I've been trying a ketogenic diet for the past couple of months. It's improved my sugar levels so much. My HBA1C is now 43. I've learnt to cook so many delicious things too. Yesterday, I made a coconut and almond flour sponge with chocolate butter icing and caramel butter cream filling. It's...

Hi, While I've been a type 1 for 40plus years, I've always assumed that Candarel sweetener type products were zero carbs. I've just read the labels and they are actually 100%, gram for gram carbs. I can't figure out how I've gone so long without noticing the impact on my blood suger. I guess...

Sorry, I thought I'd attached pictures

Hi, I'm a Type 1 and after 40-something years of struggling I have realised that the only way I can control my sugar levels is with a ketogenic diet. If I eat any carbs, it will be no more than 40g/day and always in the morning. One big thing to learn when newly diagnosed is honest and accurate...

My GP demands annual reviews to refresh my repeat prescriptions. My doctor offers either a full check or, as in my case, allows me to be reviewed at the hospital clinic. In my case, the GP reviews are then more cursory and a nurse checks my feet, weight etc and asks about my lifestyle choices...

Buttery peas a delicious. Butter makes everything delicious. Stir butter into sauce and soup and it adds texture that enhances the flavour. You could also try adding vinegar to the oil. There are several types of vinegar like apple cider and red wine which have other health benefits. Vinegar...

I'm a type 1 using omnipod and Libre. I've been a frustrated diabetic for 40plus years. I've been fasting (complete) for two days a week for about three months and settled in to the routine. My experience: The two days of the week that I'm fasting are my best controlled days. The basal...

The guidance I was given was to use the sildenfil with other aids like rings and a pump.

My night time BG varies according to my evening eating. Protein and fat all contribute to rises in BG. Eating high carb food demands higher boluses and these may be the cause. I use AAPS and the software shows that digesting my evening meal can sometimes take all night, especially after cheese...

Hi. My wife and I drive to eat a low carb diet but it's so hard. We've started eating food that's not typically breakfast in the morning which, once you are used to it, opens up loads more low carb options. Ie breakfast isn't just toast or cereal. Eggs, eggs and more eggs (they are so...

How did you get on?

I find drinking too much barista style coffee gives me mild acid reflux which then aggravates my tonsils. I'm fine with instant coffee. I do love the faff of making barista style coffee and have the paraphernalia for grinding and brewing coffee beans. I have had to cut making my own coffee down...

I closed loop using the Omnipod Eros and Freestyle Libre2 with AAPS. Really happy with it

Hi. I'm using the Omnipod Euros with a freestyle Libre and Android APS. My control is so much better and my weekly in-range rates are between 75% and 85%. I'm in the UK and get my stuff free. The set up is very hard work and operation is also hard work but the effort yields good results so the...

Yes. [emoji2960]

I think so, If I remember rightly I used the Fiasp pen around 8pm

Called omnipod who said to change pod. When I looked at the canula I could see a kink. I believe this is the cause of my control issue. I think it was working when it was first fitted but I may have bumped it sometime and accentuated the kink. I can't remember going that long without insulin...

I have updated the Vdrip app and now I get a little Vdrip icon floating my home screen (a bit like Messenger). Is there a way to stop this? I also get a "P" in a circle next to my level reading. What does this mean? Thanks people.
