Hello Everyone I have been given this to try in order to reduce my insulin requirement. Are there any other Type 1's on victoza? Thanks

Afternoon All I have recently moved onto Fiasp after years of using Humalog. I haven't changed needles but I am bruising quite badly with every injection. Is this normal? I didn't get it unless I had a haematoma before Many thanks

Hello I saw that my results are on my chart, but have yet to discuss them with my GP. Does the following look ok? I have scoured this site and the NHS website trying to make sense of the conversions but can I heck figure it out. I blame the hypo (good excuse!) Thanks in advance! Karen Coded...

Morning All I have seen a lot of online mentions of the above which seems to primarily be Hydroxybutyrate based. Apparently these drinks put you in ketosis within 24 hours without needing to do very low carbing. I am keen to try this despite the fact it is super expensive. Has anyone heard...

Hi I have just checked my levels three hours after a low carb lunch and they are currently 13.4. Normally I would correct with 2 or 3 units of humalog, but I shall be working out in an hour and that is guaranteed to drop me. As an experiment I am going to skip the correction just this once and...

Hi Everyone For the past few months on and off I have been suffering with incredibly annoying itchy shins, mostly at night, disrupting my sleep and making a mess of my legs. I have not changed laundry products, and I use E45 and Diprobase but they don't help lessen the itch. Has anyone else had...

Hi Everyone I am wondering what to do next regarding lowering my bg. I am Type 1 and take MDI Levemir (split dose) and Humalog. This am at 7am I was 8.3 great for me as I have been in the teens of late when waking but increased by background by 20%. I had a small breakfast of two tablespoons...

Hi Everyone I've switched to Apridra from Humalog and I am on Day 3. Reason for switch was to see if I could drop my highs quicker. I am at a loss now because my BG is fine when I wake up (5.1 this am) but 2 hours post breakfast (same as last few months 2 x weetabix tiny bit of splenda) my...

Hi Everyone I have had a read through all the items relating to the above and I just wondered if anyone has any recent experience of taking the two together? I'm on week three and currently taking 1 in the am after breakfast and 2 in the evening with dinner. I haven't had any low readings at...

Hi Everyone Last night was a contender for the worst night's sleep ever. Around 5pm yesterday my right calf started itching intensely and sort of hurting. This turned into the most annoying 12 hours that I can remember and I've been type 1 for 14 years. I can only describe it as someone running...

Hi All Im about to restart my low carbing, not been disciplined enough this year yet and undone all my good work from before Xmas. I happened upon a video on youtube when I was looking for losing weight with Type 1, it was a doctor in Oz saying that the body only has two modes when you are Type...

Hi everyone Having problems with my 2nd memoir pen, will not display amount of insulin injected, which is pretty much the only reason anyone uses one of these pens! Lilly tell me they are aware of the fault and its a battery issue. No re-issue till next year :cry: Anyway, can anyone...

Hi All I started the year great, got into a firm routine of treadmill before work for half an hour and Zumba twice a week and was feeling the benefits, unfortunately , was also feeling pain in my knee. Got my xray results fri and they show arthritis :cry: Now I took the docs advice last...

Hi everyone Had my annual review today and I am so fed up. HBAIC in range as far as they are concerned at 7.8 I'm not over the moon but I have certainly been high enough over the last 90 days to warrant a rise. I asked the Doctor if there was anything else I could so to support my control ...

Afternoon everyone Not new the the forum or to Type 1..but new to this sort of problem. Have exercised in the past, but this am waking levels were 7.4 best result in a long time. Did a workout dvd with my son (didn't inject humalog just my morning levemir) and came to work. Checked my levels...

Morning Guys and Girls Got a shock when I went to pick up my prescription on friday, a post it note on my strips saying cholesterol was up and I needed to take simvastatin for life! Needless to say I was a bit shocked, not leastly because I was being told by the till operator and not a...

Finally a diagnosis, after the various hospital trips! After the doc telling me I had Candida last week, which was downplayed in a big way (thanks to all who replied) the ultrasound technician let slip the pcos yesterday. I don't really know anything about this yet, but they did say it can be...

Morning All Had a letter from the hosp sat to say I needed to call docs for treatment today (had a stay in hosp last week with suspected appendicitis) to treat ther above condition. Having just read up on candidasis I can't believe how much it explains about the way I have been feeling for...

Hi everyone I am officially low carbing as of monday and I'm feeling so much better with the stable levels, my question is regarding differnt fruits. Last night I had what I thought was a fairly low carb fruit salad consisting of: 5 red grapes 1 tspn pomegrante seeds 4 strawbs 3 blackberries 1...

Hi everyone I have been low carbing successfully for just over a week. Going to elaborate on that later once I feel more confident about my longevity. I bought some thorntons diabetic humbugs yesterday , plus an atkins advantage bar. Haven't touched the latter yet but i had two humbugs today...
