I take morning and night time doses so 7units in the morning at 8am and then 10units at 9pm. I adjust my basal accordingly depending on if I see a trend over a few days. I've tried increasing my night basal before and ended up in hypo throughout the night. I might try increasing it again and...

Hello everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and enjoying the warm weather! I struggled with the dawn phenomenon before but changed my evening dose of basal to just before bed to 10pm instead of at dinner time at 6pm. This helped massively but after a while I noticed my basal...

Morning everyone, 4.3mmol this morning on both libre and BG [emoji3526] I hope you all have a lovely Friday [emoji258][emoji3508]

Morning everyone! 5.3 this morning which has not happened in a long time, but I've had a very sleepless night due to my libre thinking I'm in hypo when I'm not. I have a feeling my levels will be on the low side today and hard to manage due to the lack of sleep but we shall see... I hope...

Good morning! Early start for me today libre 4.4 but BG is 7.3mmol at 5am. think I may have a faulty sensor. Did the same yesterday afternoon libre was 3.3 but BG was 8.3mmol. I only changed it yesterday as well! Will keep an eye on it today whilst at work and see whether I need to change it...

Hello everyone! I am type one, newly diagnosed June 2021 xx

9.5 this morning [emoji24]

Unused (unopened) insulin left at room temperature can be returned to refrigeration but must be used within designated days of initially being stored at room temperature. It shouldn't have ruined it as long as you use it within the time frame of it being left out at room temperature. Possibly...

It's only 30g of carbs not even that. If insulin ratio and bolus is correctly done it shouldn't take you high

I have breakfast smoothies all the time, as long as you balance out the sugar with fats you don't tend to get spikes. For instance I sometimes have smoothies with scrambled egg and avocado alongside to balance it out, it dampens down the sugar spike. The smoothie below I can have on its own...

I probably take in 100-200g of carbs a day, I thought that was a normal amount as that's all I've known but since becoming T1D my diabetic nurses have said I eat a very low carb diet. I haven't purposely chosen a low carb diet I just naturally eat that way. I'm fairly active and go for three...

I was diagnosed about 8 months ago and still feel constantly exhausted. Even if I have a decent night sleep (which is uncommon) I will still end up waking feeling like I haven't slept. It's difficult isn't it because everything then seems like chore to do. I hope it eases soon!

Thank you I will give this a go!

Thank you all for your comments, I think because I am aiming on getting pregnant in the near future they want my morning BG to be below 5.4mmol on waking. As pre pregnancy and during pregnancy the range and levels are very strict, so just wondered if there was anything anyone has tried to to...

Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend so far [emoji3526] I'm currently struggling with the dawn phenomenon and not sure what else to try. My BG levels are amazing throughout the night but as soon as the early morning hits I'm straight back up. So at 4am this morning my BG was...

Literally sums it up! Very well written x

Hello @Juicyj! Thank you, yeah I didn't until I had a discussion with a diabetes nurse whilst on shift the other day and she mentioned she found a 1/4 unit pen but couldn't find it when we looked. Okay no worries I'll look into it after work today. My control at the moment is good but it's...

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well! I'm very new to this as was only diagnosed T1D 6 months ago. I just wondered if anyone uses a reusable 1/4 unit insulin pen device for Novorapid. I am currently using Novo pen echo 1/2 unit device. I have heard that in the UK they don't have them but...
