I hate that too! It feels like you are signing your life unknowingly away with all the terms and conditions listed on so many things.

I don't think I ever have. But it could make sense. If you have an infection or sick you usually use more and have higher sugars and they get better as you get over it, so the antibiotics might be helping you get better and hence bringing down blood sugar levels? More sensitive to insulin? I...

And as soon as you decide to make that correction, 10 minutes later you start to drop and now you know you should have waited just a little longer. :oops:

Joslyn did some research on continued production of insulin in long term Type 1's. They briefly mention it on this page, hit the plus sign under results and it talks about it. https://joslin.org/research/medalist-program-study

Lows all night last night. Periodically this happens to me and can happen for 1 night or 3 nights in a row. Tonight at the first sign of a drop I will adjust my basal to 75% less for 4-6 hours. Exercise normal, eating time normal.I don't know why I didn't adjust my basal instead of keep getting...

@Tony337 Those are wonderful skills to pass on to a kid! He will be able to put it to good use his whole life, save him lots of money and know more when he is dealing with any construction person! It was good he was willing to learn!

@Nicola M I agree with @Antje77 , steroids will do it!! I am amazed your TIR improved, that means you handled them pretty well! Insulin is always like water to me when I've had to have them.

@Tony337 Lol... At least you like salads!!!!!! Fresh meals are always best and the healthiest! I am always mixing it up with whats in my salad and I like lots of veggies in mine!!! I eat a huge salad for my major meal about 3 times a week. I top it with either tofu, tempeh, seitan, or an...

@Tony337 Sometimes if you put things over the veggies that you do like gets you used to eating that vegetable more. I used to have boyfriends when I was young that didn't like veggies, I would put Hollandaise sauce or cheese over different veggies and they would love it! Lemon over broccoli...

@Tony337 They make taro donuts here! You get them freshly made and served hot! Absolutely delicious and gluten free. A small place that has opened a few locations now. Taro is common here but there are no stats on almost anything taro, forget donuts. I had to start with what regular donuts are...

I don't have a problem with potatoes, although there is a purple potato here I love and if I eat too many with margarine on it, it proves trickier. Rice was the battlefield for me. I am finally better about eating small amounts, a couple of spoonfuls and I'm fine but a cup?? No...... And lately...

I have been a vegan for 40 years and a vegetarian for 57 years. I wasn't about to give up my way of eating when I became a T1. I've never had a problem. Enough protein is easy unless you don't eat a lot. If you don't eat a lot then you do have to make sure you include enough protein, but that is...

In the US you can buy a home testing kit on Amazon. I would think you can in the UK too.

Good Morning! I hope everyone is in good health!

I have put the Libre on in several different spots and it's been fine. (I use it as a second add on for swimming) You can also use the front of the arms, or off side on the front of the arm, just make sure to avoid directly over the muscle! That can hurt! Since I restart my Dexcom's, I prefer...

If you were just diagnosed 3 years ago with type 1, it's possible you are still in the honeymoon phase. As an adult when you "get" type 1, your insulin production doesn't suddenly stop. We call that the honeymoon phase. You still make insulin, but it can be erratic and declines over time. So if...

Hi @SueJB ! Are you on any medications? Some can cause it. When they put me on Januvia, it caused it. Back then it wasn't listed as a side effect so no one thought that was it. But when I stopped they slowly went away. It could be an electrolyte shortage, a lot of the time potassium. We used to...

@LinsT Thank You! I found his site! Some of it looks really good! You might be interested in It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken by Sam Turnball recipes for turkey and bologna deli slices. I have never tried a recipe of hers I haven't liked. I use her Seitan steak recipe. She also has a nice chicken...

@LinsT Yep, You can treat it like tofu or seitan. Just slightly chewier, slight flavor difference. It can come flavored, but that goes for tofu, seitan or tempeh. I haven't made my own seitan deli slices. I've thought about trying that. I've been a little lazy as I like a few of the vegan deli...

I love tempeh and tofu. Tempeh has a more meatier texture and usually more flavor to it. Plus you can find it made from various grains too which changes the flavor some. Lightlife has bacon flavored tempeh strips that are delicious! The thing to remember is while it has some flavor, you make it...
