Hi Juicyj, Thanks for answering, yes T1 and pumping novorapid. This was yesterday and actually I ended up lazing around doing not much at all apart from moaning! Kept chasing the hyper with insulin and the keytones came down eventually. Woke at around 4am tested and was still 16 keytones at...

Hi all, I have keytones of 0.9 up and down all morning but thereabouts. I am having lots of water and some extra insulin, bg levels also up and down 17 - 20 mmols. Question is do I just sit it out or try to stay active? TIA

He doesn’t check his levels anywhere near as much as I would like but I haven’t heard any horrendous HBA1C numbers so I would guess not ‘false hypos’ I have felt hypo at around 5 before but only when my levels have been running in in the ridiculous for a while and to my knowledge I don’t think...

He was trying to go as low carb as he could, but he really likes ice cream!! Also he takes a lot of holidays and when on holiday feels he can eat what he like. I had suggested he keep his carb intake down to around 120g a day? but he hasn’t been on any hospital courses and I think he and his...

Hi, thanks yes he says he will go to the doctors when we get home, we are away at the moment and my concern was partly that he was thinking to just stop taking them now and just let his sugars run high whilst we are away. I understand that with some pills you shouldn’t just stop taking them and...

My Father-in Law has recently been put on Metformin after about three years of trying to control his diabetes by diet only. He is experiencing quite debilitating dizzy spells most days and I am wondering whether this could be down to the manufacturer of the metformin, and if perhaps he tried a...

Thank you

Just wondering if anyone has had similar issues with their libre, and if there is a solution. The last three sensors I have applied have been quite itchy for the whole period of wearing, and have fallen of between 3-5 days early. They have left me with a sort of allergic reaction, probably to...

Thinking of you! You go girl xxx

I would second the possibility of a premenstual issue, I am fairly sure that a week or so before my period I am more resistant to insulin so find my self correcting highs continually, then it drops me like I stone as soon as I get my period and I am considerably more sensitive to my insulin. No...

OMG you guys know so much [emoji44], tbh is quite intimidating.... however very happy and grateful your all here. @tim2000s particularly impressed in your apparent total confidence in your basal rates. Mine are rubbish. I love that u are testing on such naughty things.

I'm quite small and had similar thoughts before I got my pump. I wear mine just tucked in my bra, yeah it's looks a bit wonky, but you'd have to be looking close... and i guess if it really bothered you you could compensate on the other side [emoji6] if you search around online people have all...

Banana pancakes - 2 small bananas 2 small eggs - makes about 5/6 pancakes. 5/6 g carbs each pancake. Go on....spoil yourself

Rich1889 - I use the libre reader rather than the app as have an iPhone so not sure how I can show you my results but will check with my kids when they get back and see if they know how. However my levels are spectacularly unimpressive - possibly as a result of the hypo, or the food here, or my...

Here what happened then, just in case it any use to anyone. So that first day - didn't take my libre, left it in the chalet just to be safe. Got all kitted up, all supplies in various pockets, boots on, skis on - just have a quick check before we go ....3.6 aaahhh!!! Ended up not skiing at all...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has used their libre whilst skiing. I did speak to customer services at Abbott and they just said it doesn't deal too well with temperature changes. I know it can go a bit hissy sometimes and don't want to waste a sensor, so am keeping my reader at home in the...

Diagnosed T1 age 45 - six years in - it's a roller coaster. Good luck [emoji6]

I was diagnosed as an adult and had to insist on having the tests. So should you you will feel so much better. I didn't really know how rubbish I was feeling until I started to take control and feel better. There will almost definitely be some diabetes education near you and that's the game...
