    Type 1 Ketones

    Good to hear that, thanks for letting us know your ketones are back to a more reasonable level.

    Type 1 Ketones

    Over 3mml/L would be regarded as being at risk of DKA. Though high blood sugars are the most obvious sign of DKA, if you didn't taken enough insulin, maybe because you were feeling sick, yesterday, that would be the reason you have such high ketones. I assume you've taken insulin now? Are you...

    Sadly, the current model for universities involves getting as much money out of students as they can. Good luck with getting them to agree to what they previously agreed.

    Looks like they are still trying to get money out of you.

    Scared of dying

    Hello @colpaxclarke I hope you get some help with this soon, but I wonder if this fear might be related to a bigger issue around feeling as if you didn't matter in some way, at some point in your life. Hopefully once you get some help you can explore this. There our ways to create an impact...

    I would agree with this. We obviously all have the greatest of respect for moderators and the work they do, and recognise how difficult a job they have. However we T1Ds are only a small part of the forum, and this thread has allowed us to find a space that feels like ours, so obviously we are...

    I think doing things in Knikki's honour is an excellent idea. I'm going to make my lunch in his honour, we must remember him. :angelic::angelic::angelic::angelic::angelic:

    Naughty? I won't ask, just in case somewhere in the somewhat extensive forum rules is a clause that bans someone for explaining why they got a ban, or even a ban for asking someone to explain why they got a ban.

    What happened to Knikki, did he get in to trouble, or something?

    Sorry to hear you're not feeling very optimistic today. Try to keep things in perspective, I bet you only put the photos of yourself on facebook a year ago in which you looked really thin, and the difference isn't anything like as much, in reality, as it looks from here. Try not to get too...

    Morning all, not much going on. Seem to have a slight cold, or something, which might be pushing blood sugar up a bit, but not loads, totally survivable though, so barely worth mentioning. I've decided to paint the kitchen pink, just can't decide how pink. Hope you all have a good day.

    Sorry to hear about your experience @smc4761 how about chaining pens to the desk, that's a nice uncomplicated solution. :)

    Scone, scone, I don't know anymore, it's been so long since I ate one.

    Type 1 Insulin and carb counting

    This is such an "it depends" thing. I think the most common ratio of insulin to carbs tends to be 1:10 so they've assumed that for you, and probably suggested less just to be careful, to avoid a hypo. So yes 7 units for 80 grams of carbs is about right. But you'll just have to try it and see...

    Morning all, nothing much to tell. Blood sugar just doing what it wants, but mostly within reasonable boundaries, rather than anything too unacceptable. I don't mess around with getting my prescriptions delivered direct to pharmacies, I just don't trust anyone in the chain enough. Though the...

    Morning everyone, slept beautifully, but had a high of 16 and woke with a low of 2.9. I did do a correction, but it was still a great sleep. That often seems to happen. Anyway, all is fine now, arm is getting slightly achy after flu jab, I wonder if the high was a result of that, I don't know...

    Trigger warning: suicide

    Hello @hollyslot I agree with what others have said, I just want to flag up one other thing, as it MIGHT be worth thinking about, but then again might not. T1D can maybe force us to focus too much on negative things about the future, as there is a tendency to try to scare us into controlling our...

    How to stop Messing up

    I used to have a bad habit of eating too many biscuits, or sugary stuff, and then feeling guilty. Then I managed to stop. I'm not quite sure how, so I can't pretend I really know, but I think if you can, rather than treat yourself to sugary foods, maybe see if you can "treat yourself" with...

    Quite demanding aren't they, wanting to you to go away for two hours, then turn up again.
