Hello I'm due for my pfizer soon and I'd like to know if anyone had a hypoglycaemia as a reaction to it. If so, how bad was it and when did it happen?

Hey everyone.. I came here for mostly a vent but I need to get things off my chest. Today, my old neighbour was found dead in her apartment alone and it has been about 10 days before she was discovered. As tragic as it sounds, this just affected me so deeply and has created havoc on my BSL... I...

Hello I just made Macaroni and made a huge mistake apparently. I realize that dry and cooked macaroni have different carb values so i went to google the carb info in cooked macaroni and came out to be 42g carbs per 150g cooked macaroni. this works out to be 56 carbs in 200g cooked macaroni. I...

So today I was "lucky" enough that my Lantus didn't go into a vessel but very slightly went there. It was really not a big deal, my blood was 8.1 down to 3.9 in 30 minutes or less but up to 7.1 shortly after. It felt like a typical hypo accident thankfully it was not dramatic. I was thinking...

Hello, First things first, I adjusted my Lantus and now there are no dramatic drops. Just a lovely 2 or 2.5 mmol drop throughout the night which actually feels good because my sugars aren't fluctuating. However, there has always been a problem ever since I was diabetic; if I skip breakfast and...

http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/26/1/9 I stumbled across this article because I have a problem with my basal profile. I take 13 units Lantus at bedtime but there is a problem; 13 is the lowest I can go, but it drops me by 8 or 9 points throughout the night. My dinner is basically carbs...

Greetings! I have always felt thankful for this forum and I feel like the best way to repay all this community is by spreading awareness. To get right into the point, I have noticed that this community is growing to become an international one, not limited by the borders of the UK. That being...

Hi... my BG was 19.5 before taking Lantus/after 2.5 hours of dinner. Just in matter of 3 hours it managed to drop to 13.1 I have been getting a lot of these 2 hours drop and this is soooo unusual!!!! It drives me crazy and depressed! Now emotions aside I have came up with few hypothesis: 1. Low...

Can it be reversed?

Hello, I might use some help here regarding my insulin pen (prefilled) Today, I was injecting 9 units, the dial went down to 6 real quick then slowly down. This fast drop made me thinking am I really getting my dose right? My numbers suggest that I got 9 units. Does anyone exoerience this?

Hello guys! I might use some advice here regarding carn counting... Now I don't know how many carbs my 200g of cooked rice contain but I use 8 units for those (with 2 serving spoon thing stew?!). Anyway, the stew i eat is mostly tomatoes and veggies that do not contain carbs except for few...

What was your highest and lowest reading today? Lowest: 138 mg/dl Highest: 191 mg/dl Not the best control, I try to achieve a tighter control with highest being 175 mg/dl but still increasing Lantus.

Hello, I use fruit sugar as a sweetner for tea and baking etc.. It is fructose basically but brand name Fructosa by Santiviri, does anyone have experience with it? Is it good or bad being T1D? Thanks

Hello I am not sure if I am allowed to post this but I have a YouTube channel to recommend. It is run by a member of this community and she is a T1D where she shares her experiences with the ups and downs of diabetes. Generally, I think it is a great channel for newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics...

How often should i do basal testing?

I made a simple mistake that costed me roughly more than 2 months of bad control. I used to take my Lantus pen out of the refrigerator to allow it to regulate its temperature before I inject. Sometimes it would go out an hour before injection sometimes a bit more. I started to notice that my...

So long story short, I was on 19 units of Lantus and did basal testing and I was fine. Now I am on 8-10 (still need to figure this one out) and 10 seems perfect when I do basal testing except it drops me throughout the night but during the day nah. Explain this?

I use Lantus before bedtime and I stay awake after taking Lantus for at least 1 hour because I don't want to rub the injection site. I have weird sleeping positions. Never had an issue before in fact but just curious, after how long till it becomes crystallized?

Hello, I find this salad called tabouleh to be kinda diabetic friendly as it is mostly vegetables and a bit of carbs. It is one of my country's famous dishes, so let me know if you guys like it or try it. Does it fit for low carb diabetics...
