In my opinion, this guy is on point. Calorific value is everything, it's simple calories in -v- out. Op, I suggest you listen to justbe as he knows what he is on about. I went from almost 14 stones to 10 in almost a year, though that wasn't keto alone, it included weight lifting, martial...

What is this other forum you speak of? Am I missing out?

Just wondering have you tried any other background insulin? Years ago I got hold of a Lantus pen from another diabetic (yes bad practice I know...) Anyway, I felt exhausted on it, my mind was cloudy and it was a few bad days of taking it. I went back to Levemir and felt normal again... Though...

There is a link between T2 and depression and from the limited research I've done in the past it appears to be around serotonin synthesis and other hormone imbalances that would generally come with being overweight, for example reduced testosterone in men. But if you're not giving yourself...

I place some surgical tape over mine, the fabric type, I think it's elastitape or something, try that and see how you get on.

Call Abbott it should continue logging for 8 hours. A new sensor will have a lapse of an hour or so, but from there it should have an 8 hour log.

Have no idea who you are or what happened, but sometimes nobody shows up and you automatically win.

I've gone to Turkey, Canada, Netherlands, Lanzarote and somewhere else I can't remember with insulin and there's been no issues at all! Just in case though I did get a print out from my docs of my usual medications to prove that I've rightly been prescribed, as I had some other meds that could...

Personally I've not officially told my employee, but just said if it seems like I'm a blubbering mess or randomly stuffing my face with sweets it's because of diabeeeetus.

I just have had 5 delivered, though ordered on Sunday evening. Perhaps the NHS has bought a bucket load in prep for 1st November and beyond...I doubt it though.

So I've been a long term NovoRapid user, though I found NovoRapid was easy to overshoot as the onset was a bit slow, and then came in aggressively for me. So I read about Apidra, and my GP was happy to prescribe, the biggest waste of time ever, its onset for me was almost 2 hours, then a weak...

I made a thread about how awesome it is recently. I'm on day 13 and mine has always been 0.2-1.2mmol of my meter which is perfectly fine for me. I've got good hypo awareness so that doesn't worry me, I've gone against what Abbott have said, and use it as my only testing method. I done around 5...

Ok thanks all, I'll explore the options, if a sleek setup that doesn't look like I'm carrying a pager is available I'll look into it. Edit: no I'm not a stripper... definitely not with my potato face.

Hi all, Is there an actual difference to bolus and basal other than release rate? I ask as people on pumps rely on fast acting insulin being slowly dripped in, is this to say there's no actual difference in the insulins and it's just a case of delivery mechanism?

John are you a young person? The space raiders crisps made me laugh...remind me of my younger days.

@helensaramay Thanks for that super informative and helpful post. Definitely some things to consider, the trouble is it's tax payers money so I definitely don't want to trial something I may not use in the long term. I'm going to see how the Fiasp works out and see if I can regain good...

Hi, So I asked for some fiasp and GP was happy to prescribe, unfortunately my hba1c has been pretty **** for the last few years... My gp looked at my charts on my Libre, and my average hba1c and said he can recommend me for a pump...at first I thought oh wow, a CGM system is sweet... But then...

What's all these unsupportive posts?

Is this based on published evidence or anecdotal evidence? My response of cool story probably wasn't the best way forward, but nor is scaremongering people about DKA (which doesn't kill instantly, where a severe enough hypo can or leave you as a potato...) Not disputing the half Lantus idea...
