Thanks everyone! Just a quick reply as I'm about to nip out. I will download the apps x ratios I've still not got a clue. I'm injecting 1 unit per 10grams typically, and basal 14 units before bed. I need to stop binging on sugar before bed, that's my main problem! I then of course under bolus as...

Hello everyone, cut a long story short I was diagnosed with t1 officially in 2012, was misdiagnosed with gestational diabetes in 2010, despite my weight being 7 stone and sugars of 30 plus for 2 years... Healthy babies etc all good. I was approved an insulin pump in March 2017, but changed back...

I changed to tresiba in October last year, I was on 12 units of levemir so started on 10 units of tresiba, works well for me! :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Anticarb that's my other reason for doing it lol, just had my 3rd baby six weeks ago and I've got 10lbs to go until I'm at my pre pregnancy weight, miss my old clothes! It's nice not having the high and low swings too, testing 5x a day now compared to 10x least my gp will be happy haha Sent...

Thing is now I don't even miss the chocolate,much as I enjoyed my carb counting course I still find it unbelievable we were encouraged to drink full sugar juice cartons, cereals etc. When I was diagnosed I cut out everything like that, and had a hba1c of 5.9 in October, then I did dafne, my...

Hi everyone, quick post but I'm so glad I've gone low carb, only day 5 but already my meter average is down from 7.9 to 6.8, my fasting readings are more consistent, I'm going to bed around 6.5 and waking between 5.9 and 6.5, I haven't had a morning reading lower than 7.1 in 2 years! I've also...

I think its an individual thing Misty, since i commented i've now had to increase to 1u per 15g, and now on 7units of basal :oops: :? so i'm guessing my pancreas has packed in that little bit more :o in some ways though i'm thinking it might be easier, constantly adjusting every few days...

I'm a couple of years down the line now and i still have days where i think to he*l with it, but at the same time no-one else can change things or make it better, so ultimately its down to us to deal with it the best we can. Have you tried starting with your background and seeing if thats...

Between 6.5-8 for me Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Good advice from Sam there,also can I just ask what you had for breakfast? Only because since I ditched cereals (or high carb in general) my high/low swings have gone, for example if I had 2 shredded wheat, my 2hour post reading could be 12mmol, with a rapid drop to 2-3mmol a hour later, it's...

8.0, i would love to be between 4-6 but due to the dawn phenomenon i can't :cry:

I would of thought it would be ok, my hospital use lucozade so that's another option x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Sorry you've had a rough day, hypos are draining, I do find I lower my ratios if I'm on the move a lot, can pretty much eat double/or half my insulin as I'm really sensitive to it!x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I also get a rise past 6am, **** dawn phenomenon, but generally no matter what time of day it is, I feel sick/lethargic when I'm over 9mmol Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Other than they have a small amount of sugar in them I don't know, I've always had them and found it didn't raise my levels by more than 1mmol :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

That's shocking I think you should make a complaint! Hope your levels stabilise soon and you feel better x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

They don't usually let you eat in labour if on insulin, have they talked to you about your birth plan yet? As usually it means sliding scale of insulin and just water to drink Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi, I was diagnosed in 2010 with type 1 and I'm still producing some of my own, I'm currently only on 5units of background insulin and 1unit per 20g of carbs of rapid acting. I've been quite low carb since diagnosis which may of helped, though I'm not too sure! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Was that 2 hours after? It might be the rice part of it with it being high GI x
