    Insuman basal discontinued

    Hello! Haven't been on the forum for quite some time, but I suppose you'd like to know that Hypurin Porcine Isophane should also be available still. It's a real "oldtimer", so it is of course possible that no one is really willing to prescribe it any longer... Sorry for possilble spelling...

    Blucon Nightrider battery - How long should it last?

    Jess @j_c_boing and @alanboo - I have switched to a more robust type of batteries, and it has solved the problem. I'm up at about 2 weeks of usage time/battery nowadays. Thank you both, for usable hints to solve the problem...:)

    How long are you on LCHF diet?

    Ah, OK - I see @DCUKMod . I'm sorry, to not being more specific, but i just did not notice it myself. As we were talking keto here, I assumed, that a value mentioned, is and has to be ketones, not a bloodsugarlevel. I admit, my wrong, sorry! Though, I think I really would be able to answer...

    Sorry @ziggy_w . I deleted my post, mostly because it was not very well thought out. Had some assumptions there, that I had to self-censor...

    How long are you on LCHF diet?

    @DCUKMod Hello :) Yupp - sure, you did not read 16, now ;). 1.6, with enough insulin on board, should not be a problem yet. Problem could come, if one gets into starvation-ketosis, after about 3.0 mmol/l. DKA, probably not a problem, before you go over 5 mmol/l, though, so yes - up and...

    How long are you on LCHF diet?

    Do large volumes of low carb foods increase blood sugars?

    Jupp - gluconeogenesis does this to me, but then I am a T1... Doesn't really matter for me, if it is lean or fat meat. After about 3-4 hours I'm starting to get a relatively slow but steady peak, if I eat some more proteins.

    My GPS advice!

    Hmm - as a T1 I do not only have 1 meter, I actually have 2. One at home and one at work. I could think about donating one of them, til next time you are going to meet that GP. Ask him to put the meter, where it should be, even if it at that point, really could give false readings... I think I...

    My struggles with type 2

    @Peterj12 May I ask - have you checked with a blood sugar meter, to be able to make such a statement? Edited only to insert tag And edited a second time to insert the following lines: Yes, got a little bit too surprised and upset, because of the quoted line above, that I forgot to also say...

    Blucon Nightrider battery - How long should it last?

    Blucon Nightrider, uses a flat CR2032 battery. I have recently bought a Blucon, but it is in my opinion wasting batteries. One battery lasts for about 4 days. What are your experiences, in this case? Is my Blucon faulty?
