Does anyone else have this problem? I'm so despondent. Everything spikes me and I have to take so much insulin all the time. Carb, protein, fats - doesn't make any difference i spike really high every time. I pre bolus. I make sure my libre is on a down arrow before eating but nothing seems to...

I havent been very well the last few weeks ( flu/sickness bug) and as a result my bloods were running higher than normal. I kept them in check but had to almost double my Insulin requirement. Now i am better but I weighed a few days a go and I have put on over half a flipping stone!! I...

As above. I need to try and note what insulin I take with food so that I have some sort of record to refer back to. At the moment I carb count ( which is fine ) but I need to have an easy way to save it all. I have used the MySugr app but dont find theres enough room to write down food...

So for the last week I have been getting really high Dawn Phenomenon. It's starting at around 2 - 3am and I'm going from around 7mmol right up to between 16 - 20mmol! I wake up at around 6ish and always correct it. I have the libre and I can see its happening like clockwork. It's a big rise...

Today i had a ham salad brown bread sandwich for lunch. I took my insulin then went for a 20min walk. My arrow was pointing straight down on the Libre so I started to eat. I took the correct amount of insulin and my BG rose from 5.3 to 7.5 after 2 hours. Then I checked 30 min later and it was...

Sometimes if I am running a bit late I will grab a sandwich for lunch. I generally try to stay away from it. I always take the right insulin to match my carb but i always spike too high even after 3 hours. I go for granary or wholemeal with a chicken or ham filling. I was thinking it could be...

I've been having really high blood sugar in the morning the last few days, up in the 17 - 20s. Im usually well controlled so this is a bit of a surprise. I eat low carb and haven't eaten before bed plus I'm going to sleep on a good number for me. It is my time of the month so I'm thinking (...

Hello. I've been type 1 since February ( diagnosed on my birthday! ) I'm doing ok and I pre bolus for all my meals which works well. I am having a bit of trouble with morning rises though. I can be a good figure when I wake up but even when I pre bolus for say 20 mins before eating I'm rising...
