Who knows, maybe one day... I'd love to see your part of the world but it is very far away.

You could always throw a Freezer Food Party @jpscloud and @Annb ! :joyful: It's a shame you live so far away, I'd love to join such a party.

Thanks @DJC3 . The hypo wasn't scary, just very annoying and it made me feel like **** for half an hour, nothing worse. :) I've wanted to try your yarg since that cheese thread I started exactly two years ago...

I get very sleepy when my bg is high. Can it be you fall asleep because the meal spiked you and not the other way around? How do you adjust your doses to your food? The correct dose is what keeps you mostly in range. If you go high after meals you might want to look into your insulin doses. The...

Those smart watches claiming they measure blood sugar are a scam. The only ways to measure it are with a finger prick device or with a continuous glucose monitor. I'm sorry, we all wish those watches were for real.

A watch does not measure blood sugar.

That sounds perfectly easy, and I've added it to my CMT. ;) No cooking today so my main meal was two slices of LC toast with 7 different toppings. A very interesting and flavourful German liverwurst, store bought tuna mayo, German 'zwiebelmettwurst', stinky Muenster, a cheese I forgot the name...

How is your blood sugar doing on all those carbs?

Good luck, and ask aything you want on the forums!

Hi @sammydee1980 , welcome to the forum I don't use apps so I can't help you with your question, but you might like to read this thread on food and T2 diabetes: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/jos-nutritional-thingy.210026/ Many of our members use this approach, some eat a little more...

Crisps are very high in carbohydrate so they will likely increase your blood glucose.

I often need easy hacks to have a meal, like today when my meal will be a fish fillet a la bordelaise from Aldis freezer section. So how do you make your microwaved cauliflower cheese? Pic of yesterdays meal for tax: A perfectly cooked pepper steak (lucky me, I never cook steak), a cob of corn...

I absolutely love my endo! She wrote me a reply this morning, looks like she took her time doing some research for me on top of sharing her own experiences with patients. :) I'll share our complete conversation (translated by google, I'm lazy) for others to read if they are wondering about...

For me, I always felt too hot in the period leading up to diagnosis when I unknowingly had high bg. Not so much after starting insulin and getting my bg down to more or less normal levels, but I attributed this to not having high bg all the time, not the insulin in itself. I still like cold much...

Coming at this from another angle: If you need to cut carbs drasically, I'm assuming you're not usually eating very low carb. Have you calculated how many carbs you get from the milk in your tea? At 4.5 grams of carbs per 100 ml, there are very little carbs in a splash of milk, so how much milk...

Some posts have been moved because the very useful discussion on half unit pens went outside the topic of this thread and is more useful as a thread of its own, here is the new thread: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/half-unit-pens-for-microdosing.210835/ Can we keep this thread mainly...

I did some googling today and I did find that pain relief lasts for 3 weeks on average. Why even do it? On the other hand, @Rachox , @grantg , and @h884 all mentioned positive effects so I'm not sure yet. If I'm even offered the injection of course. Three weeks of sleeping without pain in my...

An increase of insulin need of about 20% seems very doable. I'm optimistic reading you needed to slowly decrease, I'm worrying about increasing my insulin only for it to suddenly be too much. But if the effect tapers off, I can taper off my increased insulin dose with it. :) Having my diabetes...

I'm having an appointment with my rheumatologist next week. Last time I saw her was over a year ago, we couldn't pinpoint a diagnosis so we agreed on waiting and seeing until next year, which is now. A year ago, she seemed very keen on giving me a steroid injection in my knee. The knee bothered...

You may be interested in my set up. My main basal is Tresiba, I absolutely love it for its stability and forgiveness in timing (doesn't matter if I take it at 10 pm or 6 AM, it just keeps doing its thing). Which means tinkering doesn't work, so I use Tresiba in the lowest basal dose I need, and...
