Sometimes, even after being T1 for more than 10 years, I just get stumped with how BS works! My control is pretty good at the moment as I'm eating healthily, low carbs and doing lots of exercise. Did a half marathon on Sunday, workout Monday and two hour long runs yesterday. This morning my...

Thanks folks!

Sorry if this has been asked before... I've been T1 for 12 years. I'm male and 35 years old. I know if I eat something which will make my BS rocket then I'll need to pee. For example, if I indulge (very occasionally!) and have a pasta meal at night then chances are my sugars will be in...

Thanks again Sam!

I've also been wondering about the link between insulin and exercise. In the past most of my exercise has been cardio - running, football mainly - and I've always taken on some carbs before and sometimes during the exercise to keep me going as after an hour or so the exercise will usually...

Thanks Sam, much appreciated!

Fascinating thread. I found it just as I was logging on to ask for some advice if anyone can help? I've been T1 for around 12 years and after probably more than a decade taking the view 'eat what I want, just inject accordingly' I'm finally taking diabetes as seriously as I probably should...

Thanks very much for replying, makes sense and much appreciated :)

Wonder if anyone has any idea what's happening. I've been T1 diabetic long enough but still don't get it sometimes! This week I've been managing my sugar levels well and eating well. For example, yesterday morning my sugar levels were 6.0. I had a slice of toast, taking 3 units of novorapid...

Thanks for the advice folks, much appreciated!

Just really don't understand things sometimes... Take this morning for instance, blood sugar was 10 when I woke up. This can be quite typical for me in the mornings if I haven't exercised the day before. So, for breakfast: 3 boiled eggs - think these have no carbs and basically very low on...

Thanks for the replies folks. Juicyj, no, not in the last 3 months - have been diabetic for around 11 years now.

Hi folks, Does anyone have any info about becoming involved in clinical trials? I try to keep up to date with the latest research and guess they must need people to test on. While I'd be happy to contribute what I can to the research, if there are any benefit to taking part, even in the short...

Hi goalie, Thanks for your reply. I think a course like daphne would really help me as even though I've been diabetic for 10 years I really don't know as much as I should. I think basic things like rotating injection sites and knowing when insulin and sugars will peak would really help me...

Hi folks, Sorry if this seems lazy. I'm sure there are lots of threads like this but it would be great if anyone can help. I'm type 1. 34 years old and been diabetic for over 10 years now. You'd think I'd have the hang of this thing by now but I'm really struggling at the moment and honestly...

Thanks folks! Yep, I am on 4 injections per day. I've never really carb counted as such. I guess I follow the 10g = 1 unit rule but in general because my diet is pretty regular I tend to take the same amounts each meal time. Generally it's the mornings which cause me issues and make me feel...

Hi everyone. My first post. I'm type 1 and have been for around 10 years now. I'm 32 next month and I'm getting worried about what lies ahead. I think I was lucky, naive and probably blasé through my twenties. Before finding out I was diabetic I was a total sugar junky, drinking litres of coke...
