So after a week, my insulin requirements have suddenly reverted back to my normal levels. So that is welcome! So for anyone who is in a similar situation in the future, hopefully yours reverts back soon also.

Ah interesting, i didnt realise half unit pens were a thing. Ill have to see if i can get that for Lyumjev

Interesting, wasn't aware of this. Ill check that out.

Are you back to normal now?

Thanks, interesting I will change my Lantus to see if there is any difference. WIth regards to pens/cartridges, both my Lyumjev and Lantus always comes in a fresh pen (I don't use a pump). Apologise if there is some confusion with my terminology. I do take care to rotate my injection sites and...

I've had the change since November 4th and I switched to a new Lyumjev pen the next day.

That was my first thought also, the cartridge was 80% finished. I swapped to a new pen but it was the same as the old pen.

Lyumjev and Lantus. For Lyumjev, I used to be 1 unit / 10g carbs. Now its more like 1 unit/ 5g carbs.

Hey all, I was diagnosed as diabetic in August 2022. There is still some confusion around my diagnosis as I tested negative for antibodies (twice, the second time a year later). However a stimulated c-peptitde test showed I had low insulin production. My endo (who ive spoked to once since...

Thanks for that. Yeah sometimes my libre will be reporting 3.2 mmol when a finger prick will show 4.0mmol. In my experience this usually happens a lot for specific sensors. For other sensors it will be a lot more accurate. But a bad sensor can distort my TIR and then ill get a dressing down...

Hey, I try to maintain a very tight control of my blood sugar, and this results in my libre 2 reporting that i spend 10% of time below 4mmol. Now, generally that time will be in the high 3s. Rarely do I have a blood sugar that needs more than ~4g of fast acting carbs to correct. I also check...

I saw your post yesterday and it was the first time i had heard about xDrip. I installed it on my phone, what a gamechanger.

Seeing as my antibodies are negative, i'm curious what this means for natural insulin production levels going forward. Mine are clearly reduced at the moment, but if they stay at this level i'd be happy. I think it is making it a lot easier for me to manage my blood sugars. I haven't noticed...

My ratio is roughly 1 unit per 10g. I haven't discussed mody or type3 with my endo, but ive only had a single appointment unfortunately due to staffing issues.

Hey all, So I was diagnosed last August as being diabetic. I was basically DKA on arrival. I'm 31, no family history and bmi of 20. I've had tests for antibodies (GAD, IA2, ZnT8) and all have been negative. I've also had a stimulated c-peptide (i.e. drink a can of coke, bring glucose levels...

Just got 29 / 4.8%. Although i'm not even sure if i'm t1 or t2. My GAD indicated type 2 but they gave me a c-peptide which indicated type 1. I was diagnosed with a1c of 95 in DKA, bmi of 20, age 30 no family history. I got diagnosed in August 2022 and I still haven't had an appointment with...

I was referred to an endo 4 months ago and the appointment keeps getting rescheduled. It's apparently going to be February.

Hey all, I was diagnosed with diabetes about 4 months ago (blood test conducted due to rapid weight loss over the prior 2 months). A1c of 95, I was basically DKA upon admission to hospital. I'm 30, bmi of 20, no family history. Initially they thought I was type 1. I had a GAD test and the...

Hey, I was diagnosed in August and i was started on insulin. My antibody test came back normal however the diabetic nurse has told me to stay on insulin till i see an endocrinologist. Prior the the antibody test, they had thought that i was likely to be type 1. I'm 30 years old, bmi of 20, no...

Hey guys, For those of you who are seasoned users of FreeStyle Libre2, how accurate would you say is the A1C reading? It looks like it is just based linearly on the average glucose reading so I was curious about everyone's experiences of whether it was higher or lower (and by how much). I'm...
