Had a weekend full of carbs and wine and even made some poppies like this one out of tin cans. I enjoy the process of making them... Tony

I get it @Nicola M . I can run so much lower at night time thanks to my CGM. I can still manage with just a meter but cannot afford to run in the 4s and 5s especially at night. Good luck Tony

Good morning Sorry to be dull but i'm having one of those "oh what a lovely graph " mornings 5s all night flat lined and sat on 6.1 as i type. I really do feel pleased when things go well and want to share but then get concerned people think i'm being smug which i'm not..... I wish you all...

I have already posted that not much fazes me but the thought of a pump does @EllieM ! The very thought of it makes me shudder but i'm not sure why and i'm smiling as i type. However i'm wise enough to know i might get the change from levemir wrong and i might need help and/or even a pump!! My...

Hi Good post for me as i am a levemir twice daily and novorapid user. However i do things a bit differently so cannot answer a few of @Jamie S point. Type 1 of 50 years i don't see a specialist or attend a diabetic clinic and rely on experience and my wits. I don't mean that to sound smug its...

Hi @Chop1 Welcome to you.. Whilst i understand the necessity to understand diet allow me to add my slightly different viewpoint.....in a good way hopefully. As a type 1 of 50 years in good shape and control i rely on 3 things....insulin carbohydrates and activity ( i dont use the word...

Hi @pokersteve I hope you are ok. I'm a type 1 of 50 years and i sort of flip in and out of low carbing. I follow a simple equation to keep my levels good... Carbs insulin and activity and i use the word "activity" to avoid the word "exercise" as it puts people off and i don't actually do...

Hi Its peculiar to the individual. For me monday to friday i take 10 units for my evening meal. I am active at work and have a light lunch. At weekends i am not active and need around 15 units for the same amount of carbs. Thanks to the libre i worked out years ago the simple act of walking has...

Another one of those "oh what a lovely graph " moments on waking. I slept well for a change and the two things i did different yesterday was ... 1.. i had a big intake of carbs for lunch like 80g which i only do on christmas day! 2.. Had a large tea (i'm from up north where its tea time at 6 pm...

Hi No change for me. I wish you well Tony

I am annoyed for you!!! I Don't see any specialist whatsoever and my GP surgery take my blood. My GP himself said he wished people would take control of their diabetes like i do.....his words not mine. You jolly well carry on looking after yourself. Tony

I woke on 6.2 this morning and then i started to rise but my stroll in to work brought it back down and i'm at 5.4 as i type. I was looking at my libre and i stayed steady all night and said to myself "what a lovely graph" ..... I giggled a bit and i wonder has anyone posted a thread about...

Hi I was in the doctors surgery not long ago talking to a nurse when my alarm went off. She was concerned at my lack of concern lol as i was reading 3.2 mmol.... While i was waiting to be seen i had already eaten. She didn't grasp it until on leaving her insulting room lol i had returned to...

Nice stable afternoon ....

Hi It was a breeze for me Tony

Hi I agree with @EllieM and i too am a seasoned pro of 50 years. If you are having 2 to 3 weetabix with milk and sugar you are looking at around 50g of carbs before bed...... i could not achieve the results i do with such a huge intake of carbs before bedtime. Do you have a CGM? Carbs, exercise...

I made this little chap last night and was quite late going to bed.....levels a bit high but i needn't have worried as my alarm went off at 3am reminding me i need to stop moving and get to bed earlier.lol Tony

Hi I was just saying how the libre works for me and how i get it to run accurately most of the time with the hba1c confirming this. For me the libre is accurate high or low with years of experience in using it. Tony

Woke on 6.8 and feeling v tired. Now at work 5.4 supping coffee and debating a biscuit. I'm on some new to me GF stem ginger ones from asda and it says they are 13g per biscuit yet they taste v sweet and effect my levels like they are nearer 20g per biscuit. Lovely though lol Tony
