Hi Jaylee, Thanks for your answer! I am on Levemir and Novorapid insulin and take the Levemir as a split dose. Hoping the Libre will show any patterns and help find a solution... Appreciate the placement advice! [emoji4]

Hi all, I just wanted to see what blood sugar reading you feel comfortable going to bed with? I was recently told by a nurse at my doctors surgery to aim between 10 and 11 as I usually go to bed between 6.5 and 8.5 and consistently wake up at 18. The nurse suggested I was having hypos in my...

Hi guys, quick question for you on a Saturday arvo! Just wondering when you should start to feel hypo symptoms? It's quite rare I feel anything above 3.5 (sometimes false hypos at around 4.5 if I've been quite high that day). Today was 2.9 which is closer to when I usually realise and I've...

Thanks, GrantGam! I've got an appointment coming up soon so will discuss with the DSN then! For now I'll tackle the Bertie course!

Ooo thank you for that! I take Lantus and the spikes seem to be between 12 and 2 in the morning then stay consistently high until about 8 when I wake up, test and correct. All this info I am getting from the Libre but feel the Basal test with the finger pricking would give clearer answers...

Hi everyone, I have been having pretty consistent spikes while I'm sleeping and was if this could be to do with my Basal dose. I currently take 11 units at 10pm and was diagnosed T1 in Feb. I also need to work on Carb counting and do recognise that this could be contributing to the issue. I'm...

I had Chilli Con Carne with Brown Basmati rice all together was about 50 carbs. Used 1:10 ratio. Just confusing because I had exactly the same dinner last week and there was no spike! :)

So last night, about two hours after dinner I was higher than I would have liked at 11.3.(9pm) Decided to see what happened over the next couple of hours and sure enough vision went blurry, was thirsty, etc. Checked again 14.1 (11pm) Took a correction dose and two hours after that was 8.2 (1am)...

Hi everyone, would love to make some new friends! I was diagnosed in Feb at 23. Completely out of the blue and still trying to get to grips with carb counting, ratios, etc!

Thank you! I'll look through now!

I did wonder if the high blood sugar was a warning sign something was coming but I'm not 100% sure. I never know if something is wrong because of diabetes, or illness or anxiety! I think I'll go to the walk in clinic tomorrow morning to see what they say! I've barely left the house all weekend...

Thank you for your advice! I was checking for ketones and was either negative or traces (I was told not to worry if it was traces) throughout the weekend. I've not had a whole amount of help with the basal/bolus as I was labelled as honey mooning and am taking 2 units of basal and was told to...

Hi everyone! Hope the long weekend has treated you well. Just wanted to check something with you all. Since Friday I've had high blood sugars (always in double digits... highest 18.9) until today where I'm back to single figures. I put it down to the Honeymoon Period tapering off and have...

This happened to me last night... woke up to my test alarm at 12 absolutely boiling and drenched in sweat. Sure enough 18.9... correction dose and set two further alarms to make sure it was on the way down. Life is never boring!

Thanks everyone for your advice - much appreciated! :)

Morning all, just a quick question about levels after eating... If I eat dinner and two hours later I'm at 11.9 but three hours later (after the Novorapid has worn off) I'm 7.9, is that ok? Or is the aim to not get to 11.9 so therefore I should have bolused more? I'm sorry if it's a silly...

Oh that sounds awful! I do have a history in the family but it never crossed my mind it would happen to me!

Yes, it's still all very new! Slowly getting used to it though... although I think I've figured it out and then something happens that muddles me up again! How did you find getting used to it after years without?

Yep! I'm 23! Diagnosed with T1 about 6 weeks ago.

Thanks for the advice, Tony! Will try some relaxation techniques. Have a good night.
