Just yday morning I was 9.9mmol/m in morn then by lunch I shot up to 24.6mmol/l (after exercise) but wasn't expecting that huge jump!! That's why I ask whether it would work to basal a little even when not having bfast. Having recently lost 20kg (3st) in weight I've had to reduce TJ from 18 to...

For a while now I've noticed my BGs go up, even when fasting (skipping bfast), though by increasing my dosage of Toujeo (TJ) at night, I go hypo. I used to increase dosage this way before, as it lasts for more than 24hrs & injecting at 2200hrs, shouldn't it go through til the following evening &...

Ah yeah, missed that thanks!! Helps enormously!! @bulkbiker :banghead::D

I've not long begun doing the low carb diet, I'm finding it interesting for the combination of foods put together for meals & for the reaction of insulin requirements (both basal & bolus, which is great!!) however the recipes I find online are American & using imperial measurements!! Is there a...

Having had T1 for over 20yrs, I've struggled too with controlling my BGs, however I don;t let it take over my life. Having achieved a lot in the time I've had, I get over the high's & lows of my BGs & life events no matter what I'm like :). I've found the foods I consume play a lot on what my...

Hey @KitsuneRin Having been diabetic Type 1 for over 20 years, I've lost & gained weight over the last 6 at least. Though being more mobile & active than what you have stated. I'm currently on the Weight Watcher's program (having done it previously just on the no Count foods & reducing carbs...

Feeling Humiliated from my own disbelief in myself, for the last 3 days I have logged carbs, insulin & points separately & not make mistakes with it yet. Also keeping diary of what I've eaten for each meal to give the insulin required. Thanks @DaftThoughts for the suggestion!! I'll keep with it...

I am having to make a few changes for this to work, as making a diary of foods, drinks, exercise, moods etc seems a lot to do around a busy day, especially as work is picking up now. I'll do my best to be persistent with it until I get used to the foods I can have & those that are "No Count"...

@DaftThoughts That's what I meant by becoming confused with calculating the two together. At the moment I give the quantity of insulin required for the amount of carbs consumed, whereas calculating PP's too I'll get confused what i've eaten, quantities & how much insulin to give, when!! Also...

@AndBreathe These are just some of the items I've managed to get hold of with info for both points & carbohydrate quantities (or not!) Bite size shredded wheat with skimmed milk 0pts/19g per 30g serving Creme Frais 1pt/2.4g per 100ml Semi skimmed milk 3pts/0.7g per 250ml PP are what the team...

This may seem confusing or inappropriate to start, though having done what I'm discussing before with success, still carb counting. ,,,,,,,,,I'm wanting to commit to this fully, this time round!! Please continue reading to get a better understanding!! I've registered & begun attending a Weight...

If taking shots so close together for meals/snacks, then BS's will be confusing for a bit raising for the carbs eaten & lowering for the insulin taken) take a little more insulin after but check your BS an hour or 2 after this to see whether you need more. If you're able to not consume any more...

The range of results are on the test strips, not on the control solution container!! So the result I got was in range & accurate!!

I've looked on the box & in the instruction leaflet which came with it, but can't find the range which the solution is supposed to be between, even on the website: https://diabetes.ascentia.co.uk

Having received some control solution for a blood monitor (Ascentia Conour Next) On the packaging nor in the booklet it doesn't say the range of the results to expect. I know the results should be realistic (4-8mmol/l) but they're more specific somewhere on the packaging?? I've looked on the...

I've not long ago got a new One Touch Select Plus meter (1) & had "Error 5" messages immediately after applying the blood. Then calling Customer Services, getting another meter (2) & returning the test strips (being an error with the strips, apparently!!) still getting the same error message...

when on hols, previously, as I took lucozade to treat, when hypo abroad I got what was like this. Not taking anything with me, because of restrictions onboard planes etc. I paid for items when I got there or required it. Majority of places have foods for low bloods :)

Having been diabetic for over 20 years, I've never paid for a meter, have recently ordered another, but informed there has to be at least 18months between having meters from manufacturers (offers/ads seen on pages). Test strips can be gotten on prescription from GP surgery too. Don't believe...

Having done this for over a year, I can explain the purpose of injecting twice a day. As annoying it maybe, it does serve a purpose. As Lntus dosn't quite last 24hrs, from one injection you have to put up with the highs before it runs out of the system, before injecting again, causing high's &...

I was informed by GP to see them first & if serious, they'll refer me to chiropodist, so not seen a chiropodist for a few years, but take care of my feet, washing in shower each time, also ocassionally soak my feet in soapy warm water, then rub cream into them & let them dry.
