    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Stubborn BG that didn't want to drop below 7.5 for hours, despite multiple doses of insulin. Which made me grumpy and not wanting to eat. (Which is ridiculous because my zuurkoolstamppot doesn't really raise me, but hey, that's grumpiness. And the fact that it was day 4 of the same meal, which...

    Buffalo butter

    I'm not in the UK, never saw it in any of the supermarkets I visit. But then again, I haven't really looked for it, so maybe they have it.

    Feel tired and low

    does skipping meal raise blood sugar

    Fix the tooth! Any type of infection can raise blood glucose.

    Food and blood readings

    You only rose 2 mmol/l, from 9.7 to 11.7. Which shows that the gliclazide didn't do a bad job to deal with those carbs. But because you were on the high side to start with, you ended up even higher. Assuming the problem is gallstones, have you noticed more trouble with your gallbladder after...

    Holiday

    Tresiba is the most forgiving of all insulins when it comes to timing, very different from Levemir! What I would do is take it at your usual time at home, and then at the same time once there, much easier to keep following your routine. It doesn't matter that you'll be taking it 4 hours earlier...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Enjoy! I was thinking of you when I chose the mug for my kefir! I now have a mental image of you doing your chores while softly humming the word zuurkoolstamppot, it's what I do with favourite words and words that sometimes ramdomly stick to my brain. :joyful: And zuurkoolstamppot is very...

    Given trurapi instead of novorapid

    Have you discussed this with your HCP? If you have some kind of sensitivity to this insulin, it might be a reason to go back to your former insulin.

    Slow release carbs work for you?

    Do you use a glucose meter to see what your blood glucose is when you're having symptoms?

    Ketones, potential illness and low carb diet

    I just noticed a thread you posted about a year ago, and also the one on Lantus lows and switching to Tresiba you posted today. Last year you were struggling with health anxiety, how have you been doing with those fears during the past year? Can it be that this anxiety is rearing it's ugly head...

    Ketones, potential illness and low carb diet

    With 30 grams of carbs a day, you're supposed to see ketones, you're following a keto diet. One of the downsides of being in ketosis is that checking ketones doesn't tell you anything about ketoacidosis (unless you're measuring very high ketones perhaps). Do you have a history of DKA? From...

    Tresiba split dosing question

    The Lantus low was the scariest thing that has ever happened in my 7 years of diabetes, much scarier than mixing up basal and bolus. I was absolutely convinced that I wouldn't wake up again if I closed my eyes, but I couldn't fight the urge anymore. When I woke up again some two hours later, I...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I somewhat mis-guessed my dose for the bread, egg and kefir (still trying to work out how to dose for kefir, and also going through some changing insulin needs at the moment, so all the rules have been changed), so shortly after this breakfast I was at 7.7, arrow up. And so I pulled the same...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Late breakfast of a perfectly boiled duck egg on LC bread with cheese, and a cup of lightly salted kefir. Boiling eggs and finding out you nailed the timing always feels like you've won the lottery, especially with all the different sized eggs our garden provides. :hilarious: Evening meal...

    Daily testing v HBa1c

    Yes, you can assume this. But it depends on when you test. If you only test fasting BG, you may miss a lot of high numbers throughout the day. Well done on getting your hba1c from 68 to 41 in only 4 months!

    I am a little in shock!

    With the sudden onset of symptoms, him being relatively young for a T2, is slim and active, and has an hba1c in the higher levels of diabetes, I hope his HCP is aware of the possibility it's not T2 but T1. There is no way to tell what type he has from the information he has at the moment, it's...

    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    Hi @JoeeoJ , welcome to the forum. This thread is exactly what it seems: A lighthearted way of intruducing ourselves and not a wicked way to pry out information to use in advertising. (In fact, once you've signed up there are no advertisements on the forum at all, thankfully.) But this is an...
