Hi everyone, I'm a type 1 diabetic with ceoliacs (can't eat Wheat or Gluten). I have a high cholesterol and am underweight (46kg / 101lbs). The fact that I can't eat gluten makes my diet very hard as I have to restrict most things from my diet. I am struggling significantly and want to be able...

Thank you everyone for replying. I am struggling with gaining weight as of unknown reasons (as my GP and I are working on it), but to level me out on trying to gain weight and keep my levels at bay is definitely a big struggle. I weigh 50kg and trying to manage each meal with the right...

Hello everyone. I am a 21 year old, Type 1 Diabetic with a high dose of long and short acting. I currently am still not doing carb counting with my meals due to a lot going on at the moment.

Was Morning: Levemir 40 units. NovoRapid 18 units. Evening: Levemir 30 units. NovoRapid 16 units. Now: Morning: NovoRapid 18 units. Evening: Lantus 40 units. NovoRapid 10 units.

Thank you for the reply. I have noticed that it does sting more, I wasn't sure if that was because of the change of the insulin or if it is the insulin itself. My mother told me it 'may' be because it's thicker than levemir but I'm still unsure.

Hey everyone, I know this is a UK site, but I just need a quick answer since I have already started the process of changing my long acting Insulin and cannot find anything online. I'm 19 years old and just wanted to know if there will be any side effects on changing to a different type of...
