    Type 1 High symptoms normal blood sugars?

    Type 1: Snacks and bolus

    That's right, as long as the basel is set right her bloods shouldn't alter too much unless she is more active

    Type 1: Snacks and bolus

    The diabetic nurse told me when I did the dafne course that I could eat 10g of carbs between meals with no bolus. This was because 10g could move bloods up between 2-3 mmols which would be ok. This seems to work for me but as said before everyone is different and is just trial and error.

    Type 1: Diabetics. Family connection?

    My dad was diagnosed when he was 15, my uncle when he was 20 and I was diagnosed at 13. Plus numerous other family members so for me it definitely runs in the family. I have the same worries about my 4 year old daughter :(

    Accucheck Insight and Swimming

    Hi this might sound like a stupid question. I have recently gone on to the insight pump and am going swimming in the morning. I know the pump needs taking off but do you just stop the insulin? I do this when I go in the shower but the pump alarms all the time I am in there there, am I missing...

    Reduced Insulin On Pump

    I am using the accucheck insight, it was the only one the trust offered but to be honest after researching it was the one I wanted anyway so that was lucky. I will get on amazon and have a look for that book to be honest it feels like being diagnosed all over again. :)

    Reduced Insulin On Pump

    Hi, thanks for the replys everyone, I have spoken to the diabetic nurse who says that she thinks that my body wasn't absorbing the pen injections which would make sense as I seemed to be on huge amounts compared to other people I know. I have dropped right down to about 50% of my normal basel...

    Reduced Insulin On Pump

    Hi everyone, I am new here and have been diabetic for 23 years and finally got a pump yesterday. I am after a bit of advice, did any body elses' insulin intake drop dramatically after starting on the pump? They set me up on 20% lower basel with two more lower profiles. I have already had to drop...
