I have j I have just found this on line from Dr. Berg: "LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is primarily categorized into two main types: Type A and Type B, each with distinct characteristics and health implications. Type A LDL Characteristics: Type A LDL particles are larger and more...

I saw my GP recently with whom I discussed this and he had no answers really. I was told a while ago that with having Type 1, comes other variables, not just those which show on the form on line, but systemic issues - although I do not have much idea of what those other variables are that...

semi skimmed milk and either Sweetex or Xylitol. But bg rises often from the middle of the night, quite steeply, after injecting 4 units Levemir at around 10. When I eventually put my head down to sleep (at around 1 am), it is often around 7. Then at some point around 3,4,5,6 am, it shoots...

No, I just like a cup of coffee in the morning. It is my 'fix'!

I don't usually have breakfast and the extra 1 unit of Novo is usually to deal with a cup of coffee -only.

I do split the dose of levemir, but I do not usually inject till around 10 pm. However, often I have noticed by 4 am, it is starting to rise....

It's the A1C that is missing and should be included in this assessment.

Hi thanks for responding to me. Funnily enough, I have had a similar experience to you although I am a lot older. I too was told I was a type 2 and for two years I tried to work with that, then my BG went up suddenly to 120, and I could hardly lift my feet. I went to the GP, who was about to...

I am wondering if you have had mental health issues before you were even diagnosed? If you do not mind my asking, how old are you? Managing Type 1 must be really challenging for a young person. I am an ancient 73 years old, and was only diagnosed in 2019. Because I am retired, I am not...

MY Cholesterol has recently been measure at 5.5, which I am told as a Type 1 diabetic needs to be nearer 4. The GP said Type 1s have stickier plaque on their vessels. Now, I have followed Suneel Dhand on YouTube who says that statins for this issue are not really effective because the...

Has anyone on here done the QRisk3 test on line? It is meant to indicate what your cardiovascular risk is as a percentage. On this form, it does ask if you are a type 1, and I find that if I untype that my risk comes down to what would be normal for my age of 73. If I do tick it, my risk...

My blood glucose levels are now (for me anyway) quite a bit higher than when I was first diagnosed in 2019. The BG very often creeps right up to 10 or over through the night, and in the mornings can often take a long time to bring down. I take 3 levemir and 1 novorapid on waking up, and then...

Howzat! Just come out of shower... and 10.3 AT...... 3 minutes past 10!!! I take no credit for this!

Yes, I seem to remember trying to engage with this Libre 2+, but when I realised that if I started my sensor by scanning with the meter (or reader,), then I could not use the function with my phone? (or was it the other way round?) Anyway, I think that decided me not to go forward with it...

So is this new soft ware? Mine is not Libre 2+, but is Libre 2?

I have a Libre 2 and I do not use automatic updates.

I have tried scanning by taking the case off the phone but it has made no difference. This is so frustrating! It does not scan properly about 9 times out of 10. Surely I am not the only one getting fed up with this? I end up just using my little meter as that never fails, but sometimes I...

This going low to around 4.7 has happened to me a number of times. I have concluded that I better not get up too late in the mornings to ensure my BG goes neither too high, nor too low before I have chance to correct the excesses. Your graph does look like you are going to extremes. I would...

It works fine with the meter, but there are always problems when using my phone.
