Hi I went on one just last November and can honestly say it has helped me immensely [emoji16] but one of the best things i took from it was actually meeting other type 1’s as until then i hadnt spoken to another sole who had this. Am the same as you, originally diagnosed in oct 2018 with type...

Oh, meant to add you can scan barcodes with it as well, and its got an excellent eating out and takeaway part to it.

I use Nutracheck Calorie Counter, its £30.00 for a year, but i would be lost without it, you can chose what you want to track, for me its calories, carbs and sugar but there’s protein etc that you can also track, i know its a bit pricey but I can’t praise it enough [emoji846]

Hi I was originally diagnosed as type 2 for 6 months and was put on metformin and when rediagnosed as type 1.5 (LADA) and prescribed humalog and originally lantus i was advised to keep taking the metformin as it (dont quote me on this word for word as i have the memory of a goldfish [emoji23])...

meant to also add, was up for a wee at 5am this morning so tested and was 6.1 which is brilliant (for me) but did my proper count at 7.30am and was back at 10.4 [emoji30][emoji30]

Morning all Serial lurker here :) Quick background to me, diagnosed as type 2 October 2017, nothing seemed to work, diagnosed type 1.5 (LADA) in July 2018, straight on to quick acting Humalog but no background insulin. I am on 1 unit of QA = 20 carbs and my Hba1c in July was 83, and now (done...

hi, i also have the HumaPen Luxura HD and cant praise it enough, as well as the definite click sound to it, it also allows you to do 1/2 units (the reason i needed it). only downside to it is that it only comes in green [emoji23]

Hi My bedtime counts tend to be approx 7 so i have a definite rise during the night. Have done random tests during the night and they have been +/-1 to my eventual morning count (tested 2.30am, 4.00am, and various other ungodly times), so looks like my rise comes very early on. I have my...

Hi All I'll keep this brief (as I can!). Type 1.5 (LADA), diagnosed 2nd July 2018, initially diagnosed as type 2 last October but got nowhere with diet and Metformin, so in June started feeling really off, losing weight, drinking like a fish and wee'ing for Scotland, so tests were done, and it...

Thanks for coming back to me, definitely one to ask my nurse on next visit. Dont worry, i wont be following your diet (dont get me wrong, everything looks yummy, but i would put on 20 stone within a month!), i just really liked what you had to say and was refreshing to hear from another t1 who...

Hi, sorry this is a bit off topic, and dont know if i am picking you up wrong, but are you able to take 1/2 units of humalog? Am still pretty new to this, but think i am getting a handle on things, but i am only on 1 unit for every 20 carbs and the ability to take half a unit would make trying...
