnosed Type 1 coming up to 4 years ago.

    Stuck in a bad web

    We all have bad days, but 5 litres of coke per day is scary! (i'm not judging you here at all by the way if anything i feel sad you are stuck in this rut.) I would be too scared to be drinking 5 litres of sugar a day without injecting for 3 weeks! It's probably hard to see this & understand...

    Expired Test Strips

I...
