I seem to be having a lot of spiking blood glucose reading every morning! I know I suffer with dawn phenomenon but I just can’t get a handle on the BG in the AM. They tend to start behaving after lunch but until then it is a battle! I have tried various different breakfast to see if that is...

Hi, I have just started looking into pumps and wondered what pumps people were using with FIASP? Any pros and cons I should consider? I personally would prefer the OmniPod but this is unavailable in my area. [emoji53] My DSN has informed me I’d have more options if I go back to Novorapid...

It’s an absolute nightmare when it doesn’t behave!!! I have been doing regular blood ketones and they are at bay at 0.1 thankfully! [emoji846]

It been like this for 2 and half weeks. I generally feel okay other than a headache unless I’m harbouring something and it just hasn’t shown its face yet. My job is no more stressful than it normally is. I don’t generally feel stressed other than the added stress on unruly diabetes! ‍♀️

I feel like I’m wadding through mud at the moment. I don’t feel unwell apart from a headache I’ve put down to high BG. Unless I’m harbouring something and it just hasn’t appeared yet. Stress - my job is no more stressful than it usually is. Don’t feel stressed at home. I have a coil so...

High BG makes me feel really thirsty so am drinking a lot at the moment. I appreciate all the advice, suggestions and knowledge sharing! [emoji4]

BG are highs of 24 and barely going below 15- which is unusual for me I usual sit around 8(ish) I have checked my ketones by blood and the results are 0.1. Metformin I take with breakfast (around 8am) and evening meal (between 6:30-8pm) - I don’t recall forgetting to take a dose. Thank you...

Hi, I do pre bolus - around 15-20 minutes beforehand. I’m also on Metformin 500mg twice a day due to ‘insulin resistance’. Other than a banging headache I feel generally well - headache I have put down to to the high levels. I split my basal in two(ish) 8am = 20u of levermir and 8pm =...

I forgot to add that to the list - I received a new pen last week as I thought it might be this but things are still the same. Changed batches of insulin to see if it was that too.

Hi, I was logged in to my account and for some reason it logged me out this AM so I signed back in and there was no data showing on the app but the app was aware there were 4 days left on the sensor - I assume this is data on the sensor. I share my data with the hospital I’m under so was...

Hi, I am currently on the Libre sensor and my blood sugars are sky high and I am struggling to get a grip with them! I’ve checked my blood glucose alongside this and they seem to be running extremely higher than normal! I’m currently one Levermir twice daily 8am =20u 8pm = 18u Novorapid with...

Hi, I am currently using the Libre sensor but for some reason all my data from the last week and half has disappeared from the app on my phone - anyone experienced this and been able to retrieve the data? TIA Kimberley

So far it seems to be helping! [emoji5]

Thanks for the advice! Didn’t realise there was more than one type! [emoji5]

Hi Karen, I’m currently taking in the morning and move to breakfast and dinner from tomorrow- I’m surprised at how quickly I have noticed changes! I didn’t expect it to work this quickly! Side effects I have are just stomach discomfort but I assume it’s because it’s new and will hopefully...

The article I read seems to suggest it was dependent on where you lived - postcode lottery! I’ve trialled the libre and think it’s fab but unfortunately I don’t meet the said criteria!

Hi, I’ve been T1DM for nearly 12 years now - BG haven’t always been high but always above what my consultant and I would like them to be. He has raised the subject over the last few appointments I’ve had that I may be ‘resistant’ to the insulin I’m taking at certain times, but never suggested...
