    honeymoon has anyones lasted years?.

    I’ve had T1 19 years and seem to have prolonged my honeymoon period by following Dr Bernstein’s low carb - not to the letter but mostly. It went to see him after 10 years and his assessment was that I still had 50pc of my insulin production. 9 years on that may have dropped a bit but I am still...

    Can Anyone Help Please - Event/meeting 1st September- Birmingham

    Would love to come- what a great initiative! T1 for 19 years and followed Low Carb Hi Protein for 18 of those . I’ve never been overweight and maintain 59 kg . Low Carb has meant I’ve been able to hang onto some beta cells and still only take about 20 units insulin a day in total. My HbA1C...

    Hunger

    I agree - carbs make me feel hungry too. Try having bacon or ham with your eggs and give the bread a miss. See if that works-it does for me

    Tresiba, Dawn Phenomenon, Split Dosing

    I split my doses of Tresiba as recommended by Dr B. It seems to work fine but I’ve never tried it as one dose.

    Thiamine deficiency in diabetics

    Go for it! I’ve been using Libre for 2 years now and it’s changed the way I control my diabetes. I’ve just had to spend 2 days without it - faulty sensor while away for weekend - and it feels like I’m working in the dark. I couldn’t wait to get home to fit a new one

    I’ve tried 2 Lidl stores in Chesterfield and 1 in Sheffield today but no luck. They confirmed they are discontinued. I will put in a complaint but not sure it will make much difference

    Hot!

    I am post menopausal and have started to get hot flushes. I don’t k. Ow if it’s coincidence but it does seem to be since I’ve been on Fiasp. I believe this is Novorapid with some Vitamin B3 added. When I researched side effects of B3 sure enough it said it can cause hot flushes in older women...

    Dangers with lantus

    Dr Bernstein took just me off Lantus 8 years ago because of links with cancer. I trust his evaluations and know he researches thoroughly before acting. Not worth the risk but n my opinion. Now on Tresiba split dose as he recommends

    Getting left behind...

    I’ve had T1 17 years and know how jaded you can feel about it all. I’ve found Libre has given me new motivation and I’ve seen my hba1c come down to 5.8 this year. You shouldn’t be paying more than £48 delivered from Abbott direct if you use the vat exempt option and use a free delivery code.

    Is this too much insulin?

    I would try halving your carbs at each meal and see the result.

    Diagnosed T1 at 48 17 years ago. Roughly following Dr Bernstein’s method. Found his book the best I’ve read and changed my life Managed to keep honeymoon period going - Bernstein says you can keep it going indefinitely with good blood sugar control
