Traveling with low immunity, type 1 and old.....what to eat in South Korea? Based in UK. Thanks

Everyone is different but I would say from my experience.....I had a very quick introduction into type 1 via a diabetic coma. After that I only needed 0 to 0.5units of insulin depending on carb intake for a long while. My pancreas is still working several years later. It just showed that even a...

Well done for making wise decisions and being so proactive, doing the best for your health. Someone on this forum gave me this advice when I was diagnosed as LADA ....I will pass it on to you. Insulin is your friend. I didn't feel like this in the beginning, I was on half a unit of insulin and...

Will try. Easy to eat on the go

Fantastic advice! Really appreciate it.

Definitely SimonP78 ...I go for low key as well. Despite using a pen and needle covers and trying to be discreet....some folk can't have lunch with me because it makes them squeamish. I know I would drop the pen down the loo

Thanks for the quick replies. Very helpful and much appreciated. Your advice gives a little more confidence making life easier. Surrounded by non diabetics who think the media type 2 diabetes is the only kind. Anytime I eat something sugary when going low they are a bit judgemental. It's taken...

Dental bills, maintaining weight, other health issues.... trying to reduce sugar. Have jelly babies+ nairn or glucose shots for hypos. Tried sultanas, didn't work. Anyone using honey and how much do you need? When bg drops during exercise or snacks before exercise what do people eat? All advice...

Do you carb count raw or cooked weights for vegetables, rice, pasta? Are the carb amounts affected by different cooking methods? Thanks for the advice.

I would try increasing your basal slightly and waiting a week to see if anything changes. Good luck ps: my nurse said doing cardio can increase bg and later make it drop...or keep it high.... I find power walking is best for me to slightly lower my bg.

Done....thanks for posting!

Didn't know that. It is so delicious!

Meant to say.. you can get them in Sainsburys and Amazon

Have baked a heap of keto goodies. Was looking for a no effort snack. Found wildlings duck crackling. Went on their website and they have other low carb snacks too. Much better than pork crackling which I find a little too rich. No msg either all natural! I ate 4 packets today....greedy guts...

Where are they selling these? Thx

Hi - I send my bg numbers, food diary to my diabetic nurse every 3 days. The nurse said I am coming out of honeymoon because my numbers were rising and I needed to go back on tresiba.. I had a consultant appointment last week but that was cancelled for the foreseeable. No clinic appointments...

Hi thanks for replying. Am on fixed doses 5 units tresiba, 1.5 fiasp. I eat meat, veg, eggs, nuts, cheese and add a bit of toast at one meal to keep my weight up. Can only eat meals with insulin. Snacks make my bg rise....includes any food that I eat. Have cut out all the food that gives me a...

Lada for 8 months coming out of honeymoon. Giving tresiba once a day and 1.5 units fiasp when eating. I eat a keto diet but need a little starchy carb to keep my weight up. I increase fiasp dosage adding an extra 1 to1.5 units when eating starchy carbs, nuts, coconut milk, soy, hummus...

Hi - have been type 1 since October and give 4 injections a day. I always did bruise easily anyway. I try to relax and give injections slowly but I am bruised all over. Any advice?
