    Problems with Dawn phenomona

    I usually have dinner around 7-8pm. I might have a snack around 10pm, though this is infrequent. It is usually fine before bed, anywhere between 5-7.

Recurring blood glucose reading during this time window appears to be anywhere from 9 -- 12.9 I take my basal insulin anywhere from 8.30pm to 10.00pm. Morning basal injection is...

    Kids & teens -- how do they manage it?

    Just a quick message to let everyone who is following this thread that I will soon close both surveys (in the next couple of days) as the response rate has slowed significantly. After closure, I will begin the analysis immediately. There has been such an exciting response so far... over 950...

    Who is troubled by injecting in public? Just me?

    From the outcome of this survey, you might be surprised about the kids (and teens) ;) .. age does seem to make a difference, but it's less clearly defined than one might think. P.S. Love the idea of 50 simultaneous injections going off -- surely this is a missed world record opportunity!

    Who is troubled by injecting in public? Just me?

    Thank you for such a detailed and supportive comment. I have also never seen anyone injecting in public. I would say, however, that there are many factors as to why it's unlikely to see another diabetic injecting, e.g. proportion of diabetics who inject to the greater number of non-diabetics in...

    A friend of mine described his experience of injecting in a toilet cubicle in a nightclub -- the door was busted down by bouncers thinking he was taking drugs.... luckily it resolved quickly

    DAFNE Course

    From my experience, I enjoyed DAFNE. Some parts were highly useful in plugging some serious holes in my exercise know-how living with diabetes, and others were a little tedious in terms of covering what I already knew about biology, carb counting, and nutrition. I already new the biological...

    Thanks for completing the questionnaire. Glad you have no problems. I have found that being involved in a conversation with a friend while you inject can be a good way to relieve one's own focus sometimes

    Who is troubled by injecting in public? Just me?

    Thanks for completing the survey! Glad to hear you have no serious problems injecting in public. All the kit can be a bind. I find it can make the most unfortunate areas of one's pockets bulge... o_O (or fortunate, depending on who you're trying to impress....)

    Who is troubled by injecting in public? Just me?

    Thanks so much for completing the questionnaire. I, too, have sometimes resided to finding a bathroom to inject in. It can be a relief if I'm feeling particularly self-conscious... injecting in private, that is! In the meantime, you'll have to produce some works of art during your bathroom breaks ;)

    Thanks for your responses! I am sorry to hear that you feel lonely as a cause of having the disease, it is a very common and deeply unfortunate feeling shared by many of us at one point or another. The support here on this forum is top notch -- keep making use of it! Stay well.
