Breakfasts are the same for me.... Fine all week, same 1:15 ratio for the same breakfast of porridge and a low fat yoghurt. Then today was up at 10.3 2 hours after. It's frustrating!

Can't believe the useful tips I pick up on this forum even after 21 years of t1! I've never once been advised not to put insulin in the hold, I normally split between hand luggage and hold! Guess it could be common sense though....haha! In off to the US in 3 weeks time and the one thing...

Thanks!

It's locked away in a drawer so so shouldn't of been dropped.... What is the control solution??

Ive got anti bacterial hand wash at my desk which I always use before testing, only got strips last week so surely can't be that! Tested on my home meter just now and was 5.5! Think ill need a new meter for work then..

Was going to start a new topic but since there is a meter one already..... Anyone having issues with their xceed? Just tested pre lunch, 3.6, odd didn't feel hypo, tested to make sure, 13.6.....and again 5.4. Feel a bit bad wasting 3 strips but that's a incredible swing? I'm away home for my...

Thanks.... I'm hoping I wil be okay, never had a hospital appointment due to Diabetes in my 21 years of having it fortunetly. Only time I've been back to hospital overnight is for anaphylactic shock from Peanut allegy in 1993 and 2009. I will keep that company in mind though. :thumbup:

It says its free but when I declared I was type 1 I was charged 40 quid extra last year. This has almost doubled this year. It's Florida I'm going so need to make sure I'm fully covered - I believe medical bills are really high there! Touch wood never needed assistance before!

Thanks! I'll have a proper look tonight, 40 is about the best deal I've had so far...

Anyone recommend anyone for pre existing medical conditions?? Normally just use my bank but they seen to have upped there price! Are there companies who specialise in this?? Also called my doctors surgery yesterday to ask for a new letter for carrying medication..... Was told it will be £20...

Re: Feel Like ****. Would actually be amazing not having to constantly fret about BG's

Re: Feel Like ****. Really do hope pumps and cgm's become available to all soon. Keep pushing for it! I did get a bit annoyed when they told me I was in where near criteria for a pump or cgm. I'm going to keep pestering the though! A cgm would be fantastic to have for exercise and at nights...

I recently have split it into 6 units in the morning and 10 before my bed. It's working well for me. Maybe best speaking to your clinic first though??

It's annoying when a spanner is thrown in. I've eaten the same every day this week for breakfast and had good BG levels and no hypos. Just tested now for 2 hours after my breakfast and had a 11.1. I'm trying not to get too worked up about it, as long as they are not regular.

Tried splitting your lantus?? Suggested to me on here last week and in now splitting my lantus to 8am and 9pm and touch wood seems to be working well for me.

I've had my membership for years but Ig I remember right, I just had to sign a waiver saying they wouldn't be responsible if I needed medical attention.... Not like you are bothering anymore having a hypo!

I'd go mad if they took my membership away because of that, doesn't sound fair at all! Surely if you are hypo aware they can't do that?! I'll test pre gym and post gym. If I'm purely doing weights and my BG is fine then won't do anything, if I'm doing cardio or a mix of cardio and weights I'll...

That's terrible about test strips, I've never had any issues thankfully..... Today I've carried on low carb and split my basal. So far so good. Not stressed out today either!!

Nobody has actually told me, the clinic are always very happy with me. I never used to be like this and I've been diabetic nearly 21 years!. What set it off says a regular eye exam, the optician told me my eyes had changed and basically told me every time I go higher my eyes get damaged. I've...

Thanks again, I appreciate all the advice. Im active most days, either in the gym, football or a hillwalk at the weekend. I guess I need to absolutely nail my ratios. 1:12 was what I thought I was, but this was causing a few mild hypos....
