How are you stress levels? Me personally I am a very very VERY anxious person. From my personal experience there is a ton of stuff that could happen from high anxiety. This too. You should definitely mention it to a doctor. However, if you have a stressful period keep in mind that this could...

Hey everyone. Sorry if this was posted before. I was wondering what your bedtime / wake up time is like. Do you find that having a worse sleeping schedule negatively impacts your diabetes control? The reason why I'm wondering about this is because I work late evening shifts (till 1am) and I...

I feel you. Bg often goes haywire when doing activity while high. What I tend to do is when Im working out and I see that my sugar isn't dropping, I kinda push myself to the limits. That usually gets the ball rolling and drops my bg. Sometimes too much tho and have to end up having a snack to...

Currently very lazy on my activities. Had a bit of a depressive period which also caused me to abuse alcohol for a while. However, I used to be very active and I'm on the good path to getting better. When I used to be more active I did around 30 mins - 1 hour of brisk walking just after...

Hey. I am on Novorapid myself and having similar issues at the moment. But I honestly have doubts that it is the insulin itself. I used to have similar issues with Fiasp and I got scared that its not working and switched to Novorapid. The issue still happens from time to time. Personally I...

Hey everyone. I am too one of the people who were diagnosed with T1D but lived without insulin for around 2 years. For me personally, I went to the hospital with A1C % of 10 and fasting BG of 20. Was instantly put on insulin. However, within a few weeks my insulin needs kept on dropping and...

Just a little thing I noticed. Was checking my step counter on the phone. It seems that the past 2 - 3 months I am taking way less steps than I used too. This timeframe is approx when these issues have arisen. Definitely might be my physical activity levels I guess? I do wonder about my...

Not with a CGM atm but I do use them. Usually the bg doesn't climb rapidly. Usually its high in the morning I get it down but it climbs back up with lunch and stays that way until late evening when I can get it down again. The injections I mentioned are just correction doses. I would assume...

Hello, I am a T1D of a few years now. Lately it seems like my insulin is doing absolutely nothing unless I combine it with physical activity. I had some issues with alcohol abuse in the past and I am currently fighting with that and I sometimes relapse and start drinking for a few days until...

I was sick. But I am recovering and almost over the illness just a bit of cough remains at this point. However, I am still taking antibiotics and not sure if this could be messing with my blood glucose. I am not sure if I am stressed or not. Generally, I am always under a bit of stress but...

Hello people. I have no idea what is going on but I feel so hopeless at this point. For the past few days I wake up with bg of 14 - 15 mmol and I have no idea why. I have not really changed anything.. What could be causing something like this?

I guess you guys have been in this situation. You are at a restaurant and you order a diet soda with your food. However, you are not sure whether the soda you got is actually diet or just regular. I personally can hardly taste the difference. Is there any way to make sure its sugar free?

Hello everyone. I am kind of desperate by now. You see I am sick. I haven't tested yet but I suspect COVID. I really cant control my blood sugar. It was about 10 mmol for the majority of yesterday. Today I wake up and it's 14 mmol... I try to inject various amounts of insulin and it doesn't...

Hey everyone! First of all, thank you for your tips and no I wasn't vaccinated yet. I thought I will answer my own question because it may be interesting to others and maybe it might help someone figure this out. Well, I have been researching and apparently, this happens to some people with...

Hey guys I am in such a weird position right now that I can't understand at all and am unsure what to do. It seems that on some days insulin works great or at least somewhat good and a few units successfully lower my bg. However, a lot of times it seems that I inject with food and the sugar...

Hey again. Thanks to everyone for the tips! It went quite alright! I ended up having 3 beers instead of 2 and didn't mess with my basal insulin. At first, the beer did make my sugar spike up to bout 11 mmol and I got panicky and took a second correction shot. However, I didn't go low and the...

Hello everyone. I am planning on consuming 2 beers this evening and I was wondering whether I should lower my basal rate for that because I am scared of going low while I sleep. Now I have done a bit of research and it seems that 2 beers will only stay in the system for up to 5 hours based on...

Hmm, this is very interesting. I'm not sure how to describe the meal its sort of like pancakes with meat just that instead of regular flour it consists out of almond flour. I tend to use almond flour everywhere to help me on my low carb journey lol

Thanks for the advice! I am actually not sure how to do basal testing could you tell me more about this? Regarding the stacking of correction doses, yep I am aware of this and actually try to use it to my advantage :D For me the main issue with doing maths is procrastination :angelic:

Hey everyone just wanted to say hello! I am new to the forums and am excited to be a part of this community. :) PS. Don't know if this is the right spot to write something like this
