Me too. I skip on cereal. Omelette is good almost no insulin required.

If you eat the eggs in the morning you may also need more insulin. You can have a situation where your body prepares for the day by making more sugar to give you a boost.

There is a Calibration setting on the software but I have not tried this yet.

I have had my miao miao 2 on for 5 days. I charged mine out of the box and set it up pretty quickly. In addition to the software suggested I have set up night scout which involved a bit of programming. This means I have access to the data in a range of apps. My garmin watch now gets the sugar...

Hi it was great for me. If I fast I flat line at 5. My issues are always around carb counting and getting that right. It takes a couple of days to settle.

I agree I have the Libre meter and I use that to help me normalise my sugars if I start to rise once my long term dose fails I take a corrrection to keep it down. I take my Lantus at 6am if I fast by 3pm it rises. I don't fast so take the corrections to keep it in check. It was suggested I don't...

If you contracted it due to an autoamune response then it was your strong immune system that killed off the beta cells. I too seem not to get ill like my friends.

I asked my diabetic specialist about a cure. He laughed and suggested the funds are being used to identify why we get type 1 and not the cure. They are looking at siblings without diabetes and why Their children statistically have more chance of getting type 1 than the child of the diabetic. I...

I attended a course and never felt patronised. I wished I had gone a course in 1998, when I was diagnosed. Some of the people knew nothing and I was shocked. With regards to mashing I agree with the nurse it is hard to guess how many potatoes went into the cream of vegetable soup if any. I now...

Yep, low carb high protein with fats (but the right ones). Cut bread, rice and pasta and then no guessing how much insulin I need. For breakfast I have scrambled eggs, mushrooms and sausage (sometimes) and almost no insulin. Lunch 1/2 chicken and salad almost no insulin. My muscle was has...

Maggie I'm lucky I have never got depressed. I lost my job in the fleet air arm when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1998. I retrained and have not looked back. I have a stressful job and under pressure to deliver 24/7. I work as hard as I can but never take things too personally. I also...

6.5% although I'm now told that too low. The doctor may ask me to go to 9 to 16 for 6 weeks to reset my hypo awareness. I have the libre free style type 1 for 18 years. Not sure how much damage 6 weeks at that level will do.

After the ruling in parliament it looks like we will carry paying out for a good time yet

I'm trying to keep my control tight but it's hard. I have my long acting insulin balanced now and know what will happen in the morning. As I get up at 6am it would appear my body is now used to it. So at the weekend I need to get up to take my fast acting (Humalog) and my Lantus or I am at 15+...

Agreed, I am Type 1 and I have cut my carbs in the day. I split my Lantus and take the morning shot at 6am. I can keep an almost level line between 9am and 3pm after this my so called 24 hour Lantus runs out and I use humalog every couple of hours to keep any sugar down. I also have lost weight...

I have an omelettes at lunch with cheese and mushrooms. I am type 1 with Humalog for meals. I take no insulin and my sugar does not change. I can also eat 1/2 a chicken with a similar rise.

I am type 1 and my basal seems to change. I go 3 nights perfect and then a night with a 3am hypo. No changes to routine or sugar level before I sleep.

There is an acupuncture point called LI -14 that runs close to where we put the sensor. It just so happens that this is used to treat Dizziness caused by hypertension. I have wondered in the past what injections do to these points. I Googled this I am not authoritative on this.

My brother was like this, we went to a funeral and his shoes did not fit. He got a swelling under his foot that got infected and it burst. They cut 3 toes off and 25% of his tissue. He now has issues with the other foot. Try getting a job in that state when your flat is on the second floor and...

Wow there is a question first thing in the morning. I would get that checked out. Buy a Freestylelibre starter pack. You can monitor her levels without a finger prick. She just needs to touch the meter to it once every 8 hours. It will relax you and lower the stress. My sugars are not stable...
