Thank you all very much for your replies. I am probably very high carb at the moment wouldn't think twice about 100g+ per meal so think I will slowly start reducing each meal and see where it takes me. I may be back with more questions for you all!

Hi all [emoji4] hoping for some advice please! Bit of background been diagnosed type 1 for 1 year on lantus and humolog. Hba1c now down to 44 with no restrictions to diet just carb counting for my insulin. I'm getting married next year and need to shift some weight (3stone) so thought I might...

Yay! Fab news..good luck [emoji4]

I was prescribed metformin at diagnosis alongside insulin, I did notice a small weight loss but I would say that was a side effect of the drug more to do with the fact that i was continuously sick and nauseous and at the toilet ALOT. It then also inflamed my pancreas causing a lot of pain which...

I cannot say for sure or with any scientific fact but I know for me having been on insulin for nearly a year my weight has stayed stable, having gained 1lb from the day of diagnosis however this is just my own personal experience.

Hi as said about HBA1c is just a guide I was diagnosed nearly a year ago with a hba1c of 107 i started being it down straight away as at diagnosis I was already trying to conceive once I spoke with my consultant and explained that I already had difficulties conceiving he agreed to put me on...

Meant to add only took 1unit at dinner which brought me down that much!

Unfortunately not, I have literally been fighting off hypos continually despite drastically reducing my insulin, for example over treated before dinner and was 12.2mmols ate 30g carbs and was back to 5.4mmols within an hour and kept dropping since. DSN is thinking honeymoon which I was doubtful...

Great thanks that's what I thought just wanted some others opinions.

Quick question please, would you give basal insulin (lantus) if you were going low currently 3.9mmols (have treated) or would you wait a few hours, scared to inject and make hypo worse. TIA

Thank you for your advice, they are not new pens but i will switch to new pens just incase. Yes I am doubtful also but they cannot seem to come to any reasoning behind the sudden changes at all. Thanks again

I think that may be why I'm so confused because Saturday was a real lazy day, and I do t drink due to a history of pancreatitis so unfortunately no exciting reason for the low lol

Spoke with DSN they suggest dropping to 24unit tonight as they think it is possibly honeymoon period however I didn't think this couldn't happen this long after diagnosis possibly I am just misinformed. Thanks

It is a lantus solo star pen 100u/ml ?

Thank you, I will try dropping it further tonight, obviously concerned it starting going in the opposite direction. Am I right in saying it can take a few days to notice a change from lantus?

Hi I am just coming up to a year since diagnosis. I eat a suppose a normal healthy diet not low carb etc, and carb count, 1:10, 1:15 and 1:20 breakfast lunch then dinner. I am going low all day no particular times I have tried changing up my ration for example 60g carbs for lunch and took...

Hi all, hoping maybe someone could help. For the past few weeks I have been have more hypos then on Sunday I feel like I had hypo symptoms all day then by bed time my levels were dropping so quickly and I was being sick that despite lucozade they kept falling until I eventually got them back to...

You are doing great, well done you ! I was diagnosed around 8 months ago, hba1c of 106 when I was diagnosed it went down to 70 after just over a month and then I got them down to 44 on my next test. That took about 6 months. Can't really give any advice apart from keep testing and trying to...

I use these needles and my way around it is to just replace the pen cap with the needle on if I need too without the needle outer cone...if that makes sense.

Sorry to jump into this thread ladies but I'm looking for advice, I want to start trying for a baby I was only diagnosed last year and I have just got my hba1c results back since diagnosed which are down from 106 to 44, wondering what you had all been advised to get them to before TTC? Thanks...
