    Dr Zoe Harcombe on Top Form Veganuary - LBC

    Most of it is tosh. Throughout all of time people have come along with the latest and greatest diet to do this that and everything else, fancy a Tudor or Edwardian diet or even follow the teachings of Dr Kellogs? No I doubt it but at the time was seen to save the soul. Current mass produced...

    Ct scan/xrays

    Best ask the technician the best thing to do, so long as the pump is not in the area they are scanning, do see why it should be removed, but no expert.

    Type 1.5 Tresiba

    Moved from Lantus, because it wasn't lasting 24hours to Tresiba a while ago, it good, you can miss an injection with out having a devastating effect on things because it has a 72 hour window. The only down side is that it can take a couple of days for any changes made to work into the system.

    Does the MiaoMiao/a CGM make a difference?

    The advantage a MiaoMiao gives that when used with comparable software/phone is the alarms which can be set on your phone for highs and lows, they can be set for multiple levels. Effectively it changes the Libre from a Flash to a CGM monitor. Like all information it can make a difference to how...

    Large Spike after Breakfast - Alternatives?

    Spike to 20? Ooooo, OK you could try changing the amount of insulin your pump pushes out to cover the carbs your eating? Thought pumps could be programmed like that, but not sure. Bacon, eggs, sausage, low carb beware of bread some of them can be carby and slow digest, or continental style...

    Large Spike after Breakfast - Alternatives?

    Yep sounds about right. Cereal takes a while to break down and digest, being on midi means that over a period of say 2-4 hours after eating, can be injection to account for the 142g of carb I eat. Spike to 11-12 then back down again sounds right. Might be worth looking up the insulin profile...

    Is there a guide to starting up with the Freestyle Libre?

    There is usually some paper work inside that shows you how to apply the sensor, it is fairly easy. Yep you can apply straight out the shower, as Mei said just make sure the area is dry. You can download the Libre link app from the play store.

    Type 1 Is there a way to evaluate how severe is the brain damage caused by a triggered hypoglycemia

    Indeed hypos or hypers can be dangerous if not caught or dealt with in time. But it is a learning process and all T1 go though these things during their life. Have a fab Christmas with your daughter and family.
