Hi, everyone. This morning I went to my endocrinologist annual check and she told me I can get Lyumjev instead of Humalog, as it is faster and should be easier to manage. I handled Humalog quite well (TIR 2 96 2 and hba1c 5.5%) so didn't feel I need a change, but still think it might be useful...

Hi, I've been running for 4-5 years now gradually increasing my weekly distances. Now I'm comfortable with 25k a week. I don't get too tired or spend too much time with 25. I think I'll stick to it, although it is getting pretty hot now, so I'll probably do more swimming... I've started...

Hi everyone, I decided to give up smoking 75 days ago, it is the first time I went past the first 3 days. When I was hospitalized for T1 I managed to get some tobacco on day 3 in the hospital... :rolleyes: Feeling quite good after first week went past, up until a few weeks ago when I just got...

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I have a libre 1 currently and am happy with it. I like using a reader and not the phone. I don't feel like being that dependent to phones and the reader is much smaller and I can use it without fiddling, just has one button. They will start giving us...

Hi everyone hope you are all doing well. :cool: I was just wondering if any of you ever used this kind of meter? It is from the 1930s, so maybe too old for first hand experience. :borg: I'm just curious on how it works, it is interesting It is called a Carl Zeiss Ikon D and it is for sale on...

Hi, everyone. I was diagnosed just a year ago with type 1. Unfortunately my wife's little cousin (he's almost 13) has been diagnosed with T1 just a few days ago after the usual symptoms. He is still in the hospital but BG is OK now, feels well now and together with his parents he's starting the...

Hi, I have weighted 200g of raw potatoes, according to the internet potatoes should have around 18g of carbs in 100g . So it all should be somewhere around 35-40g. I will cook and mash them... 3 units should cover 40g usually for me. Is this calculation ok or I'm missing something, I'm asking...

Hi, I just had a hypo, nothing spectacular, just ate some dextrose and 2 plums so it's going up again :) It got me wondering how many hypos do you (fellow T1s) experience? Libre says I had 33 in last 30 days and 70 in 90 days, is that way off? I've been swimming every day in August, so usually...

Hi, I caught a cold, it happens a bit more often since I'm diabetic... Last time 2 months ago. I remember when being non diabetic whenever I had a cold I would be hungry all the time, so I would simply eat all the time... Usually craving for some toast sandwiches, or any kind of bread :)...

I want to persuade a friend to get a Libre, as it is a great piece of tech and much better than strips... She can get it for free, just like me from the insurance, but doesn't want to, I can't understand why. She says it's too complicated to use it, or she'll know too much or similar...

I always try to eat dinner at 7 so the insulin stops working at 11 or close. I feel pretty relaxed when having 5-6mmol reading before bed, if it's lower I eat a bit. Usually my night time glucose is between 4 and 5 mmol, I sleep pretty good... I should be ok with that kind of numbers? I have...

Hi, everyone I've been diagnosed with Lada/t1 few months ago. I'm mostly withing range during the day, but during the night after 2 o clock, my Libre says I go below 4, but not below 3mmol. Almost every night. I usually go to sleep with 6-8 mmol and take my last bolus (humalog) at 19h. I'm...

Hi, I'm newly diagnosed LADA/T1 3 months ago... I was not much of a drinker before diagnosis, but still was drinking 5-10 beers a month depending on the season :angelic: I said goodbye to beer when I first realized I had diabetes, but later I stumbled on a blog article in which a fellow T1...

Hi ,everyone... I was diagnosed with LADA or T1 a few months ago at 35, it was quite unexpected as I didn't feel all that bad, but it turned out my glucose was over 20, so I went to hospital treatment immediately... It seems that we all have to find our own ways of managing diabetes so it's...
