I agree, thanks a lot for your words!

Thanks! I'm gonna have a look at it. My question might sounds stupid but is it possible to follow a low carb diet and put on weight?

Interesting, my nurse asked me to stop eating sweet breakfasts (bread+ honey) because I was experiencing too many spikes.... I miss it terribly.

When I say that I'm afraid to be in hypo if I eat more carbs it is because I know hat I will have to inject more insuline than I usually do...i always have this little voice " what if you injected too much". Getting out of my zone of comfort is difficult but yeah I need to trust myself when I...

I wish I could be as confident as you...maybe after some time. Any recommendations are welcome

Yes, I use a libre and it is so useful. I guess I need to take a deep breath and increase the quantity of carbs I'm allowing myself. It makes me so anxious to increase the quantity of insuline but I need to work on it quickly because I just can't continue like that thanks your kind help

Yes, I’m scared of being in Hypo when I inject a lot of insulin (for me, injecting over 7u of bolus is a lot…don’t know why). I’m used to eat low carbs meals at night or even at lunch sometimes and I do not have Hypos. That is why I’m more comfortable eating fewer carbs I guess… however I...

How do you avoid spikes? When I eat bread or cakes I can't avoid it even if I wait 20-30 mn after my bolus injection

Hi, How many carbs do you eat every day? Since I got diagnosed 2 years ago with Type 1, I’m very anxious about injecting over 7u of bolus for a meal… and for dinner, It’s worse, I always try to get a low carb meal. My problem is that I eat fewer carbs than I really want because I’m scared of...

Thank you so much for your advice and info. It really helps me. For the past few days, my body has definitely reaquested more insuline...I don't really understand why. It seems that from a day to another, my carb ratio decreased significantly....I was at 0.7 now 0.5. I'm still investigating

Thanks a lot!!

Hi, I have a sensor, so when I have a doubt I finger prick and yeah both sensor and monitor are showing the sames figures. I didn't feel "sick" but a bit "weird" and now I have no other symptoms than a light muscle pain and a dry mouth. When I tested the first time (when my level of ketones was...

Thanks, and what is considered a low carbs diet? I eat around 120gr per day and would like to eat more than that but I'm afraid of no being able to manage my BG...is it safe to exercise with a ketone level at 0.7?

Hi, I don't know what to do or what to think and I would really appreciate your help. A few days ago, I tested my ketones because I wasn't feeling 100%, I was at 0.7. I monitored it all day, in the afternoon I was back to 0.1 but at 9pm, I was at 0.9... I didn't know what to do.. my BG was ok...

Thank you, I usually inject the novorapid in my stomach and levemir in my legs/buttocks. Will run few test and see how it goes...

I see, I'm just scared to wait so long before eatin. I developed a real fear for hypos episodes. I will try to wait a bit longer and see how it goes. Thanks

Yes, I use novorapid. I don't know if it is due to the insuline or if it's my body that reacts differently to the food....

Hi, I would really appreciate it if you could help me. I have noticed for the past 3 weeks that my Blood sugar rises quite high after eating. The amount of insulin I inject is correct as I go back to a “normal” figure after 4 hours, but I can rise from 5mmol to 13 … I do my injections 20 to...

Hi, Thank you for your message. TBH, I think that I did'nt have my honeymoon period as the ratio 1/10 has always worked and I have not decreased my Levemir/ Novorapid dosage since Day 1. But yeah, I read that the honeymoon phase mostly happens shortly after being diagnosed… what do you think...

Hi, I was diagnosed in Sept 2019, after going in DKA and 5 horrible days in intensive care, I went back home with a lot of guidelines and a taste of despair. I am 36 and despite the shock, and after the first 2 months trying to understand this conditions, I have been doing quite well until...
