    Ozempic

    I have just seen a new endocrinologist. I had some new blood tests and he has changed my meds. I am now taking 20 units of tresiba once a day plus Ozempic once a week. I am still on Humalog fast acting (although not really that fast for me!) if I need it for carbs but I try not to eat the big...

    Food shopping and cooking for one

    Good point. What about having a cooking session once a week. Each week buy enough for say 4. Cook a dish, eat one portion and freeze the other three. In a few weeks you’ll have a tasty stash of good home cooked food. There are many specific keto freezable recipes. Also, no need to cook...

    Shocked by bake off comment

    I cease to be shocked by ignorant comments. What I am truly shocked and disgusted by is the fact that The Great British Bake Off is aired at all. With a nation so ill and reliant on so many dangerous prescription meds and high streets (and everywhere really) full of countless carb and sugar...

    Bruising

    I have been noticing increased bruising when I inject. Usually this doesn’t happen but recently I’ve noticed that I’m bruising often and the injections are stinging a bit. Last night I injected my stomach and immediately a small hard lump and bruise formed (indicating a little pocket of blood...

    I officially cannot be diagnosed...

    Yes, me, I’m in exactly the same position. I’m quite strict with my eating and barely use my humalog bolus, but if I ever have to it takes hours to work. I’m going to ask to switch to a faster acting insulin. Recently the DN asked if I wanted further tests. I said no and feel that the...

    Type 1 Weight!

    I can sympathise. I lost a lot of weight and my skin was literally hanging from my bones. As soon as I started insulin I gained weight. I honestly put on about half a stone in about ten days! I have gained a total of 2 stone. Once I started to feel better I was able to start exercising...

    Weird unusual blood sugar levels

    Blimey, that’s very different to me. I am on basal/bolus. I have been on a LCHF diet for over 4 years and exercise. I barely inject with meals as my carb intake comes from veg and salad so nothing to inject for but if I miss my basal insulin my bloods rise. As mentioned, is it both insulins...

    Insulin out of fridge

    Thank you all for your replies. I shall give it a go and hope it works and is not wasted. Worst case scenario is that it doesn’t and I buy here if necessary. I think common sense will prevail. Happy bank holiday to all in uk.

    Insulin out of fridge

    I spend a lot of time in Spain. I am on 2 x insulin (basal/bolus) and had 2 packs of each to bring last week. My husband bought a mini fridge to plug into car and the ferry because the frío cooler pack was not big enough for all the pens. We also had an overnight stay in a hotel. All worked...

    Dieting

    The autoimmune paleo diet would be a good place to start. There are some good cook books too.

    Yes, it must be the milk. Probably a powder milk. Sadly. Don’t like black coffee.

    Blood sugars

    Costa coffee etc is shocking. Steer well clear of that and machine coffee etc. I was fine 6.4 when tested, having had breakfast about an hour previously. Then I stopped on my journey, had a costa coffee, americano, from a machine at a petrol station and about half an hour later I’d gone up to...
