    Type 1 Am I taking a lot of insulin??? Type 1

    @Rokaab @helensaramay @Muneeb thanks guys! Thats really put my mind to rest. From what my diabetic nurse told me I was under the impression these cartridges should last at least 2-3 weeks. But it appears my body just needs a higher insulin/carb ratio as I eat very little carbs... but then...

    Type 1 Am I taking a lot of insulin??? Type 1

    Okay so this may be a really dumb question, but I'm new to all this and haven't got a clue. Is it normal to go through a 3ml cartridge of rapid acting insulin a week? I think Ive got my basal insulin spot on so I don't think it's a factor. Any insight is much appreciated.

    I've tried deleting the app then redownloading this morning. I waited over night to see if it was just taking awhile to connect but nothing worked. I will try the delete and re add again though

    Connecting dexcom to xdrip+

    I have a Samsung s9 phone and downloaded the dexcom g6 app which paired with my dexcom no problems. Now I've downloaded the latest version of the xdrip and gone through all the processes of trying to connect my dexcom and it's just not working. Is this because I've already paired the sensor with...

    Type 1 Newly diagnosed taking Fiasp

    @helensaramay - I think my basal is pretty on point as it's steady throughout the night. - When I say spike, I mean rise and stay there. - unsure about the diet, I just wanted to try to reduce my insulin intake but I was unaware protein was a factor... - yes I lost some weight so this would...

    Type 1 Newly diagnosed taking Fiasp

    I started taking Fiasp w/ a 24hr about 3-4 weeks ago - this is my first go on the basal bolus regime. The first few days I followed what the nurse said in regards to trying 1 unit/ 20g carbs (as I might be in honeymoon period). This wasn't working at all so I decided to try 1 unit/15g. Still I...

    Type 1 Getting a T-Slim & Dexcom in the UK

    Yes I have done loads of research on pumps, carb counting and the honeymoon phase - I feel like no matter how much I read, when it comes to the situation at hand its still a bit of a trial and error thing. Regarding insulin pumps at first I was thinking of the omnipod, but the dexcom and tslim...

    Type 1 Getting a T-Slim & Dexcom in the UK

    Hey thanks for your reply, I am actually on the libre and have been pretty much since I was diagnosed. Not self funded but NHS. My Dr just gave me one... Since reading up on it, it seems like it's almost impossible for most people to get?? Seems I got lucky! Yes the hypos are bad, much worse in...

They say its going to be at least another month or so until I can see one and then i'll have to wait at...
