Hi all and thanks for your time, I’m on Lantus I usually take 16 units a day, every couple of months for some reason, even though I’m regularly active, my fasting glucose levels increase throughout the day, calling for 18 units of Lantus instead of the original 16. And then a few weeks later...

Hi all, Does anyone else feel like their throat and lungs are cold when your blood glucose levels go too high? If so, why?

Hi all I hope everyone is well. I’m on Lantus 16U in the morning and Novorapid bolus. For the past few weeks, even couple of months, I’ve had more or less solid (good) blood glucose control, I attribute it to my CGM it’s been so useful. In the last few days, my blood glucose levels have been...

Hi all, Fairly new diagnosis and I am on Lantus in the morning and NovoRapid for meals. I was wondering whether after a meal I am supposed to see a big spike (15+ mmol/L) in blood sugar and then gradually go down over the next few hours or should I be aiming to inject and eat such that the...

Hi all I hope all is well, I am on (NovoRapid before meals and Lantus in the morning) I’m fairly new to this so would appreciate the help. I have read online and in books that meat and proteins boost (over approximately 3-5hours) the release of glucagon to break down glycogen. My diabetes...

Hi everyone I hope all is well, I was diagnosed just recently. With all the virus business I was told that I couldn’t have any coaching or sessions of some sort about the diabetes. I have read a lot about it in the meantime and I think I get on by fine although I guess it’s hard to tell so early...
