Hi everyone, I’m looking to get involved in clinical trials of a new basal insulin I’d thought I ask if anyone has been involved in previous clinical trials with this insulin? https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04848480?term=Insulin+Icodec&draw=2&rank=6 So if you’re not already aware...

Please can you sign this petition. It’s actually a very important cause for anyone who does carb-counting. The nightmare of guessing the carbs and getting the insulin dose wrong, potentially killing yourself. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/585726

Hi all, I have a Freestyle Libre Reader and it says it’s suitable for FSL1 and FSL2. Does that mean I can get alarms on the freestyle libre reader? I’m just a bit confused because they’ve also released a freestyle libre 2 reader so what is the difference of these two readers apart from the...

Hi everyone, I’m so happy. I’ve recently been approved for the Freestyle Libre and I’m amazed at how easy it was. I just did a survey about the distress diabetes is causing me and I instantly qualified. But I’m surprised at how much bureaucracy there is, you have to sign a contract with a list...

How much did your basal go down when you used insulin in combination with any of these oral diabetic medication

In the last 4 days I’ve developed severe insulin resistance suddenly out of the blue and I’m wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this in their entire life. My blood sugar is consistently 8-16mmol/L mostly between 12-16mmol/L. I’ve been running around injecting NovoRapid and literally...

For some reason I’ve been high lately in the last week starting last weekend. Last week I was using about 14 Units of Lantus and now I’m currently using 18 units of Lantus which may be increased further. I’m not sure what’s causing the rapid 25-30% increase in my basal, any ideas? I do not...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has ever had their antibodies disappear and did it help them? So the background to my story is I was diagnosed 6 months ago with GAD antibodies level of 713 U/ml Then about 3 months after I went abroad and went to a private hospital for diabetic checkups and...

Hi all, so I have family history of both T1D and coeliac disease — just been diagnosed as T1D about 6 months ago. I was wondering if anyone else knew a bit more about coeliac disease, I know there’s the internet but I can’t seem to find an answer to my question. Does positivity for tissue...

I seem to always be high after starting Tresiba, has anyone else experienced this? My insulin to carb ratio used to be 1:10 throughout the day with Lantus but it’s going crazy with Tresiba that I can’t even work it out. I was hearing so many good reviews about Tresiba but now I’m going off it...

Is it me going crazy or something? Came to the eye clinic and I’m telling her I was diagnosed April 2019 and she’s giving me weird stares saying “type 1s are usually born with it”. She thinks I’m wrong because I’m 19 and diagnosed 6 months ago. I have to explain her that I am born with a...

Hi all, Currently on 14u of Lantus and I’ve been researching Tresiba for a bit now as I’m interested in switching to it. Lots of issues with Lantus that’s why: night highs and midday lows. My main concern is dosing. Everywhere online it says inject once daily but and this is a big but, it says...

Have no idea if there is a connection. But my blood sugar doesn’t seem to be going below 11, injected 2 units and checked 40 mins later, blood sugar is even higher at 12.4 The only “change” I would say is that I had the flu jab today. But I wasn’t aware that it would affect my blood sugar? It’s...

Just wondering: I know needles are supposed to be put in a sharps box but should lancets and test strips be put in aswell? Test strips also contain blood so if you had HIV or something a poor bin man may get infected

Hi guys I’m wondering if any of you have experienced this and what your treatment was I’m nearly 19 and have been diagnosed more than 4 months ago. My symptoms were apparent for nearly a year but I managed to get used to it before I went to the doctors. Had my diabetic eye screening and...

For a few days there has been a recurring pattern of a large blood glucose increase in the night and I can’t really tell what it is down to. Around 19:45 I injected 10 units for my meal (don’t judge me I had wholewheat pasta and fruit) BG: 5.4 mmol/L before the meal Around 21:30 I checked my...

Hi I’m wondering whether my basal is too high but I’m not too sure. I was on 14 units of Lantus when in the UK and thought it would change when I came on holiday to a warmer country but it was exactly the same so I kept giving the 14 units and I’ve been here over 3 weeks and it has been fine...

I’m just wondering what this actually means. Does this mean my B cells have nearly all died or does it mean my immune system is developing tolerance towards my B cells. Around 3.5-4 months ago when first diagnosed my C peptide was 113 and GAD antibodies 713 units/mL. Recent blood tests suggest...

Hi all, I was looking through Diasend and have seen that they have added “Glucomen Day CGM” as a data source. Has anyone ever bought this and used this? I’ve been researching and researching and cannot find the price or ways of obtaining it. If anyone has any detail on this then it would be...
